This is your way of kindly inviting the search engine spiders over for a visit. If you don’t invite them they may never stop by. After all, that would be rude.

There are several routes you can take for successful URL submission, but it won’t really do you any good if your website isn’t search engine friendly. Before you submit a website, you need to make sure your site follows the best search engine optimization (SEO) practices so it will be more likely to be indexed and will rank higher. The following are some questions you may want to ask yourself before website submission:

1. Are there clear page themes throughout your site?
2. Did you include enough original content on each page?
3. Are there searched keyword phrases included in your titles and content?
4. Is your link structure easily navigated?

Google is a search engine everybody wants to be found on. One way of submitting your URL to Google is by visiting the Add Your URL to Google page. Here you can follow the directions and submit. You only need to submit your top level page (homepage). Once the Google spiders have visited your homepage, they will be able to find your interior pages. Google makes it clear; however, that just because you submit a URL doesn’t mean that it will get indexed. Furthermore, Google cannot predict, even if the page does get indexed, when it will appear in the results.

Aside from going strictly to Google, there are other website services out there that will submit your URL for you. These sites not only submit your URLs to the top search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing but many others as well.

Note: You don’t need to resubmit your URL if you’re already in Google, and resubmitting on a regular basis won’t improve your rankings.

There is no clear-cut way to tell if and when a search engine will index your site. The best approach you can take is to really focus on your SEO before submitting.
