Get Your Website Indexed with Google FAST for Optimum Exposure

Every webmaster or business person wanting to expand on their internet marketing ventures is well aware that being recognized is the key to getting the business response they need to be successful. Knowing how to get the exposure you need can be as elusive as the holy grail. There really is a simple and direct way to get indexed into the major search engines quickly.

The major search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo, and AskJeeves, all offer direct submission to their search directories, but I wouldn’t advise using them. For example, Google has a page where you can simply submit your webpage address for indexing, yet they tend to place your request in a holding position, sometimes for months, while you are waiting for their posting of your website. Sure, This is a free service but do you really have the time to wait while business is passing you by? You could pay for search engine submissions but if you can do it for free, why would you opt for that cost needlessly?

There are some very simple and much faster means of getting your site indexed with the big boy search engines that you will find much more satisfying and a lot less stressful as far as playing the waiting game. Just follow some very easy steps that will get your site indexed pronto:

1. Do not submit directly to the search engines. I repeat do not do this, unless you want to wait and wait and wait.

2. Type into your favorite search engine free search engine directory lists , then look for directories that have at least a PR3 rating. The PR3 is the rating that is currently assigned to a webpage that is considered active and receives a fair amount of traffic.

3. Submit your website or webpages into the proper categories, you want your website to be among similar topics to gain more direct traffic seekers once you are indexed.

4. Use a text link containing keywords or phrase rather than just your URL to better describe your website. This will further assist the search engines by indexing your site in the best location.

Now was that too difficult? The basis for this approach of indexing your site is simple. You want the search engine spiders to crawl directories that they frequent often for new content and find your new submission and grab your site as their own. By using this method you will be indexed much faster and you can benefit in more ways than merely submitting directly to a search engine.

Some other means of getting your website indexed quickly is to write articles relevant to your site’s content and include the http links within the articles. The search engines love article content and if your site is discussed, it’s relevant to their interest in including your site’s link. I highly recommend Goarticles.com and EzineArticles.com.

Long before you submit your website to the directories though, it’s vitally important that you make sure your site is optimized with the proper meta tags. Meta tags can greatly improve your indexed position on the search engines. One key point with meta tags is to use keywords within the title tag and the description tag, to incorporate a focused keyword rich content for the search engines to pick up on. This will move your website much closer to the top and thus you’ll receive more search engine traffic by using meta tags correctly.

Having an attractive website is important, but if no one can find it, what good will it do to have it? More time is spent on design and creative content of a web page than is usually done with the html or css style sheets that make a page, search engine literate. There are many sites available to assist you with meta tags, so do your homework before submitting to the search engines.
