Increase You
Traffic With Search Engine Submission
One of the
biggest mistakes people make when it comes to seo is not planning their search
engine submission correctly. It's very important that your site is fit and
healthy before you think of submitting it to the major search engines. The
simple reason for this is that it's much easier to clean your website of any
bad code and error before than it is two try and remove bad pages once they
have been added to the major search engines.publicity agency has some nice tips on this. So think carefully before starting
your search engine submission
Let's start by
looking at a couple of important factors you must check before any form of
search engine submission is done.
Make sure you
website does not contain any broken links and this includes images. A website
frontpage containing broken links could result in some of your pages not being
spidered correctly.
Check website
against one of the many html and CSS validator websites available freely on the
internet. One of the most popular sites on the internet for this job is the
official W3C validation site. This site will check any page on your website and
let you know how many errors your have and some detail about how to fix it.
I strongly
advise you to spend some time lowering your error rate through this site before
proceeding to search engine submission. If you are diligent enough in this task
your may even get to the point where your site is error free and will allow you
to publish the green certified stamp at the bottom of your site stating that
your site is well designed and developed.
There are also
many good quality HTML editor tools available on the internet, which contain
validation check tools already built into the software. Just type validator
check tool or html check tool into Google and you should find plenty to choose
from. Badly written code can play a big part in some search engine spiders
refusing to map your pages.
Now we are ready
to do some search engine submission. There are several ways you can approach
this and i have highlighted some of the most popular ways to submit your
websites to the major search engines.
You could go
down the rout of either free or paid for software packages which are available
in the Internet and these can be used to help take the pain out of the search
engine submission process. They do this by automating the process of search
engine submission and this is done easily once you have completed a few pages
of basic information. There are few drawback with automated tools though.
Some of the
major search engines have started to downgrade this type of search engine
submission and have started to include such things as passwords into their
submission process to stop automated submissions. also you cannot be sure that
the tool has submitted your website pages correctly to all the search engines
and they sometimes contain outdated submission urls that do not work.
So how about
paying for a company to submit your websites through third party website
service. There are no shortage of companies out there willing to supply this
service for you by getting you to enter your url into their site for batch
submission to the search engines. But and this is a big but! You should be very
cautious of using any automated online search engine submission service. One of
the big problems is that you do not get any detailed reporting of which engines
your site was submitted to and which search engines excepted or rejected your
pages.
Once you have
clicked on the free submission the rest is in the lap of the Gods. Also there
more search engine they promise the worse it can be. Some services promise to
submit your site to hundreds if not thousands of search engines and the problem
with this is simple. Their are only 5 major search engines you need to worry about
and the rest are nothing more than copes of the big five giving you little
traffic or FFA free for all lists which do nothing more than collect emails for
spamming purposes. This is not a method of search engine submission I would
recommend.
Maybe the best
and most reliable way of search engine submission is to do it manually
yourself. Submit your site to the top 10-20 search engines and take your time.
This can be time consuming but at least you are in control of every aspect of
the submission process. Search engine submission is a very important step in
your website success so it pays to take a little time and do the job correctly.
You will have full control over the detail submitted, the pages and any
problems that may occur allowing you the fix them quickly.
