SUBMIT YOUR URLs

Waiting for Search Engines' spiders to find and index your entire site could be a long wait and you could end up waiting forever so submitting your site to the engines is a necessary task. There are many search Engines on the net but the four major free Search Engines listed below will account the most, either directly through their own search services or indirectly through partner sites, it will count for about 95% of your traffic. That's right.............!

You must have come across some of the offering which claimed to submit your sites to 1,000 Search engines for some dollars.

Avoid these services on the net most of them are not true; they are just trying to scam you. Most of them submit mainly to free for all links pages. Don’t fall for them unless you are quite sure but I must say not all of these services are fake some of them are for real too. But you must be smart enough to spot the NOT.

Forget about all this and let’s begin the submission process. I’ve included each Search Engine’s URl here, but please double-check each one to ensure nothing has changed in the meantime.

TRACK THE ENGINES' SPIDER

Some of the engines take weeks, even months, to send their spider over to your site so don't get frustrated. Remember patience is the key to success. It takes time, unlike those get-rich-quick schemes floating around the Net. so while your are waiting, build more content pages and obtain some quality in-pointing links.

Each and every search engine's spider has a name, which shows up in your log files when it visits your site. So keep your eyes peeled for a visit from one of these friendly little creatures in your log files. Although a spider visit doesn't mean your page has been added to an search engine index, it does mean that the search engine has not forgotten about you! That means your site is queued for addition.

If you don't see an Search engine's spider within certain amount of time after subitting (Varies for each engine), you can resubmit according to each engine's acceptable limits. Generally though, if you haven't been indexed and listed within 6-8 weeks, do the following...


1. Resubmit to each Search Engines.

2. build your link popularity. Quality in-pointing have a great effect. Without a few to validate your site, some search engines may hesitate to list you in their indices. If you don't have any links, and you can't seem to get listed, this is likely to be the issue.

Just keep your focus on creating lots of solid keyword focused informative content.


After you've been spidered, it means search engines know about you. That means you are in their radar, but may not be yet included in the databases from which they draw their result. So monitor each engine to ensure it lists your page.

Evaluate performance of the pages that has been listed by the search engines.
