HOW TO SUBMIT URL TO SEARCH ENGINES

FREE SUBMISSION OF WEBSITE

Every publisher wants his site to appear in internet. So there has been a great demand for cheapest submission services and now there have been a tremendous increase in companies offering free optimization. There are many free and cheaper website submission services that have more benefits. The most important factor to be kept in mind is to know whether they are genuine or not. Here I am having a brief listing of search engines that are genuine and considered to be the top most ones.

GOOGLE

Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. Google is now widely recognized as the world's largest search engine. The Google search engine was started by Sep. 1999 which has now grown to become the largest search engines in the internet. Google uses "crawler or spider" -web robos that automatically index pages which is known as Google Bot. It reads through all your site pages to pick up keywords, then saves and indexes the pages in its catalog cache. Creatingsitemaps is another way to make the crawler visit your website. Google has a an important tool for helping all publishers especially adsense users to daignose their site.

This is known as Webmaster Tool.

You can sign into this using your Google account and and can add your site url. You can easily verify your site ownership by placing a meta tag below the in your blog. And save the changes. After verifying the site ownership you can use many options and see what pages are indexed,what is the crawl rate. Submitting your site to Google is very easy and absolutely free. All you need to do is submit your home page URL to Google and your whole site will be indexed.

OPEN DIRECTORY PROJECT

The Open Directory Project is a web directory of Internet resources. This is mostly recommended by Google. It is maintained by community editors who evaluate sites for inclusion in the directory. They will accept sites only after proper evaluation. This is done to make the directory a place where there is less errors and scams. An editor will review submission on the basis of various factors to determine whether to include it in the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in the exclusion and/or deletion of those and all affiliated sites. This site contains large number of categories and you can select the appropriate category you think that suits your website.
