The Old School Method of Getting a Visit from a Search Engine Robot

Method Three – Get Spidered by Submitting Your Site Manually

This is fairly straightforward. You cut and paste the link to your site into a form. It’s the easiest way, there’s no file to build and no link to get, but it’s also the slowest. Search engines don’t call your house and tell you the status of your submission either.

Here are the pages where you’ll find basic submission instructions or information.

For Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/
For Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
For MSN: http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx

You need only submit your html sitemap page or your home page – as long as the rest of your site is linked from the page you choose, there’s no need to submit more than one page per site.

We’ll talk about how to tell if you have been spidered, and the difference between being indexed, and being ranked, in the next article in this series. That’s most likely to happen tomorrow (search engine day) or next week (the next Google Tuesdays).

Submitting to lots of directories and submitting to lots of search engines are two completely different conversations - as a person who runs a directory submission service, I'm sure you see the distinction. We're talking about search engine submissions. I hope that people who need more links submit to directories, whether they use the tools at your site or do the job themselves.
