How to submit your site to Google

Cool Site of the Day makes it easy to submit your site to our directory but many website owners end up being frustrated trying to get new sites indexed and discovered in popular search engines like Google. While some sites in particularly thin niches may show up in search results right away simply because they provide any kind of content, other sites can spend months waiting to be found. There is a way to submit site to Google in order to get noticed right away, and using it can be helpful in many situations.

When To Submit Site To Google

Google crawls the internet on a regular basis in search of new content, so many sites that are already listed in Google’s search results may not actually need to be submitted. When you enter your URL into Google’s search bar and see your site listed as a result, it means that Google has crawled your website. Follow up by seeing if your site shows up in the results for your targeted keyword(s) (keywords for which you want to rank in Google). If you can’t find your website, submitting may help you associate your targeted keywords with your site.

How To Submit Your Site

To submit your site to Google, go to the search engine’s “Add URL” interface and enter your site’s top level domain name. There is a second field that will allow you to enter comments, and Google’s directions suggest adding comments or keywords that tell visitors what your site is for. In this section, a small blurb about your site that includes the words you expect searchers to use to find you may help Google figure out what your site is about. This blurb occasionally makes it worth using the submit site to Google interface even once your website is already crawled if you aren’t getting the right kind of search engine traffic yet.

Use Site Directories To Get Found

Search engines are the primary way to get visitors to your website, but using directories (especially Cool Site of the Day‘s Fast Inclusion option) and search engines’ submit pages can help you speed up the process of getting listed. Submitting directly to Google can go a long way toward making your site visible for people doing a Google search, but listing with other directories may still be a useful exercise. (NOTE: at Cool Site of the Day, we use an excellent directory submission service: SubmitEaze )

Links from other directories (pointing to your site) can also drive traffic to your site and give Google another way to find your page. A combination of site directory links anchored to your site’s keywords and the submit site to Google interface can go a long way toward making your site visible when people start looking for content you can provide.
