December 23rd, 2009 by adminNow you can create your own blog in minutes. You can either purchase your own domain for blog, or you can make a blog for free on free blog hosting websites. The real work starts after the creation of blog; you need to submit it on search engines and blog directories.
Blog submission is just like website submission, but there are technical differences which we will discuss here. The three biggest search engines are Google, Yahoo and MSN; we will look the ways how to submit your blog on these search engines.
Before submitting your blog on Google, you must ensure that your blog has a sitemap.Always check your sitemap time by time to ensure that Google is not encountering any errors in it. Once you submit your blog on Google, you don’t have to do it again, however, you should keep close eye on your sitemap.
If your blog is hosted on Wordpress, you can install Wordpress sitemap plugin to automatically update and notify it to Google. If your blog hosting website does not offer you blogging software, you can find free tools for creating sitemaps on Google. Sitemap is not a hindrance to submit your blog on Google Webmasters. Google drags results from blog directories, so it is good to submit your blog on these blog directories, and ping your site when you revise your blog. There are many websites which offer you this service, but Feed Shot is the most powerful website which submits your blog on main blog directories.
Yahoo works differently than Google. It asks you to submit your site feed instead of sitemap. It is wise to add your blog feed on your ‘My Yahoo’ page, so that your blog can be indexed quickly to Yahoo’s version of blog search.
MSN is the third in the row after Google and Yahoo. MSN works differently; you can directly submit your blog on MSN, and for this you do not need an account. Submission of blog on MSN is a manual process in which you are required to enter the characters on the page for successful submission. One another easy way to submit on MSN is to submit your blog on ‘Moreover’ news site, because many results which MSN shows are dragged from ‘Moreover’.
After you are done with your blog submission on Google, Yahoo, and MSN, ping it every time you update it. Ping process should only be initiated if you are sure that you have submitted your blog on all the listed directories.
These are some of the tips to submit your blog on search engines. Afterwards, you need to promote it on consistent basis by writing press releases and articles, and submit them on press release and article directories. This way you can build links and pull traffic towards your blog.
