Get your Site Indexed by Google

By Mark Hall


Attention: If you are already listed with Google then if you offer once again, you site would not get listed quicker. If you are trying to locate the page where you have to submit your site, simply search 'Google submit' in Google.

The most proven way to get good Google ranks is to enlist in DMOZ, which people also call an Open Directory. This is not the way in which you can accelerate the speed which Google takes to notice you. DMOZ would take their time, weeks or months before you get listed. This is due to the fact that every submitted site is overseen by a category editor with personal supervision, and you never know how far you are in the queue. One critical advice, is before submitting your site to DMOZ, remember to go by their guidelines strictly and comply with every instruction provided.

Another good way to get Google to index your site is through writing articles and submitting them to the article submission sites. Most of the reputed article submission sites permit you to insert a box called 'About the Author' or 'Author Resource'. It is at this place that every author leaves the link to his site.

That is another opportunity to get noticed by Google and if your articles are in line with your line of business, you would get increased amount of site traffic.
