If you start your own website how do you get in on all the search engines like GOOGLE and YAHOO etc.?

Warning... some of the other answers are WRONG. Please be careful which you listen to.

To get into the search engines you have two options.

1. Submit your site manually (links below)
2. Obtain links from other sites which gives the search engine crawlers a "path to follow" (preferred)

Some points to consider:

a. the higher authority (quality) the site linking to you the better. Over time, an accumulation of inbound, high quality links is the secret to search engine ranking.

b. your content and website structure directly affect how well you're listed. It's one thing to be on page 1, quite another to be on page 30. Both are "indexed" and you are "in" the search engines, but being on page 30 does you little good.

Most experts recommend that you do "2" above. That is, you get your site indexed through natural links. But if you must submit your site manually, here's the links to do it.

Good luck!

Hi!

If you build it they will come....Not!

Your site needs to provide good quality content and be recognized for that within the search engines. The main way most search engines determine what your website is about is by the words and phrases used on the net where other sites link to yours. This is called the achor text and is the main factor in determining if you website will show up when someone does a search.

You get your achor text links all over the web by:
1. Writing articles and submitting them to article directories (like eZineArticles.com)
2. Finding relevant sites and providing feedback on their articles..
3. And there are a ton more ways, but those will get you started.

HTH and have a great day!

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.

Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or
DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.

A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the "Description" which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one's goods and services.

And the very last category - "Keywords" are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google's spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.

Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query
"sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave
out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net"
is ranked. It's ranked No. 1!
Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google's publication guidelines.

Good luck!

Essential Steps to Help Get your Site Indexed in Google

Google is hands-down the most popular of all search engines and commands the majority of all searches conducted on the Internet. There are many ways to get noticed by Google and have your web pages climb the results pages. Itâ€™s important to remember, though, that your ultimate goal is profit or sales, rather than simply having a busy website. Conversions should be as important as the number of visitors you receive. That is essentially what Google attempts to promote in its algorithms, too, so providing good quality content offers double the advantage.

Linkable Content

Content is a key factor to attracting Google traffic. The more you provide and the greater the quality the better. Providing high quality content means that other sites and users will link to your pages, and this in turn not only drives traffic but each link is viewed as being a vote for the quality of your site and improves your Google ranking.

Regularly Updated Content

Regularly updated content is even better. The more often you add new content, the more often the Google spiders will revisit and re-index your pages. You are also able to target a greater number of keywords, including many long tail keywords, and generate yet more traffic as a result of this. ...........................................

Thanks.

You have to go on to the search enegines and pay them to have your website listed on their search index. It doesn't automatically do it for you.

Overtime it'll automatically get indexed by Google and Yahoo. You just need to update it with content.

A lot of them go by keywords so you would automatically be added, but the more hits you get the higher up the list you go! Unless you are willing to pay for advertised space, that's the bit right at the top of google, I think in an orangey box.
