Submitting Your Website

Matt Colyer

Now that your site is built properly, it is time to submit it to be indexed. One common approach is the use of automated submission software, which is not a good idea and instead I suggest performing manual submissions. Below are links to the major search engines that you should submit to. It could take anywhere from one to six weeks before you get indexed, but if you trade links with other sites it will speed it up. You can join http://www.linkexchangeit.com to trade links with other webmasters for free.

Altavista

Altavista is now owned by Yahoo and the add URL page is down for now.

The Open Directory Project DMOZ

You will have to find a category thats related to your site to submit. It can take a long time before you get in the DMOZ, but when you do its well wroth the wait.

Fast

Alltheweb is now by Yahoo and the add URL page is down for now.

Google

Google is the most powerful search engine out there because so many other search engine use Googles index like AOL.

MSN

MSN uses Yahoos index, so you might want to skip this and go to Yahoos.

Yahoo

Yahoo now has its own index, but it is an other powerful search engine because like Google they provide there index to other search engines.
