3 Steps To Getting Listed In The Search Engines

You've just finished putting in all kinds of effort towards getting your website online

. you're ready to take orders and make sales. the only problem is... no one can find your website! you need to get listed in the major search engines in order to get visitors to visit your website. What can you do? Follow these 3 steps and the search engines will know about your site in no time at all.

1. Write an article related to the main topic of your website.

Not sure if you know enough about writing to write an article? don't worry about being perfect. Write about what you know. Keep the article short, between 300-600 words long. when you write the article, give out general information that anyone would gladly post on their site as valuable content. don't try to sell your product or service in this article.

Remember the goal of the article is for you to get a valuable link back to your website, not to make a sale. In fact, if you try to make a sale in the article, most webmasters will not want to publish your article on their site. the whole goal of writing articles is to get your articles on as many websites as possible with a link pointing back to your site.

2. include a resource box at the end of the article with your website link in it.

If you've created a good general information article that is relevant to the topic of your website, you are ready to create your resource box. Keep in mind here to get to the point quickly. it is usually considered fine to promote your product or service in this resource box but it is necessary to keep it short. you should remember that the main point of including this resource box is to get a link going back to your website. The secondary purpose of the resource box is to get readers of your article to click through and visit your website.

When including a link in your resource box, make sure that one of your links includes the main keywords of your home page. Keywords are a fancy term for the phrase or words a visitor will type in to find your website. make the keyword the clickable portion of the link instead of your web address. put this keyword text in between your html anchor link.

3. Submit your article to the major article directories.

Once you've created your article, submit it to the major article directories to get the article distributed on as many websites as possible. Some major article directories include EzineArticles, ArticleCity,ZapContent.com and Isnare. Some services like Isnare will even distribute your article for you for a fee.

Do these three steps and search engines will find, crawl, then list your website in their listings. It's as simple as that!
