Improve your search engine rankings

By Alison Cox

Warning: Once listed with Google means any resubmission would not expedite your listing. If you are trying to locate the page where you have to submit your site, simply search 'Google submit' in Google. It is understandable that their page would rank on top of the list but you could attempt several other ways for them to decide on your site.

Google can index your site fast if you have links with other sites which have heavy traffic. Using the several online directories would however be the simplest and most effective way to go. Google tends to check the higher ranking directories fairly regularly and new links from those sites are likely to get indexed.

The choice is between free and paid subscription directories and you have to pick your choice depending on the money available. Business directories which also have similar interest areas as yours are good since Google is always keen to find links between the two, when indexing your site. The area of operation between your site and the business directory ought to be common.

The sure shot way to get top rankings with Google is to get listed with DMOZ, sometimes called an Open Directory. This is however not the instantaneous way to get Google notice your website. DMOZ might take weeks or months to enlist you. This is because a category editor personally evaluates every site that is submitted and it all matters where in the line your site is located. One piece of advice, if you do plan to submit to DMOZ make sure you read the submission guidelines carefully and comply fully with what they ask.

Another good way to get Google to index your site is through writing articles and submitting them to the article submission sites. Mostly all important and successful article sites would allow the author to add a small resource box called 'About the Author' or 'Author Resource'. This is the place where you insert the link to your site.

If the articles are good, then your articles could also be chosen by other sites for inclusion and this is another advantage of writing articles. It is mandatory for them to use the resource box so that you can access a free link to your site. This is yet another chance for Google indexing your site and if the topic of the article is in line with your business then chances are that you would get increased visitors to your site as well. To sum it up, while you have the option of direct submission to Google, you could also try directories or article writing, which could bring quicker results.
