Submitting Your Website To The Search Engines

If you've ever looked up your website on Google, Bing, Yahoo!, or any other major search engine and found that it's not listed, you're not alone. However, this is a major problem if you want people to find your website. 

Search engines use crawlers to find pages on the internet for all sorts of reasons - Like finding articles about current events, recent news stories or even just old-fashioned looking up of information. But they also periodically crawl (look through) the web for new pages to add into their index so that they can show them in their search results pages. 

SEO (search engine optimization) techniques are only effective when you submit your website to the search engines and let them review it for a period of time. 

Once they've found that your site is worth displaying, it shows up in their search results - Which makes sense if you think about it. 

If you don't submit a site to the search engines, it will never be found by their crawlers and your website won't appear to be an option for users of their websites to find in their search results on their sites. That means that you're missing out on a pretty significant amount of traffic. 

SEO is the art of writing web content that will naturally attract search engine visitors. It takes a little know-how and work to get your site to appear in search results with the user-friendly keywords you provide, but once you figure it out, your site will attract people intent upon finding what they're looking for.

The following are some guidelines that will help improve your website's ranking in the search engines: 

Most websites have their own SEO specialists that will be able to properly write content and submit their site to the search engines - But not everyone can afford it.

So if you want to take care of this one yourself, here are some guidelines you can follow: 

Follow these SEO guidelines and let the search engines know that your website exists. If you do it right, there's a very good chance they'll find it and display it in their results. 

If you don't do it right (and there's nothing preventing you from doing so - It's rather simple), they won't find your website and your work will be for nothing. 

As long as you do everything necessary to make sure that the search engines are able to easily read through the content of your site and crawl (search through) all of its pages, everything will work out just fine.

Submitting your website to the search engines is a serious and valuable service. It also takes a bit of time, but that's only true if you want to get a free list of other websites visitors use as search results. So there really is a limited amount of time you can spend on it for this purpose. Once you've submitted your site, it's worth spending an additional hour or two just checking back in to see how things are likely going to go. The SEO experts that make their living from submitting sites to the search engines often have to constantly monitor what the search engine spiders are looking at and how they're handling them.

Conclusion It is no surprise that Google was the choice for many when researching products and services online, but you shouldn't take your success for granted. Other search engines do exist, and you can expect to see your site appear on them at some point as well. With this in mind, it's important to make sure that every page of your website is written with search engines in mind - To improve your chances at being indexed by them in the future.
