    hi,

    I suggest to first live ur domain/website on server afterwards start the SEO activity.[i.e. on site optimization and off site optimization]

    I believe it's more reasonable that way: first you complete construction, then you go on to what you can do to make your site as visible as possible. The other way round doesn't make sense to me.

    P.S. Sorry, buddy, it's up to you to decide which suggestion is good for you. All we can do is share our humble opinions :)

    Regards

    I´m in the same chair as you are. And then i just think like if you try getting visitors to a site that doesn´t have the proper functions or content they will probably get annoyed and go to another site, in which way you don´t benefit for it. So complete site, do some user testing to search for bugs, check google webmaster if theres any errors. then start promooting

    You should have a somewhat complete website for your start promotion. It may be tough to get many links when a website is under construction anyway. If you get rankings before your website is complete, you might lose those rankings at least temporarily when you finish your website. This is because a website has drastic changes, Google needs time to re-evaluate the site before giving them rankings back.

    You don't actually have to submit your website to Google or othe rmajor search engines. They will find your website on their own if you have other quality backlinks. You might want to still submit a sitemap to Google & Yahoo though.

    Yes!!!!!

    As soon as you complete the first page of your site, you should submit it to the SEs for indexing. You can use any of these methods http://www.catanich.com/search-engine-submission.asp.

    The reason is very simple. "Google sandbox". There is a clock that Google applies to every new site called the sandbox. This is where the new site is not given credit for it's full worth. There are many reasons G does this and won't go into it here. (See the forum's topic on this)

    But the sooner the new site is indexed for the first time, the sooner the sandbox clock starts. If the six month figure is correct, it is the remaining design time - six month that you will have to wait instead of the full six months.

    To wait until the site is completed, is what G recommends but in reality, it's stupid. You need orginal content on the home page and one inbound link to start up a site. Everything else is editing or additions.

    If you used copied content or non orginal content, you will be gray barred until you fix the duplicate content. Then the clock starts up again.

    Do not submit your site! Build backlinks and you'll get your site indexed quicker and more efficiently.
    Do not allow google or any other search engine to index your content until you have the basics ready, if by any chance your site gets indexed before your site is ready it will than take some time before the search engines update and re cache your html with the proper content and you might be loosing valuable traffic.

    Well, I suggest you complete your site first before you begin optimizing it! Before you release a site, there must be no broken links or so whatever error. A site not only ranks thru off-page, on-page stuffs are also relevant. :)

    Hi

    This is a silly question,you do seo to let people know about your site and product or services you have on.If your site does not contain any thing then whats the reason doing the submissions.You can better wait till your site is online and then start.

    I'm am in agreement with those here that say do NOT submit your site until it's relatively complete.

    You don't want Google indexing a crappy under construction page. They will frequently show new sites on page 1 for a week or two for relevant searches... I would want a fairly polished site when this happens in hopes that you might get some good visitors and maybe even pickup a back link or two during this honeymoon period as a result of showing up on page 1. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

    And as far as sandboxing goes, I disagree. EVERY site does not get sandboxed for 6 months or whatever. It might 'appear' that some sites do as a result of the way their algorithm works, but Google does not automatically say, "Hmmm new site... don't show him in the SERPs for 6 months even if they deserve to be shown." It's more a result of your site not having any backlinks and getting crawled very infrequently initially that creates the illusion of being sandboxed. It takes several iterations of crawling your site for Google to even calculate a usable PR for your URLs.

    Build your site... When you're ready for the 'grand opening' then get some backlinks and/or submit your sitemap.xml. Continue working on content... continue getting backlinks preferably from relevant sites... hopefully with relevant link text.

    A lot of search engines and directories want you to finish your website before you submit it.

    And also from a visitor's view it's better. After all, you'd return to a finished website faster, than to a website that said 'under construction', the first time you visited it.

    True, but you can get an under construction type "coming soon" splash page indexed by placing a backlink to it on another site's page that is already indexed.

    Regardless, of how you get Google to crawl your site, you shouldn't do it until your site is ready IMO.

    my answer is big NO

    Please note if you see google says design and optimize your website for visitors and not for google rankings (PR or SERP)

    Now you are asking that should you submit it even before designing it , Please avoid it or google wont like it and you are negating your credit straight away from first phase

    Don't submit your site to the search engines. It will take months to get indexed. Instead get links form social bookmarking sites and dofollow blogs.

    Absulately NO!!
    Finish your site very very completely before indexed by Google.

    This is the reason, if google find an underconstruction in your homepage site then g wont visit your site again.
    But when your site is complete and finish, you can make google indexing your site in 1 day.
