How To Submit Your Website To Google
You need to read this post if you are paying for a ‘website submission service‘ that ‘submits your website to the search engines and directories’, or, if you are paying for a monthly website submission service.
Before I tell you how to easily do this for yourself I want to explain why monthly website submission services are not a good idea!
If you submit your website over and over again to the same search engines and directories you can have yourself listed as a spammer. You may even be reported to your hosting company and have your account put on hold, meaning no more website in the search engines and no more visitors. What a great service you are paying for!
So how do the SEO Consultants submit your website to the search engines and directories? They use dedicated website submission software.
Now, there is nothing wrong with submitting your website using software but here lies the problem, how can you tell good software from bad software? If you only have a faint grasp of search engine optimisation then you probably wouldn’t know where to start and this is the same for some ‘so-called’ SEO experts.
I’ve used and tested way too many SEO software packages and the only desktop application I would ever recommend is Web CEO.
Download Web CEO (it’s free) and submit your website yourself and follow the instructions given. Here is my recommendation: only submit your website and blog to the suggested directories (not search engines). To put it simply, Google’s algorithms are sophisticated enough to find your website without you ever having to submit your URL and the same goes for the other major search engines.
You can boost the ‘findability’ of your site by getting links from authority websites to point back to your website (such as article directories, EzineArticles, GoArticles, etc) – sidenote: join our newsletter to learn more about article marketing in day 1 of the Website Promotion Success seven day mini-course!
You can learn a lot from playing around with your website within Web CEO but please do not use it as a substitute for hiring a SEO Consultant, I’m just alerting you to the fact that you do not need to be paying for a monthly submission service. A reputable SEO Company may recommend you take out a monthly package but this will be for on-going on-site SEO and off-site SEO (inbound link building) and NOT for monthly submissions.
Web CEO has many other features that will walk you through how to optimise your website. I recommend you download the free version of Web CEO and give it a try. You can monitor your website from within the dashboard area and you will gain a free trial to a lot of extra features (at your request). The one thing that I really think Web CEO is great for and that is finding, otherwise, undiscovered website / blog directories.
To your success,
