How To Submit A Site To Search Engines Like Google, Yahoo & Bing
About getting into Google, Yahoo and Bing….
How Do I Check If My Site Is In Google?
Just type your website address in the Google search box. If Google knows about your site, it will tell you. If your website doesn’t come up as a result, you need to submit your site to Google. Another way to check if a page is in either of the search engines is to lift a piece of unique text from the page, put it in a search “in quotes”. Your page should come up.
Consider also using the info: operator to see if Google knows about your page – e.g. info:www.hobo-web.co.uk or indeed any page from your website site:www.hobo-web.co.uk (Bing too).
How Do You Submit A Site To Search Engines?
You do not need a seo to submit your site to Google. You don’t pay to get into any of the big search engines (and note, in 2012, Bing powers Yahoo results).
As I have said many times in the past, the best way to actually get into Google, and the other top search engines, is for the search engine spider to find your site through a link that is already on another website, which Google already has in it’s index. A link from a blog, forum or other website.
Any link will do as long as Google sees it as a link (nofollow kills a link’s juice BTW).
When it comes to links, think how – relevant the page is you are wanting the link from – to your website. Many seo think relevant links are very important in actual rankings…. for me, it’s actually more important just to get a link from a real website. THIS type of link will help Google trust your site more.
You could of course think about submitting your site to directories like Yahoo or (if you can stand to wait years if you are unlucky) DMOZ or asking other sites in your niche to link to you. (To be fair, I don’t really bother with this in 2012).
UPDATE – In 2012 – you hardly even need a link for Google to find your website. Google (especially) WILL find your domain, and if has unique content on it – it will go into it’s index. I twill probably rank high for a little while too, then drop down the rankings a bit….
But if you are very lazy, you could just tell the search engines about your site. Not that I ever recommend this sort of thing:

My main focus now is to design beautiful and usable CSS website because I understand how important it is for my website to be accessible.
There is no need to submit a site to search engines any more. Just submit your site to several web directories and your site will be crawled by SEs.
This is an automatic procedure now. If you can get a high ranking link bank, ie PR6 your site should be indexed within 24 hours.
Thank you for you help. I must commend the information provided on this website is really very useful that has really helped me create the traffic on my target pages
