Improve your search engine rankings

By Alison Cox

Please note: if your site is listed with Google already, then any further attempt in submission would not help expedite listing. If you haven't already tried submitting your site, then the page to submit your site to can be found easily by searching for "Google submit" into Google. Unmistakably their page would be number one on the list but there are other ways to make your site a big favorite for them too.

One good way to get your site indexed quickly by Google is through links from websites that are themselves crawled regularly. Using online directories and there are plenty of them could of course be the best and the most effective way. When your site is tagged with links from high ranking directories you get indexed faster since Google routinely examines these top directories.

It all ultimately depends on the money available and your personal choice as you can opt between free and paid subscription directories. Any business directory which operates with the same kind of interest area as your business is the best bet since Google pays a lot of importance to similarity before 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 fastest ways to get your site noticed by Google. DMOZ would take their time, weeks or months before you get listed. The reason for this is that every site is checked by a category editor personally and your site could be down below in the queue. One vital point to remember when submitting sites to DMOZ is that you must ensure that you read, understand and follow every piece of guideline and instructions to the tee.

There is yet another way to get noticed by Google and that is through submitting articles to article submission sites. Most of the reputed article submission sites permit you to insert a 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.
