Subscribe Feed (RSS)How to Get Your Website Listed Quickly on Major Search Engines
October 23rd, 2006 by Vlad | Filed under Other (Fom Old Blog).
Recently I have read few articles on how to make sure that your website will be listed quickly on the major search engines. There are of course countless articles on the subject and even e-books you can buy. But here I am putting in my few cents.
In the past in order to list my websites I extensively used “submission” form specifically provided for that purpose. The one after you use to submit your website, you receive a thank you note for submitting your site and a statement that indexing takes a long time some times up to several weeks. I also made sure to submit a sitemap via Google Sitemaps as soon as my websites went live.
Most of the articles that I have read discouraged very much from using the form, saying that it is much better for your site to be discovered by the search engines on their own. So I have decided to let them discover one website on their own. For this purpose I have written an article at Ezine Articles as well as using Digg.com and Bluedot.us to share the content from my website. I should mention that I have not created sitemap for Google yet for this website, and now I even hesitant to do so, and this is why.
The above mentioned website went live three days ago and has already two pages indexed on Google. Yahoo and MSN did not list my site yet, nevertheless I was absolutely astonished that Google picked up my site so quickly. While it is possible that the website may disappear from Google’s index tomorrow, it still was the quickest ever that my site was listed by any search engine.
Now I am not sure even if I should submit sitemap to Google, I would not want to spoil the little success that I have achieved so far. I hope that this article may be read by a SEO professional who can set me straight on using Google sitemap and its benefits or disadvantages.
