Submitting Your Website to Search Engines!

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 release, newspaper or radio ad, banner ad, spam email or newsletter will achieve the same results, although, maybe effective in a small 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 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. Because there are thousands of new websites coming up every day and it may take quite sometime before they take up your site for review by human editors. One important factor to remember while submitting site is to include a site map of your website which makes the crawling easy for the web robots. Search engines like ‘http://www.google.com’ hardly considers submissions without sitemaps.

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:

http://www.webposition.com/

Or if you want professional help try the following sites:

http://www.addpro.com/professional_submission

http://www.submitawebsite.com/

Don’t use the automatic submission services.

Here is a list of the most popular Search Engines and directory companies:

Search Engines
Go.com/InfoSeek AltaVista
Google, HotBot
Excite/Webcrawler

Directories
AOL Search Inktomi
Lycos Open Directory
MSN, Yahoo!
LookSmart Snap

Apart from the above there are thousands of search engines and directory companies, where you can submit your website to as many companies as possible. The following links gives info on other search engines and directories:

So try to make use of some of this information, I did and my results have improved!

Thanks, Dave…

Great article. There’s a lot of good information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Ubuntu with the current beta of Firefox, and the look and feel of your blog is kind of flaky for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn’t work so well.

Joanna Mckusker Says:

Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate several very powerful methods of getting users. You can grab ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this software. Then once you have them you can do a friend add to your user ID or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is amazing…

Dave Says:

Hi Joanna,

Feel free to post the program your talking about.

Thanks, Dave

Because a good number of folks are struggling with low back pain, I would like to share the knowledge about what has aided me. The founder of The Healthy Back Institute, Jesse Canonne, has lately publicized his new book “The 7 Day Back Pain Cure” and for now, you can get hold of it AT NO COST here: live-without-back-pain.com/LoseBackPain. But rush, that free offer could end anytime!

The simple rule of Internet business is to be visible. The websites of the businesses which don’t have the online visibility would sink like Titanic. There are many online marketing tools which help these sites have a visibility, web directory is only the one of thousands, add url to as many places as possible is the way to move up in ranks.

Hi Dave,

I’ve just stumbled across your blog and have seen that you have been replying to all these comments. 99% of them are automated spam comments mate. They are not from real people.

Just thought I’d give you a heads up.

Regards

Andy
