The Best Way to Get Listed in The Search Engines

Do not fall for those cheap search engine submission services charging a small fee to submit your site to thousands of search engines. They are not worth it and can actually harm your efforts with the major search engines. Best case senario is that they make no difference.

Despit what these services tell you, you do not need to submit your site to Google, MSN, Yahoo! or any of the important search engines. They will add your site to their index when they find you by themselves. The key to getting listed is to make sure they CAN find you by themselves.

How do you make sure the search engines can find your site by themselves? The answer is simple. You need to work on establishing links to your site. Search engines like Google will add your site when they find incoming links to it from other sites already indexed. Although Google has a submission page, your site will not be added until Google sees that other sites are linking to you.
