Submitting Your Business Website

In this article, I would like to review a few suggested

guidelines for submitting your business website to search

engines and directories.

The first thing that I recommend is that you do not submit your

website to any search engine or directory until it is optimized

for keywords and content. Both play an important role in where

your website will be ranked. After all, if you do not have a

high ranking, you might as well not be listed at all. A great

tool for achieving this is through the use the IBP (Internet

Business Promoter) tool. This tool is exceptional for helping

you optimize your website and they do offer a free trial. You

can down load a trial version by pasting the following link into

Make sure that you have plenty of incoming links. You can

achieve this best by submitting articles to websites such as

goarticles.com. Also, submit your website to Directories like

Yahoo and DMOZ.

Content, content, content! Make sure you have plenty of relevant

content, and update it regularly (daily if possible). Search

engines love new content.

Consider a forum or blog. They create inbound links to your

site. Create reciprocal links. Lots of them.... but be sure they

are relevant and don't use link farms!

DO NOT SUBMIT TO GOOGLE. Let them find you through other

established links. If you do the link work, Google will

eventually find you. They like it better that way.

Be patient! Good rankings do not come overnight. Once you

submit, sit back and wait. Do not keep submitting your site, as

many search engines and directories will penalize you for this

as they make look at it as spamming.

Follow the above basic guidelines and it will help you achieve

better ratings.
