I've launched a lot of new websites over the years and I've experimented with many different methods of getting websites indexed. Here are my top five indexing tips...
1) Submit your website URL to Google
This is a bit of a no-brainer but it really has to be first in this list. Google can’t index your website if it doesn’t know about it, so submitting your homepage URL is definitely the best place to start. This may not be the quickest indexing method but it’s a safe and sure one to start you off.Of course Google makes no guarantees that it will index every URL that is added but don’t let this stop you. Just make sure you only add one URL per domain (normally your homepage) otherwise it could be considered spam. Google’s crawlers will find all the other pages in your website by following internal links.
- Here’s the link to submit your URL to Google:
www.google.com/addurl
- Yahoo also has a similar ‘Add URL’ function:
search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
- And so does Microsoft Live:
search.live.com/docs/submit.aspx
