Getting Listed in Search Engines

If your page or site has inbound links from sites in a search index, then Google or any other search engine, will most likely find you quickly. However, it's peculiar but true: different search engines index different portions of the Web.

To avoid being left out, it makes sense to manually add your URLs to search engines. In early times there might be more of a delay before your sites were found, and it really made sense to make sure you were listed.

Add manually your URL:
1. Yahoo! go to http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
2. Google, go to http://www.google.com/addurl/

Getting listed is, of course, it's only the beginning. One of the goals of core SEO is to get highly ranked and listed in reference to some specific search terms. Achieving this goal requires taking affirmative control of the information that the search index may use to make ranking decisionsand that it will use to understand the quality of your pages.
