Must Read Before Submitting Website to Search Engines
This section will show you how to go about submitting your website to the search engines and directories in the most efficient manner. Make sure that you pay close attention to this section because if you don’t submit your site properly you may end up not even getting listed!
A big BIG side note…
Some people get so eager to get traffic from the search engines that they start submitting all of their web pages and in many cases submit their website and web pages multiple times or every day hoping that doing this will speed up the process of their listing. You will find some secrets for getting listed quickly here. But multiple times, daily . . . .
DO NOT DO THIS!
Submitting your website and pages on your website to the search engines repeatedly WILL NOT get you listed faster and will probably get you banned before you ever even have a chance to get listed!
Do not submit your site until you’ve gone through this course and done all of the things to your web pages that we recommend. If you do everything that we recommend first, you have a much bigger chance of not only getting listed in your favorite search engine but being listed highly for keywords that you want!
If you have a web-based business or if a significant portion of your business is done on the web through your website, then the best advertising and marketing is done by submitting to a search engine. No amount of press releases, newspaper or radio ads, banner ads, spam email or newsletters will achieve the same results, although, they maybe effective in a smaller proportion.
Beware of companies that promise automatic submission of your website to hundreds of search engines which are but only false promises. The best way to submit your website for search engine ranking and inclusion is to do it yourself or to hire an expert to do it (If budget allows), manually, by contacting the search engine companies and directories.
Before you begin to submit your website to search engines ensure your websites are thoroughly designed to the professional quality using the right key words, good graphics and pictures and the relevant content. Don’t submit websites that are incomplete. While submitting to a search engine, make sure to provide information about your website, keywords and any other information that may be pertinent, including the name and contact information of your business.
Mere submission to search engine companies does not guarantee that your site would be immediately listed and the ranking will be high. With searchable directories, because there are thousands of new websites coming online every day, it may take quite sometime before directories pick up your site for review by human editors.
One important factor to remember while submitting a site to search engines is to include a site map of your website which makes the crawling easy for the search engines web robots (Spiders). Search engines like ‘http://www.google.com’ do have better success indexing all the pages on a site if you include a sitemap.
There are many online companies that accept search engine submission services. You can choose to do it yourself with a software package and service like this one:
Or if you can afford professional help try the following sites:
