Getting Noticed Online Does Not Have To Be A Full Time Job

Of all the Internet business marketing solutions we encounter, getting noticed online is by far the most problematic.

Getting noticed online doesn't have to be a full time job and getting your website listed on the major search engines can be a relatively simple task if you follow some of these simple suggestions.

There are no magic bullets to getting ranked , it just boils down to a bit of hard work and time well directed.

First of all, assuming your website and page content is already optimized for the search engines.

• You need to submit your site to the search engines. When I say the search engines, I mean primarily Google and Yahoo.
  

Google makes no predictions as to when your site will be indexed, nor does not add all submitted URLs but most bonifide websites will get indexed after their URLs are submitted and Google's search engine spiders crawl your site.

Submit your website URL to Google at this link:
http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Submit your site to Yahoo Site Explorer at this link:
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit

Although your website will eventually be crawled by the search engines software robots and indexed, manually submitting your site speeds the indexing process up a bit.

• Getting noticed online by submitting your website for inclusion into the various directories will also greatly improve your ranking.

Relevance to your website must be considered and is extremely important in directory submissions.

There are many affordable directory submission services available online that can be found by doing a Google search. If you go this route, be sure that the submissions are done manually and the directories are credible and reputable.

The one way permanent links generated by this type of directory submission will make your website substantially more popular and highly visible, compared to reciprocal linking.

• Some webmasters find that joining "banner exchanges" and trading advertising banners with other web sites gets them noticed online. If banner exchanges are for you, just search for "banner exchange" on Google.

• Another way of getting noticed online is by visiting sites with similar content to yours and offering to exchange links. This is cost efficient and productive.

Just email the webmaster with your link and explain the benefit of the exchange. Most webmasters realize the benefit and will exchange links if the sites is relevant and of value.

The last method of getting noticed online is somewhat time consuming but very productive.
