The power of search engines in promoting your website cannot be overstated. However, this is only effective when your website ranks within the top 20-60 positions. If your website does not appear within the first 1-3 pages of search results, it's unlikely to attract traffic from search engines. This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to submit your URL to search engines and improve your website's ranking. Understanding these techniques can also enable you to offer website promotion services.
The first step in improving your website's search engine ranking is to identify 10-20 keywords or phrases that someone might use to search for your website. Next, write a concise description of your business, incorporating the keywords you've identified. This description should cover all the services or products you offer on your website.
Create an entrance web page for your website that includes a welcome message and the description you wrote earlier. This page should also include a link to your website's main URL. Save this page as "index.htm". Use META tags to include your keywords and description in this page.
There are numerous free hosting services available, such as Geocities, Angelfire, Homepad, CJB, and Freeservers. Upload your "index.htm" file to all these free hosting services. However, do not upload this file to the server where your website is actually hosted.
For each page on your website, use your identified keywords in a different order and add 5-10 new keywords related to the current page. Include a description for each page and use META tags to place these keywords and descriptions. Save all files with these changes and re-upload them to your actual web server.
Now, you should have a collection of URLs, including your main domain name, all the pages on your site, and all the free URLs from the hosting services. Submit all these URLs to major search engines one by one. You can use PCSoftWeb to help with this process.
After submitting your URLs, be patient. It can take 15-30 days for your website to be placed in search engines. However, by following these steps, you've significantly increased the chances of your website being found in major search engines. Once your website is properly placed in search engines, you'll notice an increase in traffic. Avoid submitting your URLs repeatedly as this could result in your URL being removed from search engines.
