First I will talk briefly about what not to do.

1. Do not submit to 1000’s of search engines. There are only 3 that count, Google, Yahoo and MSN. All other search engines get their information from the mentioned search engines.
2. Do not continually submit to them. It’s not necessary. Once you are in you are in. It won’t improve your position.
3. Do not use keyword spamming.

Now here is what to do.

1. Have great content and update it on a regular basis.
2. Add new features and pages.
3. Have great content. Content is what gets you ranked. Can we says it is content the search engines want? Yes, it is content!!
4. If your web site hasn’t been crawled in a while update your site and manually submit it to Google, Yahoo and MSN.
5. Create and then submit a site map to Google.
