Search engine optimization (SEO) is more important than ever
for getting your website noticed. You can take the chance that a crawler will
stumble on your site, but why not improve your odds by submitting your site
directly to search engines? Manually submitting your site to the major search
engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing offers a few advantages: it ensures
that the search engines will crawl your site, and can help your site get into
an index faster. Think of it as moving your site to the front of the search
line. Here’s how you do it.
There is step by step description how you can submit your
website on major search engine.
A. Submit your website on google
Signup of google webmaster https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/.
And Verify your website
Once you’ve submitted your website, you’ll be shown instructions on how to verify that you are, in fact, the true owner of the site. Google provides a number of different options for you to do this:
The program’s recommended verification process involves
uploading a custom HTML file to your website’s root domain. Once you’ve added
this file to your site (which can be done with any FTP program or your web
hosting account’s built-in file management program), simply return to Webmaster
Tools and click the “Verify” button.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to go to the trouble of
uploading a verification file, Google gives you three different options, as
shown below:
Optimization
The “Optimization” section of
Google’s Webmaster Tools deals with more of the on-site activities that are
needed to achieve positive SEO results. As a result, a few of the specific
features you’ll want to pay attention to in this area include:
- Sitemaps: If you haven’t yet uploaded your website’s sitemap, take the time to do so using this feature.
- Remove URLs: Use this tool to generate a custom robots.txt file that specifies exactly how the search engine’s automated spiders should read and parse your website’s content.
- HTML Improvements: A quick glance at the information found here will let you know whether or not changes should be made to your website’s meta tags.
- Structured Data: If you make use of microdata on your website (and you really, really should), check this page to track the specific types detected on your website.
Though this section of the Webmaster
Tools program doesn’t give you as much actionable information as the “Traffic”
toolset, you’ll still want to check these features regularly to ensure that
your on-site activities are being carried out correctly and detected by Google.
B. Submit website on Yahoo/Bing
With the completion of algorithmic transition to Bing, Yahoo! Search has merged Site Explorer into Bing Webmaster Tools. Webmasters should
now be using the Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure that their websites continue to
get high quality organic search traffic from Bing and Yahoo!.

You have two different modes to verify your ownership one is by
adding meta tag to your index pageand other is by adding XML file to your web
space where your web sites is hosted.
Choose the best way that is comfortable with you. If you are

web site.

your blog in the web master tools so visit to the webmaster tools once again

your site follow the screen instructions and correct the errors.
