Well, there are several steps that you can take to avoid this nightmare scenario. The first thing you must do is get your site listed with all the major search engines such as Google. There are hundreds of search engine submission services online. Many offer a paid service and a free one. The paid service sends your web site information monthly to hundreds of search engines for a fee. The free service sends it to a handful of very select search engines including Google. If you are starting up your website on a shoe string its best to stick with the free service.
If your site is selling a product or service then its best to list your site with the relevant online directories out there. If your site is selling ebooks then list your site with every online ebook directory. To find them, simply type 'ebook directories' into Google or any other search engine. Once you have found them, use their built-in automatic site submission tool to submit you website's information. Your information could take time to appear but it will. Unless you are selling a serious product with a serious amount of cash behind you, don't pay for any directory listings such as the Yahoo directory. |
