Search Engine Submissions

Once your keywords have been decided upon and your site has been made as easily "crawlable" to the search engines as possible, it's time to start submitting it to the search engines and directories. I promote your web site to all the top search engines and directories that still accept free submissions. In the case of certain directories such as LookSmart (Zeal), a free submission can be made if the website is non-commercial or has a free resource attached to it. I then also submit your site to country-specific and topic-specific locations around the world.

All the major search engine and directory submissions are made BY HAND. This ensures that your site is added properly. A detailed report of where you were submitted is then sent to you.

Results are not typically quick. It can take anywhere from six to eight weeks for most free search engines to add your site to their listings. A lot of research goes into finding the right places to get your site linked in to. And Google usually places new sites into a kind of holding area until they age a bit, making it virtually impossible to place for any important keywords for anywhere from 9 to 12 months! (Yes, I can see you cringing. I feel your pain!)

Effort should be made to find links and add content during that waiting period so that when it's up, Google will be happy to place you highly for the keyword phrases your site is focused upon. For more available options to continue your website promotion, visit my pricing page for details.
