Where
to Submit My Website to Get Traffic
New Website Indexing and
Search Engine Traffic
A constant question for new
web designers is where to submit a website to get
indexing and develop a traffic system. This
tutorial will hopefully answer some of these
concerns about submitting to search engines. I've
been looking for a good way to make
money on the Internet.
There are lots of ideas out there, but most of them
simply aren't for me. I don't have any ebooks,
products, or services to sell, nor do I want to get
into the eBay game and spend all day shipping out
packages.
Instead, I've decided to try
to set up a passive income stream by setting up a
good site with strategically placed AdSense
advertising blocks and Kontera links. These are two
of the highest paying ad programs around, and I
think I can do pretty well with them. What I have
to do now is submit my website to different search
engines and directories.
Some people might wonder why
this step is necessary. After all, don't Google,
Yahoo, MSN, and the rest automatically scan the
entire web for new sites on daily basis? Well,
that's a legitimate question, but there are still
several good reasons why I should manually submit
my website instead of letting the bots come find
me.
First of all, it can take a
very long time for the major search engines to
discover a new site. That's because there are
millions of them out there, so the work is slow and
painstaking. When I submit my website, I'm letting
them know that they need to come check out my URL
right now, which can pare down the indexing process
by a few weeks.
Why Do I Want to Submit My
Website to Search Engines Manually?
Another reason that I want to
submit my website manually is that there are lots
of other search engines and directories besides the
big three I mentioned above. While it's true that a
majority of my traffic will likely come from
Google, Yahoo, or MSN, I'm selling myself short if
I stop there. I need to make sure my site gets
indexed by Ask, AltaVista, HotBot, AOL, Excite,
Lycos, Blingo, Dogpile, and a whole lot more so
that I'll get a high number of visitors no matter
which search engine they prefer.
Indexing a Web Site in
Directories
I'm also going to submit my
website to a few popular directories, because these
can be another source of quality traffic. These
include DMOZ, Best of the Web, Business.com, Yahoo,
and Aviva. I might have to actually pay for some of
these submissions, but the fees could be offset in
the long run by the amount of traffic I get as a
result of my listing.
Also, if I don't want to
submit my website manually to all these different
places, I can pay a service to do it for me. There
are several companies out there that can handle
these types of submissions on my behalf, leaving me
free to tinker on my site a bit more.
Ranking in
Google
Now, there is more to it than
just submitting to the search engines. As important
as that is, it is also essential to make your
website more apealing to the giants like Google and
Bing. One of the best ways I've done this in the
past is to get one way links back to the site. I
use Blogging Underground and post in their 100s of
blogs. This adds value and can increase your
ranking in a search. You can watch a video to see
how Mike does it here.
I'm pretty excited about
getting this new venture off the ground! I'm going
to submit my website to all these search engines
and directories over the weekend, and once I get
indexed, I can site back and watch the visitors
pour in. I hope they click ads while they're
here!
Other Places for Website
Search Engine Submission
There are countless others
out there doing the same thing you are. Indexing
your URLs is the key to getting your material seen.
You can easily get started doing this when you
visit websites such as www.submitexpress.com
and http://www.google.com/addurl.
