Directory Submission

There are three main search engines you have to consider for website submission: Google, Yahoo and Bing. These search giants cover more than 97% of the searches worldwide. Each one offers its own way to add the URL (or the domain) of your website. We will cover each of them further down the article.
Why do you need to submit your website to search engines? Each search engine manages its own database, where all the webpages to be ranked are listed. Different search engines give a different weight to various on-page and off-page parameters that characterize your website. In order to analyze those parameters, search engines use robots (bots) or crawlers. Robots are programs developed by the search engine companies whose main goal is to periodically crawl your website and update the search engine database with the most recent changes. The robots will not visit your website until you submit it to the search engines.

Search engine robot may take days and sometimes months until the robot first visits your website. On the other hand, if you don’t submit your website it will not happen at all.
