Submission Process - Getting Listed in the Search Engines' Databases
You should always submit your site manually to the top search engines to ensure your listing is submitted properly and promptly.
Rules in manual submission are:
- Read all instructions carefully.
- For most of them, you'll need to only type in your site's url and a contact email address.
- For others, you'll need to search for the most appropriate category and then enter in site title, description, url and contact email address.
Click on the links below for 6 search engine submission or instruction pages:
- AllTheWeb
- Altavista
- AOL Search
- Hotbot
- MSN Search
The following are the auto-submisson tools that are used by this site and are highly recommended:
For all except Altavista it is recommended to submit to the search engines once a month at minimum. Altavista only when the site has been updated.
Submit your index or default page always. It doesn't hurt to submit all your pages. The engines will spider through your links.
Premium paid services simply get your site's submission viewed faster and possibly in the database faster. Other services for fee are sponsorship spots at the top of the page for specific keywords and even advertisement spots. Consider your marketing budget prior to jumping those opportunities.
