What is Search Engine and Directory Submission?

Once you have created a website, one of the most traditional SEO techniques is to register your website with search engines and online directories. Registering your website is an effective way of notifying search engines of your online presence. Once your presence is recognised your pages have an increased chance of being indexed.

Search Engine Submission

Obviously some search engines are more important than others. For example; your main priorities would naturally be Google, Yahoo and Bing. Yet it is wise to consider all search engines as any traffic is potentially good traffic.

Directory Submission

Some directories do charge a fee for submission, but there are others which are very effective and do not charge for their service. It is vital to know which directories are reputable and to avoid those which may have a negative impact on your SEO campaign.

Avoiding Useless Directories

Some directories are rendered useless because they themselves lack indexing with the major search engines. Others may have a ‘no follow’ policy which means the link you have provided for visitors is not clickable.
