1st Web Hosting Plans

Website Submission

After you have decided on a web hosting service and your website's content is complete, you will want to submit your domain to the search engines. Prior to your website submission, you should ensure your site has been properly optimized. To learn about search engine optimization and for the latest search engine news, I highly recommend visiting Search Engine Watch.

There are many services available that will submit your domain to the search engines and directories. Some offer free submission to the major engines, and others will charge a fee to submit to hundreds or thousands of them for you. You may also manually submit your domain to each of the search engines yourself, however, this would be a very time consuming process.

The most efficient way to submit your domain is through a service called Search Engine Blaster. Search Engine Blaster is a paid service, but it will submit your domain to over 600,000 search engines, directories and classified ads--automatically. This is a truly amazing program that will not only drive plenty of traffic to your site, but will save you a tremendous amount of time and effort. Your subscription also includes tools such as an Automated DoorWay Page Generator, Meta Tag Generator, Popularity Checker and Key Word Density Analyzer.

As an alternative to a paid service, SelfPromotion.com offers free domain submission in addition to providing a lot of useful information and tips. If you decide to use this service and find the website to be helpful, the owner is happy to accept a small "donation", but it's not required. However, by contributing only $10, you'll gain access to a host of additional tools and services not available to free members.
