Search engines are one of the most important ways to gain traffic. Yahoo, Google, and MSN are the top 3. They receive more hits than you and I can ever even dream to. By submitting to them, you'll be able to capture a small part of the huge audience that uses search engines every day. This section will talk about the search engine submission process in detail.
Where To Submit & How?
Before you can submit you need to find a place to submit to. It’s recommend that you focus your search engine submission efforts to the top search engines, as they are capable of providing you with serious traffic. The big search engines provide the most visitors. This doesn't mean that you should completely ignore the smaller engines. It does mean that you should focus on the big ones. If you can rank well in just one or two of the major search engines, the traffic you'll receive will in most cases surpass that of 20 minor engines put together.
It’s recommended that you should submit your website yourself to the main ones and use a search engine submission tool to submit to the small search engines. Submitting to search engines via an automated tool is a cost-effective move in terms of traffic received/time spent.
After submitting your URL should keep an eye on your rankings in the main search engines. Try to continuously tweak your pages so they appear closer to the top in search results. If you lose a good ranking under an important keyword, you will immediately notice the change in the amount of visitors you receive.
So with major search engines, the work doesn’t stop when your search engine submission process is complete. You can gain traffic just by submitting your pages to all of the engines and then forgetting about them, but it is nothing compared to what you can achieve if you optimize your pages and continuously change them to match any changes in the algorithm.
Submit One Page Or All Of Them?
The answer to that question is - depends on where you're submitting it to.
If you're submitting to website directories, you should usually only submit your home page and nothing else.You really only need to submit you main page to search engines. Submitting a sitemap is one of the best ways to get all you pages indexed.
Submitting To Yahoo
When Submitting To Yahoo you have a couple of options. You can submit your site for Free or you can pay for your listings. You should use the free option. You will have to register a yahoo account if you do not have one.
Submit Your Site To YahooSubmit Your Site To MSNI've submitted, how do I know my pages are Indexed?
Search for them. You can usually find your webpages/website by entering your URL into the search field.
EXAMPLE – for domain inform I would search
www.domaininform.net
If I wanted to search for the every pages listed I would use the search term
site:www.domaininform.net If you can't find your pages, it might be that they are not included in the index. If that is the situation, don't panic. It always takes the search engine a while to index content after it has been submitted, so be patient. Don't resubmit the pages unless it has been about three weeks since you submitted and you still can't find them in the database. In some cases, the pages have not been indexed because their design or file type is incompatible with the search engine. Tips For Getting Indexed Fast
Search engines follow links, they also index websites that are never submitted at all. After submitting a URL you should create links back to your domain name (your main page or other pages in your website). By doing this I was able to get this site indexed in under 5 days in both Yahoo, and Google. That was without using the 299 Yahoo ask to review your site in 7 days. All by just creating links.
When To Resubmit To Search Engines You should only resubmit when there’s a need to do so.
Some people say that you should resubmit every two weeks or every month. I say to you - don't listen to them. Resubmitting just for the sake of doing it does usually more harm than good. Some search engines appear to slightly prefer older pages over brand new pages, so by resubmitting when you really have no need to do so, you're wasting your time and perhaps even damaging your ranking.
Get Indexed In A Week On 2
Once you Submitted the next thing you should do is start getting links. But how?
Getting Links back to your site helps search engine spiders to come to index your site. Once they find you they will then spider your site. after that you will listed in Google, Yahoo and MSN. Their are many ways to get links but if your can get this links from good trust worthy sites with High PageRank that's related to your site some how this will help you get indexed very quickly.
Well a wonderful way is to signup in forums and create a profile. These always have a homepage link. I would work better if you decided to join a forum that's related to your website. You can create a signature in your profile and add a link for every comment. The best thing is to make meaningful comments. Don't start advertising. It might be a good idea to do this on a couple of forums. Try at least a couple of comments per forum.
You should only resubmit if –
The page has disappeared from the database or never appeared there in the first place.
Your rankings have dropped or are low and you have made some changes to the page that you think will boost your ranking (In this case, it is recommended that you resubmit in order to make the search engine see the changes you've made).
Don't be afraid of resubmitting your pages if you have to, but don't do it just because you can.
