    Search Engine Submission

    Submitting your Website to the Search Engines

    Search Engines and the World Wide WebYou will need to submit your website to the search engines in order for it to show up in the organic (i.e. natural) search results.

    Google, MSN, & Yahoo, along with other major search services, make it easy for you to submit your website for indexing. In fact all search engines and web directories provide some means of listing your website with them.

    It is suggested to only submit a few pages a day to the major search engines.


    How to Submit your Website

    Submitting your pages to frequently could do you more harm than good. Also, you should not perform this to often as the search engines could see this as spamming.

    Over submitting is one of the biggest mistakes that many webmasters make. Submit your pages no more than a few times a week until you know you have been indexed. In fact search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN actively seek out new websites on their own.

    Don't submit your URL address more than once a day. Also don't submit more than five URLs from the same website in the same twenty four hour period. The slower you submit your webpages the better are your chances of avoiding problems

    An often used technique is to create a sitemap with all of your main links on one page. Then, link to the site map from your home page and the search engine spiders will do the work for you by following these links into your website.

    Search Engine Indexing

    Go to the search engine of your choice, type in the keyword/phrase you are interested in, and see if your site has been indexed. You may have to run through a number of pages to find your URL. Once you find your URL, you then know that you have been indexed. You may want to give this a few weeks in order to be indexed.

    Once your website has been indexed your first priority should be to clean up your website navigation scheme. Be sure that the spiders have a clear path to every webpage in your site so that they can automatically update their index and include any changes you might make along the way.

    Search Engine Submission Services

    There are a multitude of search engine submission services available on the internet. Some are free and others are paid services. They all submit your website to various engines but the quality and level of search engine submissions varies with the service that you use.

    Remember, you can submit your website without the need of hiring a submission service. The need for using such a service is primarily a matter of convenience, especially if you have multiple websites.

    To find submission services just do a search, on any of the search engines, for "submit website" and the results will point you in the right direction.

    Search Engine Ranking

    If over time you notice a decline in your rankings in the indexes of the search engines here is a little tip on how to correct this.

    Rename some of your main webpages, including the filename. At first you will see a small drop in traffic to your website but, within a month or so your rankings will begin to move back up as the spiders reindex these pages. Often to a higher level than before.

    Of course the best way to improve your ranking is to add new and original content on a regular basis. The search engines look for this and will take notice of your website.
