hello guys, i am new here... I was reading.. and there is something i did not understand... what do you guys means by submit your site to google or to yahoo ??? may u explain please ??? and if there is a way.. please tell me step by step.. am new here.. thanks, regards.
you need to submit your site so that google and yahoo will find it in search results, heres a link to submit to google http://www.google.com.au/addurl/ and yahoo http://au.docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest.html
Submit site to SE means - add your site to its results. For example - google.com/addurl/ - to submit site to google. You dont have to do that if you link to your site - crawler will do rest on his own
You do not need to submit your site. What you need to do is get people to link to your site or go out and start getting your own links by posting quality comments, social bookmarking, etc. The search engines will find those links and then crawl your site. To submit to a search engine is a waste of time. It will not make any difference. As soon as you start getting links they will find you.
I agree with internetmarketing, the best thing you do is to promote your site. Doing link building strategies is a great help.
Search engines used to have limited capacities earlier and relied on people submitting their sites to them (remember they used to be directories earlier). Nowadays, they are quick enough to pick up sites when they see many links to a site. You don't need to submit to the big ones, you might still want to submit to small regional search engines.
Submitting To Google One of the most important crawler-based search engines is Google, because many people search there, plus it "powers" the main results of several other services (see the Search Engine Results Chart for an explanation of what "main" results are). The absolute best way to get listed with Google is to get links to your Web site from other sites. Indeed, this is the best way to get listed for free with all the major crawlers listed on this page. Crawlers follow links, so if you have good links pointing at your Web site, the crawlers are more likely to find and include your pages in their databases. Here's the good news: if you submitted your site to the major directories and got listed with one of them, then Google and other crawlers will almost certainly pick up the URL that was listed. This means you may not need to do additional work to get listed with crawlers. Nevertheless, you may find it helpful to do some link building beyond the directories. Basic tips on building good links are covered on the Search Engine Placement Tips page. The Link Analysis & Link Building page available to Search Engine Watch members provides in-depth advice on building relevant links to your Web site. Consider reading what's covered on one or both of these pages. The Submitting & Encouraging Crawlers page available to Search Engine Watch members also has advice on how your site architecture can be improved to naturally allow more of your pages to be added by crawlers. Aside from link building, Google provides an Add URL page that lets you submit a URL directly to its crawler. However, there's no guarantee that Google will actually include a URL submitted to it this way. Despite this, it makes sense to submit your home page and perhaps one or two other URLs from "inside" your Web site via the Add URL page. In addition to the ADD URL page, Google offers other options to submit a large list of URLs (a sitemap file) and verify ownership of your site within Google Webmaster Central for faster indexing, free of charge. Submitting To Yahoo Yahoo is an important crawler-based search engine because many people use the Yahoo search function, which provides the main results of several other services (see the Search Engine Results Chart for more about this). As with Google, building links is the best way to get listed for free in Yahoo. Yahoo also offers a free URL submission form that you'll find listed on this page. Submit according to the same instructions as given for Google, above. What if you aren't picked up for free? Yahoo has paid inclusion programs that guarantee to add the pages you submit quickly. The downside to these programs is that you'll be charged every time someone clicks on your listing. If you run out of money, potentially, your listing may be dropped. However, there's still a chance that even if you run out of money, you might continue to be listed for free. Confused? You're to be forgiven, if so. The programs are so complex that we do not recommend beginners bother with them. Instead, there's a good chance that many pages in your site will just naturally get listed for free. By the way, Yahoo's crawler incorporates technology from three different crawlers that it purchased in 2002 and 2003: Inktomi, AltaVista and FAST's AllTheWeb. However, any references you hear about those crawlers are superceded by the single Yahoo crawler.
