Submit your site properly the first time - Learn the tips on how submitting should be done. Avoid making the mistakes that so many other webmasters make daily!

How To Get Positioned Higher In Search Engines

There are two parts to search engine placement. Part one is to submit your sites… but submit them properly using all the techniques available to get you rated high for the keywords you select… submitting your URL to search engines is only half the job! If you don't check your search positions and work to improve them, no one will find you - in other words you won't get any traffic.

So part two of your "search engine battle" is to monitor your positioning to see where you place, if your competitors place above you, and if your positioning starts to fall - to catch it and fix the problems right away.

Everything depends on your search position. If your competition places before you, they win, you lose!

 

Step One: Submitting your site "properly"

There are a few different ways you can announce your URL to the different search engines:

• Use a free submission service. These automated submission services allow you to enter your information once and submit it to 50 - 400 search engines with the click of a button.
  

• Go to each search engine individually and manually enter information for your webpage(s).

• Hire a professional submission service to announce your URLs to the appropriate directories and search engines.

• Use search engine submission software that you purchase to submit your URL.

We would not recommend a piece of search engine submission software out there because most of these pieces of software send out one set of keywords, site titles, and description to all the search engines. You will find that your keywords and descriptions get cut off in some search engines, or that certain criteria and rules may not be met so you are not submitted at all with certain engines, you cannot choose the best category or categories available for your listing (choosing the right category can be crucial to your customers finding your site), and this is just for starters.

And the most important reason why you don't want to use these services is because your site will not be positioned high in the search engines as different search engines have different ranking criteria and you have just submitted the same "stuff" to all the search engines (not optimizing your listing with each search engine separately).

By far the best way to announce your URL for free is to go to each individual search engine separately and submit the information for each webpage you have. This allows you to maximize your exposure by completing every field in the submission form to its maximum potential for keywords, descriptions, additions, content, contact information, etc. It also allows you to specifically pick one or multiple categories that would best suit your business, therefore increasing your chances of being seen and attracting visitors to your site.

There are two disadvantages to this approach. The first is that it is very time consuming (it can take you a few days to do it properly). And the second is that there are no professionals available to look over your keywords and titles, verifying that you are using all the most current search engine tricks, and to double check your choices for effectiveness.
