54 Search Submission Links and Related Resources #growsmartbiz : Free Traffic Tips

This is part three of a series I’m doing to fulfill my promise to the attendees of the Grow Smart Business conference who attended the session I was a panelist on: “Stories, Content, & the Search Engine Sword Over Your Head.”

The following is a list of links I advise beginners to visit once they are thinking of building a site or preparing to submit.

Read Google Webmaster Guidelines

…preferably before you build your site, at least before you submit

Use Google Webmaster Tools

(See also their Quick Start Guide)

Google’s Webmaster Central Help section

Some important sections – Submitting an XML Site Map, News or Mobile Site Map, Creating & Submitting a Video Site Map

Tools for Generating XML Sitemaps for static & dynamic sites & the general information site for XML Sitemaps
Plugins for Generating XML Sitemaps for WordPress blogs

[also mobile, news, image, video for WP blogs]

Use Google Analytics

…to measure your search traffic and track whether it’s converting

Google’s Free Conversion University
Google AdWords (Advertise on Google for a fee), Google AdWords for TV, AdWords Beginner’s Guide, Google’s Seminars for Success (fee based), Google AdWords Small Business Center
Videos I created about using the Google info: search parameter to find out what Google Knows about Your Site
[Google Site Information Page Part One|Google Site Information Page Part Two]
Use Yahoo Site Explorer [Help page|Introduction]

…. to see what pages people are linking to. Neat because you can analyze links to a single page or the whole site.

Submit to Google Local via Google Business Center (now known as Google Places
Google Places Help Section
30 Day Free Google Tags Advertising for Google Places users
Submit to Google Web Search via the regular submit form

(I believe this is the slowest, least thorough method, but it’s better to do this than nothing.)

Submit to Google News, Google News Sitemaps Help, Google News Help
Three Part Series I Wrote on Other Ways to Get Into Google News, and Why You’d Want to Do So

[Part 2 | Part 3]

Submit to Google Blog Search
Submit to Bing

(Yahoo’s search engine results are now pulled from Bing too)

Submit to Bing Local

(Not available in the Chrome Browser)

Submit to Yahoo Directory
Directory of Google’s blogs, Google’s main blog, Google’s Webmaster Central Blog
Directory of Google Twitter accounts
Yahoo’s Search Blog
Bing’s Blog
Bing Webmaster Toolbox (submit XML Sitemaps here)
Google Insights for Search
Google Trends, Google Trends for Websites
Report Spam to Google
File a DCMA Notice if someone reprints your content on the web w/o permission Google | Bing
