The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines – Yahoo!, MSN, & Google. If your site cannot be found by search engines or your content cannot be put into their databases, you miss out on the incredible opportunities available to websites provided via search – people who want what you have visiting your site.

You need to be careful when submitting your website to the major search engines. Never allow a URL submission service that promised you by submitting your site to thousands and thousands of search engines, simply because these search engines do not exist. There are around 500 search engines, and only about 200 are credible and actually receive traffic. The most efficient method to use when submitting your website for inclusion is to do it yourself or to hire an expert to do it manually.

Before you begin to submit your website, make sure that your web pages are properly designed using quality keywords. You should not submit websites that are not fully complete. A simple submission to each search engine does not guarantee that your site would be immediately listed or that the ranking will be high. One important factor to remember is to include a site map which makes the crawling simple for the web robots.

Websites are required to be submitted once. Once your site is indexed by a particular search engine resubmission is not necessary as it will not help you in any way. If you submitted more than one time, it can sometimes be conceived by the search engines as spamming. Resubmission is required only if site is edited like addition of new web pages, addition or modification in the existing pages or alteration of the meta tags of any page within your website.

If your website is not indexed within a few weeks after making the submission, there is usually a reason for this. It could be as simple as a “no follow” robots tag within the source code of your web page or not enough content on the web page. To ensure the search engines will index your website you will need to create web pages that contain relevant, quality content with 400 or more words on each page. This should be content which contains the main theme of your website. There other many other factors which could cause a website not to be indexed, such as broken links, duplicate content or repetitive submissions.
