54 Search Submission Links and Related Resources#growsmartbiz

This is part three of a series I’m doing to fulfill my promise to the attendees of the Grow Smart Business conference whoattended the session I was a panelist on: “ Stories, Content, & the Search Engine Sword Over Your Head.”

The following is a list of links I advise beginners to visit once they are thinking of building a site or preparing to submit.

- Read Google Webmaster Guidelines

...preferably before you build your site, at least before you submit

- Use Google Webmaster Tools

(See also their Quick Start Guide)

- Google's Webmaster Central Help section

Some important sections - Submitting an XML Site Map, News or Mobile Site Map, Creating & Submitting a VideoSite Map

- Tools for Generating XML Sitemaps for static & dynamic sites & the general information site for XML Sitemaps - Plugins for Generating XML Sitemaps for Wordpress blogs

[also mobile, news, image, video for WP blogs]

- Use Google Analytics

...to measure your search traffic and track whether it's converting

- Google's Free Conversion University - Google AdWords (Advertise on Google for a fee), Google AdWords for TV, AdWords Beginner's Guide, Google's Seminars

for Success (fee based), Google AdWords Small Business Center - Videos I created about using the Google info: search parameter to find out what Google Knows about Your Site

[ Google Site Information Page Part One| Google Site Information Page Part Two]- Use Yahoo Site Explorer [ Help page| Introduction]

.... to see what pages people are linking to.  Neat because you can analyze links to a single page or the whole site.

- Submit to Google Local via Google Business Center (now known as Google Places - Google Places Help Section- 30 Day Free Google Tags Advertising for Google Places users- Submit to Google Web Search via the regular submit form

(I believe this is the slowest, least thorough method, but it's better to do this than nothing.)

- Submit to Google News, Google News Sitemaps Help, Google News Help

- Three Part Series I Wrote on Other Ways to Get Into Google News, and Why You'd Want to Do So

[ Part 2 | Part 3]

- Submit to Google Blog Search

- Submit to Bing
