Submit your site to the major search engines

Submitting your site to the major search engines is a must for your online promotion. It is best to submit to the major search engines manually. Now you can do it from one page. Just click on the link, a new window will open, submit your site, return to this page and go to the next link. No more hunting for each search engine.

Some of the major search engines have now started charging for a listing. Some still offer free listings, however there is no guarantee of a listing. It may take one to two days or one to two months or more to get your site listed with the search engines. Most of the search engines will revisit your site, but you will want to resubmit approximately once a month until your site is listed or any time you make a major change to your site to maintain your listings. Remember that the quality of your content is what ultimately will determine your ranking. Include keyword phrases in your text, your alt tags and your meta tags.

Search Engine Tips

  • Know your audience and what they are looking for - develop a list of generic and specific phrases to work with/from
  • Have realistic expectations. You won't get top ranking with generic terms without spending a lot of time and money. Gear towards more targeted phrases.
  • Subscribe to Yahoo's paid submissions $299/year
  • Use paid submissions to the other major search engines - free listings can penalize you with lower rankings
  • Monitor rankings monthly - this would not be a free service if someone else is doing it for you
  • Submission is no guarantee for placement. The site also needs to be optimized for proper placement
  • Search engine positioning is an ongoing commitment of either time or money
