SUBMITTING YOUR WEB PAGES

The best practice (there are exceptions) is to submit each page of your website, individually, to all of the search engines and directories. You may think that submitting each and every page of your website is not necessary since some pages may have, for example, investor information or contact information. But every page that is listed is like an entry in a drawing — the more entries, the more chances you have.

Use a search engine optimization tool (previously discussed) for the submission process, you can submit some of your web pages by hand to specific search engines and automate the rest using web-positioning software such as Submitta.com, the previously mentioned Webpositioning Gold(www.website-promoters.com), or check out one of the many website promotion services available online.

If you want to try submitting your web pages yourself here is a guide:
• Submit your main URL (i.e. http://yourdomainname.com) after you have finished designing your website.

• Submit other important pages in weekly intervals and in very small batches (no more than 10 a day) since search engines are very sensitive to what they consider spamming.

• A large website should submit first its most important and customer-centric web pages, keyword-wise that is, since it is easy for a website with 200 or so pages to hit their page limit (usually 50 or so pages) with search engines.

• Once you have submitted all of your web pages, you need to not only re-submit each time you make substantial changes to a page but also, once every three or so months re-submit the pages following the procedure set out above.

• Pages that are generated “on the fly” usually will not be indexed so don’t submit them.

• If you have pages with frames, don’t submit them since most spiders will not crawl a page with frames (no matter what you might have read to the contrary).

• Test and check to see how your website rates with the search engines after your submission procedure is completed.

• Monitor your website listings regularly. Sometimes your listing can just disappear or some kind of error can cause the link to become bad, etc. When you find something wrong, re-submit that web page.
Pay attention to how your website is listed on a search engine. Does it identify what your website is and the products/services provided?

To assure that your search engine listing provides the proper information needed by the surfing public, use your title tag (e.g. <title>Best Online Widget Store in the Universe </title>). Search engines then use as the descriptive paragraph one of the following, depending on the search engine: either your description tag (<META name=”description” content=”An online store with all the Widgets you would ever want.”>) or the first 250 words (or so) of visible text on your site.
Although it will take a little effort, it is important that you balance these tags.

In other words, sometimes what you need to put in as a title or descriptive tag (to get a high ranking with a particular search engine) will not help you in your quest to have potential customers easily find your page through commonly used keyword searches.
 
There are many online automatic tools which can help you to submit your website to the major search engine and top directories. Submission of website is essential for enhance he online presence of any website. One more important tool is Google webmaster tool where you should submit your website.
