0 Search engine submission simple guidelines

This is not news but it is a relatively simple aspect of SEO which appears to be overlooked by many sites.

- Before you begin to submit your website to search engines, it is best to ensure that your websites are thoroughly designed to a professional quality using the right key words, good graphics and pictures and appropriate, relevant content. Don't submit websites that are incomplete.

- Beware of companies that promise an automatic submission of your website to hundreds of search engines which are most times nothing more than false promises. The best way to submit your website is to do it yourself.

Submissions alone will not guarantee that your site would be immediately listed and the ranking will be at the very top. Because there are thousands of new websites coming up every day and it may take quite some time before they take up your site.

- If you must use Flash, you must also make an HTML version available as well. Block the Flash version from the crawlers with a robots.txt file.

- Remember search engine bot can only crawl the free portions that non-subscribed users can access since it does not log in.
