Submitting website to search engines                 Contact us                       Home

Search engines are a major source of traffic and visitors for most websites on the internet. Since this is free traffic for your website , once you submit your website, you will not have to put in any additional effort.  To submit to search engine, you will have to enter the URL of the website and also comments or keywords  . The search engines do not guarantee any time or position in their search engine rankings

Google, Yahoo and MSN search are largest search engines in most countries.

To submit to Google  , use the following URL

http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
 

To submit to Yahoo,

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

 

For submitting to MSN search

http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx?FORM=WSDD2


It  is better to manually submit websites to search engines, since some search engines do not allow automatic submission of websites.  Using automatic search engine tools could also adversely affect the ranking of the website.  You can confirm that your website is submitted to search engines, by checking your website logs.  If  the website has been submitted successfully, the web crawler associated with the particular search engine (Googlebot for Google, Slurp for Yahoo, MSNbot for MSN search)  will appear in the website logs. You should also upload robots.txt and favicon.ico to your websites, since most web crawlers check robots.txt

 

You can improve your ranking in Google and ensure that your website is crawled completely by including a Google Sitemap for  your website. The sitemap account is associated with your Gmail account. You have to add your website to the Sitemaps account and then have to verify your site ownership by uploading a zero byte file to your server or adding a meta tag to the index file.  You can then create a sitemap for your website by modified the sample config file. The sitemap.xml file is generated by running the Python script on your server. Except for the first 3-4 line, all other inputs are optional. You can then submit it  to your sitemaps account. Even without submitting a sitemap, you will get information about the top search terms for your website and errors while crawling your website.
