How to Optimize your Blog/ Web site for Google Search Listings

Search engine optimization or in simple terms, get list in google, yahoo or msn is must in this time of internet. Every web master want their site to come up first in google search.

This series of articles, we would like to look in to ways to improve the web site Search Optimization,


Because of abuse, many search engines no longer use the tags to help rank pages, but you should still include them because they do use them to describe your site,

head
title Title of Your Site title
meta name="description" content="Description of your site here."
meta name="keywords" content="keywords separated by commas"

The Big 3 Engines - Google, Yahoo and MSN (Live)

There are a handful of engines out there that bring traffic, but the reality is a very large percentage of search engine traffic comes from Google,
Yahoo and MSN. Yes, there are other engines like AOL, Netscape etc., but they pull their results from the Big 3.


1) Get your site listed in The Open Directory - www.dmoz.org.
Link you site to as much as website possible

http://www.ideamarketers.com/
www.submitexpress.com/


2) The second way to get listed in Google is to use their own Add URL form located here http://www.google.com/addurl.html.

3) The third way to get listed is to be linked from another web site that is already in Google. That way, when Google's spider goes to visit that site for updates, it will pick up the link to your site and add it. This method does not always work, but many sites do get in this way.



Getting into Yahoo and Live (Formerly MSN)

Submit directly to MSN by going here http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx.

Yahoo's direct submission site is https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit.

Yahoo Directory

http://dir.yahoo.com and it's not used very much by web surfers.
