Fact – You don’t need to pay to get into search engines.

How To Submit A Site To Google, Bing and Yahoo: Typically, just get a few links to your website, from other sites that are already in these search engines themselves. Search engines find these links and follow them to your site.

We get an awful lot of enquiries from small businesses trying desperately to get into free listings at Google, Yahoo and Bing (MSN) and frankly too many unethical seo companies will charge you an arm and a leg for unnecessary seo consultation or unnecessary edits to a site. Rather than charge small businesses and sme a fortune for two minutes work (we were a start-up at one time, too, you know), we help many small businesses with free advice to get their site into the major search engines, again for free.

Why? In our opinion too many seo agencies and firms take the small business for a complete ride when it comes to search engine optimisation. We want you to hire us on the basis of our experience, not on your ignorance of online marketing. Our seo doesn’t just get you into the search engines, it makes you rank high for competitive keyword phrases that will generate leads and sales. This is what we want you to employ us for.

As we mentioned above, submitting your site to Google isn’t hard. Just get a link from another website. BUT – If you really want to give your site a chance to rank well:

  • Make sure all your title tags are unique
  • Make sure your meta-descriptions are unique
  • Make sure all your pages link to each other
  • Read Google Webmaster Guidelines and make sure you comply but do not use “Google Submit Your Site” to submit your site. Google prefers to find a link to your site on a site it already knows. You should also have a look at Google SEO Guidelines.
  • If you are totally lost, contact us.

All going well in a couple of weeks your website will probably be visible and ranking somewhere in all the search engines, then you can contact us to help you conquer the search engines in your sector. Happy Google-ing!

PS – It can take hours, days or weeks to get into the search engines. To find out if your site is in the search engines just use the site command but replace it with your web address eg: site:www.hobo-web.co.uk

We've recently updated our comments policy and increased the number of comments a visitor has to make to get seo friendly links in comment signatures to reward long term readers and make it a bit harder for dofollow spammers ;) - I told you dofollow spamming wasn't a long term strategy....
