Short answer: make your site easy to find and worth indexing. The thread has the right instincts (discovery by links vs manual submission) but mixes tactics and tools; here’s a compact, practical approach that fills the gaps left by earlier replies.

  • Make the site crawlable: main pages must return HTTP 200, not be blocked by robots.txt or meta noindex, and avoid redirect chains.
  • Fix canonicalization and redirects: use single 301s for moved pages and a consistent preferred URL (with HTTPS).
  • Clean, focused pages win: unique title tags, useful body content, clear headings and a sensible internal link structure so important pages aren’t orphaned.
  • Performance and mobile: fast load times and a responsive layout improve crawl efficiency and user signals.
  • Earn real links: prioritize a few authoritative, relevant links (guest posts, partnerships, content people cite) rather than mass directory dumps or auto-submit tools.
  • Monitor and iterate: verify the site in search consoles, check indexing/crawl reports, and review server logs to see how bots behave.

This ties back to points made by , and — discovery happens through links and crawlability — but expands on what to check when a page isn’t being indexed. Ignore quick-fix claims (including the Gmail tip from ); email accounts don’t register pages with search engines. Also be wary of mass-submission or “one-click” submit services mentioned earlier: they rarely deliver durable, high-quality links and can waste time.

Expect patience: indexing can take days to weeks depending on site authority and link signals. If a page still isn't indexed after you’ve checked the items above, collect specific diagnostics (URL response, robots.txt excerpt, and crawl errors) before changing strategy.

You can do it or You will then once you visit their site. You can start building links first by submissions to high PR directories. You will get indexed fast and work on your way.

Basically the way that search engines will know you exist is if there are links to your website. So make there are links to your website, and then your site will be indexed in search engines. For Google in particular, you can sign up for webmaster tools service for your website () , which allows you to tell them exactly which pages are in your website, thereby directly telling them what pages to index in their search engines.

Yahoo, as well, has a Webmaster Central interface, but I'm not sure of the URL offhand. It should be easy enough to find though.

Member Avatar for A_member

I said this in some other post,submit your URL to submitexpress.com they submit your URL to several search engines.

Member Avatar for shedii

You can submit your website url to search engines yourself if you have enough time and a list of search engines where urls can be submitted for free. Otherwise, there are plenty of websites that offer free services to submit urls to various search engines and my opinion is also same as the user who has replied above that you can submit your url to submitexpress and they would submit it to search engines.

Member Avatar for AndrewJ

Submitting to search engines is the slow way to do it. You need to get a few links from active sites (eg forum signatures) and let the search engines find your site that way.

Absolutely - it's all about backlinks.

Member Avatar for Hafsoh

You dont need to submit to SE its quite a waste of time. If you have links to your site from other websites Google bot will find you.

IBP is a great submission tool - there is a FREE version ;)

What's the difference between the free version and the paid one?
Is it worth it at all to try to free version?

Member Avatar for Curt8888

It has been a couple of years since i had the FREE version. The website in your sig file - is that the one you want to submit?

Yes.

Member Avatar for >shadow<

Yes.

lol pay me 10 bucks and I will put it all through my edition of IBP
and I have the legal edition

yeah guys, the "free" version no longer actually posts your website anywhere, they cracked down on that. theres a rumour that the "free" one multiply sends your site out so that you dont get it added to search engines and end up banned

Member Avatar for selfhelpebooks

Submit your site to google, yahoo, and msn through their url submit. Also, dmoz and a few other directories will help.

Member Avatar for Dani

You don't need to manually submit if you have backlinks.

Member Avatar for mddv

Well when i create a new website i never submit my website to a search engine. I have always let the search engine find me. The bestway is once your website it online and ready you start your link building campain e.g. directory submissions, recip. links, raw links etc. and the search engines will naturally find you. But being found on search engines is a totally different story.

Member Avatar for lajocar

You can submit domain manually to major search engines or place a link on site that gets crawled regularly and the se spiders will pick up your site

Member Avatar for gdi

you can joing google webmaster tools , make a sitemap for your website, add your website to your google webmaster account, ad the sitemap for this website... and wait 2-3 days, your website will be on google :=)

to have a high SERP you need content, content is the king :)

Member Avatar for loysten

I think that the url is nothing but the address, to access in internet.

so what i do is i go to google first.

then i go to gmail, then i type the e-mail
address there,

then i will get my url.

thank you...........

I wonder if this fusion between Google and Yahoo is going to benefit the search engine technology or it's going to slow it down. We know that Google is going to provide technology to Yahoo....but, but....the bigger the better??? Dunno, we just have to wait and see if one gigantic search engine is better than 2 big ones. Hope for the best!
