Search engines can find your website in two different ways: web spider or submission. A web spider is a software (googlebot for google) that follows all the links from page to page and saves all this information in the search engines database. If you want a spider to find your website there has to be a page somewhere that will link to your website.This can take some time. If you want to speed up the process, you can submit your website to the search engines so they will know that you exist.
I have read some articles that say that submitting your website to google could be a bad thing because google will think that your website is not that good since google didn’t find it by it’s self. From what I have seen so far I don’t think this is the case.
Here’s a list of search engines and directories you should submit your website to :
- Google (http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl)
- Yahoo (http://ca.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/free/request)
- DMOZ (http://www.dmoz.org/)
- Bing (http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx)
