SEO Tips - Submitting Website/Blog to Search Engines

    
If a blog / website has had sufficient content to be visited, then it's time to introduce it to the world by submitting to various search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other portals. Here are some common ways:

1. Submitting Website/Blog to Google Search Engine

You can submit your website to Google here: http://www.google.com/addurl/ .

Next step, we should register to Google Webmaster Tools (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools).
Some argued that by registering into Google Webmaster tools will speed up our website to get indexed in Google search engine. Also in Webmaster Tools, we can monitor the statistics of Website access including keywords.
Here, we need to fill in the Website url and feed. Feed for blogspot is to atom.xml and rss.xml. For example: http://www.shoutwhisper.com/rss.xml  or http://www.shoutwhisper.com/rss.xml

2. Submitting Website/Blog to Yahoo

etc.

5. Submitting Website/Blog to Blog Portal & Social Bookmarking

To increase the number of visitors and site's ranking, we also need to submit articles/posts to blog portals or social bookmarking. Some of them are:

1. Technorati: http://www.technorati.com/

6. Submitting Website/Blog to Any Web Directories

Registering website / blog to various web directories has the main purpose of getting backlink to our website. The more backlinks from other sites to our website will increase the pagerank. Higher pagerank means better position in search engine's result page.

7. Ping after posting new article

Ping is a good way to notify search engines that your blog has been updated, so that the search engines will check back your blog to get the new pages. There are several ping services, one is Ping-o-matic: http://pingomatic.com/
