Hello,

I have old sites (2+ years old) and new websites (1 year old).

What is the good SEO strategy to get indexed on these sites?

What I learned from this forum is to write articles and submit them to social bookmarking sites.

How often do I need to submit them to social bookmarking sites for new sites/old sites?

Thanks a lot.

Have a nice day!

For : indexing and ranking are driven less by how often you "poke" search engines and more by three fundamentals — site health, content quality, and useful signals that make Google recrawl and re-evaluate pages. The thread already mentions freshness and keywords (thanks and ). The practical difference between old and new sites is prioritization: fix legacy problems on old sites, and build a clean foundation on new ones.

Old-site checklist (prioritize):

  • Run a content and index audit in Search Console to spot low-value pages, duplicate content, crawl errors and manual actions. Use data to decide whether to update, consolidate (301/canonical) or remove pages (consolidate duplicate URLs, ).
  • Repair broken links, remove thin pages, add author/credibility signals where E-E-A-T matters, and keep a small set of high-value pages that target real queries.

New-site checklist (foundation):

  • Verify site in Search Console, publish an XML sitemap and confirm robots.txt so Google can crawl reliably (sitemaps overview).
  • Build a clear site architecture (topic clusters + internal linking), implement schema where relevant, and prioritize page experience (mobile, speed, CWV).
  • Publish consistently but focus on depth and usefulness rather than volume. Use URL inspection to request indexing for important pages after substantive updates.

Promotion and caution:

  • Earn editorial, relevant backlinks; avoid disposable or manipulative link tactics (see Google link guidelines) — poor links can hurt more than help ().
  • Measure every change with Search Console and analytics, and let metrics (impressions, clicks, rankings) guide refreshes rather than a fixed resubmission schedule.

I have heard recommendations of resubmitting them every week or month - as long as you have updated the content and keep it fresh.

i suggest that you start with searching good keywords for your niche. You should look into the popularity of the keyword on search engines. You should also try blog commenting specifically on do-follow blogs. Hyperlink your chosen keyword and redirect it to your site. I find these strategies effective in creating backlinks.
