Good morning AR,
Here's a little gem I'd like to pass on to you. Or in this case, two gems. Todays website technology is based around search engine presence. If you have it, you have website visitors. Without it, you don't.
Your website may be the next big deal in the industry, but unless people know about it - its useless.
But how do you get on all the search engines? Well, you don't. There are literally thousands of them out there, but the good news is that you only need to focus on a select few - which can syndicate your website out to many others.
HOWEVER: Your first step is to make sure your website is ready. I plan to write an article on this later, to go more in depth. But for now here's your homework:
You've probably heard talk about something called SEO or Search Engine Optimization. In order to be seen by the search engines, you need KEYWORDS. So your first homework assignment (if you haven't hear about keywords) is to learn more about them.
Keywords, are tems your visitors might search in hopes of finding websites that offer information relevant to their search. You can find more about keywords, including some nifty free tools to help you choose them, at www.submit-express.com .
Once you have chosen and added good keywords to your website (you may need to work with your web designer to assist you in adding your new keywords) - its now time to submit your website to the search engines. www.submit-express.com also help with this. It allows you to submit your website to around 20 popular search engines.
But don't stop there, also submit your website to www.addme.com . Its another free submission tool which will syndicate your website out to even more search engines.
Lastly, search Google for ever more free submission services. The process takes a few weeks but you should begins to notice more visitors (provided that you have done your homework and chosen good keywords).
I also recommend re-submitting your websites at least once a year to these free submission sites. Since your website content may change dramatically over the source of a single year - its a good thing to have your websites re-submitted.
Look forward to another article soon about choosing keywords, and more about other SEO tactics which can drive more traffic to your website for FREE.
Happy searching!
