Get Listed in the Search Engines

Getting free traffic from the search engines is essential. To accomplish this, you need to build a page that is focused around a high demand and low supply keyword.

This page/site can be any of the following:

• Blog
• Website
• Squidoo Lens
• Hub Page
• Twitter
• Article pages
• And others you can think of

Once you do this, you need the search engines to know you have a page up.

You can do this many ways but here are 2:

1. Link to the page from a site that is already listed
2. Submit it to the search engines if it is not already listed (new blog, new website)

Lets talk about submitting the site to the search engines.

First, go to the search engine and do a search for the site. If it is a blog, then search for the blog address (ex. blog.mlmlivesupport.com). If it is a website, then search for the website (ex. mlmlivesupport.com).

Here is how you check. Go to google.com, yahoo.com, or msn.com and type this in the search box:

site:blog.yourdomain.com

or

site:yourdomain.com

Should look like this picture below but with your blog domain or website domain name.



When you do this search, it will list all your pages that are indexed. If your pages show up when you do this search, then your blog is listed.

You do not submit each page, only the main url for the domain.

Do this for all the search engines.

If you are indexed for all of them, then you do not need to submit your site to the search engines. You just need to get some links pointed towards that specific page. Then that page will get listed.

How To Get Your Site Listed In The Search Engines

If your site is not listed yet, you can submit it to the search engines.

Remember, you only submit your main domain name and not individual pages.

Ex. blog.mlmlivesupport.com and not blog.mlmlivesupport.com/how-to-get-traffic.hml

Click here To submit to google
(or search google for submit url to google)

Click here to submit to Yahoo
(or search yahoo for submit url to yahoo)

Click here to submit to MSN
(or search msn for submit url to msn)

Only use a link from the search engine. Ex. http://beta.search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx and not www.submitexpress.com/submit.html

Getting Links To Your Page or Website

Sometimes using the search engine submitter takes a while to work. The other great way to get the search engines to pick up your page or site is by putting links on pages on the internet to it.

You can use free programs to do this very easily.

Matter of fact, I had to do this for some of my pages. I have a squiddo and hub page and it just was not getting picked up. So I linked to it from my blog yesterday, and today it shows up in my google alert report that it is picked up.

For some detailed information and examples of some of the below, see my post on FREE Resources to Build Web Traffic

These are places you can have links point to different pages:

• Website
• Blog
• Squiddoo
• Twitter
• Hub page
• Youtube
• Metacafe

Blogs are a great way to get links picked up by the search engine.

If your squiddoo, twitter, stumble upon or Hub page is already listed in the search engine, you can also create a link from these to the page to get the search engine to pick it up.

Another great way is to create a good video and upload it to youtube and metacafe. Add a link in the description field and the search engines will pick it up.

It is very important to get links anyway, so this is always good to do. The more high quality links to your page or site, the more the search engines will push it to the top.

I hope that you have learned a lot from this. Please leave a comment so I know how you feel about this.
