Step 12 – Submit to Search Engines and Promote the Site
Once your site is live you need to tell the world about it or no one is going to visit it. Having a live site is just a tiny part of having a successful website.
Basically you need to get the search engines to know that you exist and display your site when people type in your main keywords.
This can be done by submitting your site to search engines and getting other sites to link to your site.
Some of the steps involved in promoting your site are:
- Submit your site to search engines like Google, yahoo etc. There are some promotion tools available to help you with this.
- Submit your site to directories like DMoz and others.
- Get other related sites to link to yours.
- Build a sitemap. This is an xml file that can be submitted to search engines to help them to index all the pages on your site. This is an important step.
- Get your site bookmarked on social bookmarking sites and use other Web 2.0 tactics.
- Submit articles to article directories. This is called article marketing.
- Put up paid listings of your site on search engines.
- Explore advertising options.
