I have been asked couple of times where to submit the website to, and get listed soon on google, MSN, Yahoo .etc.
First of all I can not guarantee you that your site is going to be listed after 24hours or 48 hours, it all depends on the Search Engine.
But when ever I did these steps I was listed on yahoo and google after 24 hours if that encourages you, and I do have lots of websites I submitted to since I help people building their money empire online.
First you want to visit is Submit Express they are very good for listing on all major search engines.
Then go to individual sites I would recommend right after
Submit url to Msn - remember you can’t submit yourblogname.blogurl.com they only except root domain names.
Submit url to Yahoo – Got to be logged in and have account, if you don’t have account with yahoo let me know ill register it for you
Please if you are already listed in any of the above Search Engines I would NOT recommend submitting your site again, unless its been more then a 2 month’s since you last submitted.
Thank you for reading ( Where to submit your website url – Search Engine )

Hiya, great info..
I have stumbled your article!
Ditto!

Website submissions to SEs is really pointless. If you don’t have enough links to your site the bot won’t index the entire site – if you have enough links the bot will have already found an indexed your site.
I can not agree with you on that 1 because 3 months ago this site had 0 links and had only 3 posts after google and yahoo index it
the thing is u can not forget to submit the mapsite, and robot.txt has to be placed if you want to be indexed at least 1-2 a week .
If you have no links to a site index may get cached with a bot visit – but just like an orphaned page – it will disappear. Links to a site determines importance, take Google as an example – if a page doesn’t have the link juice it will enter the supplimental index, and that is with full intersite linking. Take away the link and the page will be gone. It works the same for domains. In the big scheme of things you domain is a webpage or the entire web, it needs links to survive. Create a page without a single link to it but place it in the sitemap you submit to Google, it will get read, maybe indexed but wont stay long if it does – build links and save your money by not using SE submission tools.
I appreciate that, but why would wouldn’t I submit my site to search engines ? The SE submission tools I use are free and legit.
I can not know how many links I have yet, because google updates it quarterly , so ill have to wait till the links show up on webmasters tools.
Do you have any other suggestions from the SEO stand point.
Well, Google seems to never be honest or up to date about the links you have coming in (web tools or regular link: command) Yahoo linkdomain: command is updated as they find the links and is a much better way to determine this. Doing the site: command in Google will display of course your indexed, potentially cached pages and display if pages are in the supplimental index. Another thing you want to do is ensure the SEs see your site as a single domain – you don’t want your site in two versions, the www and non-www. There is simple code you can place in your htaccess (for Apache servers) which will fix this, also you want to add the code to the same file which will show the SEs that your domain.com and domain.com/index.php are in fact the same page and not duplicates. Google webmaster tools allows you to specify the www or non-www version but that doesn’t take care of the rest of the SEs. The code to enter;
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bontb\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bontb.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
Add this ^^^ one first and ensure it works properly then add the below code to solve the / index.php issue.
# index.php to /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
This will go a long way in consolidating all the link juice you have coming into your site.
Thanks appreciate that ,will all in seo plugin do ?
I do not know how any plug in could resolve both issues above – remember, you want 301 redirects. To see the result of what I mean go to navycs.com and remove the www and you will see it resolve back to the www, add navycs.com/index.html and you will see it go to the /. Matt Cutts of Google discussed this very issue in his blog http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/canonicalization-update/
The file to edit is your (dot)htaccess, if you don’t have one (Apache severs only) I suggest you make one – very powerfull file.
