Free SEO Webinar: Keyword Forensics from Thomas Petty on Vimeo.

Knowing how to submit URL to a search engine could help in increasing the number of visitors to your Web site through organic search. Let's say you are planning to create the next big thing in Internet content, you cannot do it without having your uniform resource locator (URL) or Web address linked to the biggest search engines in the online community.

Submitting your URL to various search engines like Yahoo!, Google and MSN only takes a few click of the mouse and you're all set. However, this does not guarantee that your site will become instantly popular and will be inundated with visitors. There is a lot more to having an online presence than submitting your address to major search engines.

How to increase visitor traffic

The first thing that a Web master needs to consider in increasing online traffic is the content of the site. Not only should it be relevant, unique and informative; it should also have the proper keyword density or should be search engine optimized.

So now we come to search engine optimization (SEO). This means that the site is search engine friendly or has the right tags, keywords and content that will make it a highly-ranked resource in major search engines. Aside from SEO, another step that a Web site operator can take to improve his search engine ranking is the development of links from well-known and established Web sites. Link development can be achieved through fee-based directory submissions and direct links with related sites.

Submission to major search engines

Submitting your URL to search engines can be for free or on a fee-based basis. The first step is getting your site registered to these search engines. If your site does not have a lot of related or similar tags and content, then free registration is just fine. In cases like this, you just need to optimize your site so that it will have a higher ranking than similar or related URLs.

However, if your site or its keywords are common or have a lot of related sites, then pay-per-click search is an option that you can explore to increase site traffic. This means that for every visitor who will click on your site, you will be charged a certain fee. The main advantage is that you'll be on the top list of sites with similar content. Most sites that are included in paid listings are those that are highly relevant and have chances of having entities willing to advertise at their sites.

Before you submit URL to a search engine, familiarize yourself with the factors that can help your Web address become popular among online visitors. Content, link and keywords are just some of the few considerations that you need to examine before you can establish a solid online presence.

Getting your site indexed is only the BEGINNING. To make money with any product or offer you have online, you need TRAFFIC. Watch this Traffic Secrets 2.0 video which shows you how you can massively increase the levels of traffic to your site at  http://www.trafficsecretstrainingsystem.com

Difference between search engine and directories

Before answering this question we have to know what is the difference between a search engine and directory. Here is a brief explanation.

Main difference between search engine and directory is the way websites get entered into their index. People submit their sites to the directories, which are reviewed by human editors. Think of the directories as collections of Internet sites organized by subject. Search engines work by sending out a spider to fetch as many documents as possible. Following, another program called an indexer, reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document.

Having said that, let's see why you should not submit your site to the Search Engines.

More than 90% of the search engines traffic comes from three major search engines Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

You can see many ads on the Internet which look like this: "submit your site on X00.000 search engines�"

Submitting your site on hundreds of thousands of search engines wouldn't help and is simply not worthwhile. Save your money as you would do when you see ad's like: "loose weight while you sleep".

These three search engines provide results for many other search engines, and if you are listed on these three search engines, your site will be listed on many other search engines as well.


Altavista for example show results from the Yahoo! index. Rankings are not the same, because the algorithm is different but the index is the same. If your site is new and is listed on Yahoo but not on Altavista, be patient and do nothing. Altavista will show your site when they update their index from yahoo. AOL (America On Line) and Netscape use Google index. They additionally receive listings from DMOZ. There are many examples.

The so called "Meta" search engines like DogPile or Metacrawler are showing results from Google and Yahoo amongst. These search engines actually search the top search engines and show combined results.

If your site is not new, there is a chance that search engines spiders already find your site and index it. So before doing anything check if your site is already listed, even if you did not submit your site to any search engine.

But what you should you do if your site is just uploaded?

As we already explain search engines are equipped with spiders which will find on your site. All you need is to submit your site in Directories, and search engines spiders will find your link and your site will be indexed. But be sure to provide enough "food" for the spiders. That is, submit your site in enough directories, and you will make that process shorter.

While submission to the search engines is wasting of your time, submission to the directories is not. You will benefit from submitting your site to Directories, not only because search engines will find your link there and index your site, but you will also increase your link popularity. Search engines consider each link which is pointing to your site as kind of vote and give it a "credit" for each "vote".

That's why you should submit your site to as many directories you can. However, don't expect bulk traffic from the directories. Even the biggest directories like Yahoo! or DMOZ are not able to deliver load of traffics. On the other side, traffic delivered though the directories is usually quality traffic, because these people are browsing to the find products or services that you offer.

Submitting your site more than once to search engines might slow down indexing time. If you still want to submit your site to search engines, do that just once, and do that manually. Companies which advertise that they will submit your site on X00.000 will not do that manually, that is for sure. They use automated submission software, even all major search engines mention in their submission guidelines that you should submit your site manually. And major search engines are what you should care for only. You remember the fact where the over 90% of traffic comes from?

Remember that only submitting your site to the search engines does nothing to increase your ranking in most cases. If web site optimization on your web site is not properly implemented or is not implemented at all chances are small that your site will be on first few pages with results. And having in mind that only about 7% of the people look further then third page, top is the only place you want to be.

How to calculate if the search engine optimization is worth to invest in? Consider this: What is the annual worth of one customer to you?" Is it 25 �, 250 �, or perhaps 2500 �? How many customers you need to get the invested money back?

Optimization of your website might be one of your best investments ever, if is planed and implemented right.
