Search engine submissions
How important is it to regularly submit a sitemap to Google and Bing?
How frequently should this be done ideally?
Is it worth having this done automatically?
Is there any value in submitting to 100 search engines these days given the domination of the big three?

B to B is another animal. There is linkedIN and from there I would find sites that cater to your vertical. I would put more emphasis to PR and beyond social media.
If your site is just a jump to another site, that sounds like an affilate program. If that is the case, good luck because now you are going up against a thousand others doing the same thing and your site ends up being the PR vehicle for the actual end product site.
If I have the wrong and what you mean is if people want more info, then you are sending them to the supplier to look up more detail, I would cut that out and get that information on your own site. For one, more content on your site and two, less chance of them finding a competitor. Don't copy/paste duplicate textual content to your site though as that will not help.

I don't consider them to be very important, but if I was doing sites that were about personal relationships and targeted at 15 year old kids I would probably be willing to make some effort, but otherwise I think padas has the percentage about right.

Last question please.
My site is b to b, very much a vertical market where customers need to extra purchasing-based data and then go off to the supplier website.
I really cannot see any of the users doing twitter or facebook.
Maybe I am an old fashioned SEO person but I wonder if 1% is NOT TOO high???
