Submit your site to Search engines like Google and Bing. techpro365

The first step to getting your site online and to get better rankings in Google is to submit your URL to search engines. An example of an URL is www.blogger.com. Eventually the search engines will find your site but this will help expedite the process.

Once you submit your URL, it could take several days, weeks, or months for the search engines to index your page(s). Results may vary so don’t write this in stone. Factors such as other websites pointing to your site can affect this time as well.

Submitting to Google:

1. Go to the following link: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

2. Type in your URL, example: http://www.yoursite.com

3. Enter comments about your site. This is optional. Usually I enter the genre of the site and a few keywords. Example: Blogger tips and tricks.

4. Enter the captcha text shown in the box

5. Select “Add URL”

Submitting to Bing:

1. Go to the following link: http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx

2. Enter the captcha text shown in the box

3. Type in your URL, example: http://www.yoursite.com

4. Select “Submit URL”

Ask does not have an URL submit feature. Until recently, you could submit your sitemap to them. But Ask.com has now retired this feature and says they will be crawling sites instead. So, the next best thing is to add a directive in your robots.txt file that specifies auto-discovery of the XML sitemap.Like this:SITEMAP: http://www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml. The sitemap location should be the full sitemap URL.

That’s it! Once you complete the above steps, just sit back and be patient. It takes time for the search engines to index your pages. If you submit more than once, some search engines may consider this spamming which could result in not indexing your site at all.
