Web site Submission
Is your site ready? While a web site is always a
work in progress and never completely "done,"
you should wait until all your present pages are finished
and make sure there are no dead links before submitting.
If your website is ready to submit to
the search engines you basically have 3 options.
-
You can hand
submit all your pages to the search engines.
-
You can hire an online submission
service.
-
You can buy software such as Web Position Gold to
submit the site and keep track of it for you.
This Award winning software suite
that includes powerful tools to help you submit your
pages to the search engines with ease and create
detailed reports on the positioning of your pages.
Should I hand submit
my website or buy web submission software?
The big problem with all submission
software is that they don't tell you the polices of each
search engine such as how many pages you can submit and how
often. These policies change often and if you do not
follow each engines rules you run the risk of being
banned. While some of do a good job of keeping
up with submission rule changes, you are the one that
suffers if your website is banned.
Some search engines even ban web sites
submitted with certain submission software because the
software is often used as a tool for spamming. One
software that seems to have found a way around this is Site Build It.
It simulates hand submission and checks to see if your site
has been spidered without being flagged as a spam tool. Site Build It
is more than just a submission software.
This is what Ken Evoy of SiteSell says
about it. Now it is quick and easy anyone
(from savvy pro to complete newbie) to build a
professional, popular, and profitable
Web site... a site that attracts warm, willing-to-buy
visitors.
Site Build It!
takes care of all the technology and complexity of building
and marketing your Web site... from brainstorming to domain
name to hosting, from graphic design to Search Engine
submission and optimization, from traffic analysis to e-zine
publishing.
According to Sitesell a
recent survey by Audette Media showed that over 80% of web
professionals submit their web sites directly by hand.
Even if you plan to use a submission
software or an online service there is good reason to hand
submit your first site. It is helpful if you learn
the process so you know what is going on. After that
you just have to weigh the negatives of the other two
methods against the time they can save you.

There are some advantages to online
submission services. The biggest being that many of
them have become experts at what they do.
If you are new and plan to do your own
submission you can benefit from starting with a good
submission service just to observe what they do and learn
from it. This can give you two benefits. You
end up with a web site optimized and submitted correctly
and you learn from the very best through observation.
Here is what a good submission service
should do.
-
Determine your exact needs by reviewing
your site, your business, and your competition.
-
Research and select the most effective
keywords for your site to bring in targeted
traffic. This should be fully supported by
extensive research on which phrases and words are going
to generate the greatest number of hits for your site
giving you a long-term strategy.
-
Help with optimizing your site,
creating pages that get you top positions in the search
engines. A good submission service know what each
search engine wants.
There are hundreds if not thousands of these
services. I highly recommend 1stsearchranking.
One thing to keep in mind is that most of
these services simply use web site submission software such as Web
Position Gold.
Web
Position Gold is
the industry leading search engine optimization software.
It combines all of the following features designed to
launch your Web site to the top of the search engine
results as it...

the search engine rankings.

A good strategy is to use a service such as 1stsearchranking
to see what they do, then buy the Web Submission and
Positioning software yourself. Many of them got
started this way and you can do the same. In fact Web
Position Gold will even make reports in your name that you
can show your customers.
