Submit my blog to google and other searhc engines

[bjdust]

I just submitted by blog to different search engines. I read on another blog to do a Google search for "blog directories" and submit your blog to those, too. I think every little bit helps but this may not be your cup of tea if you don't like reciprocal links.

I've never had to submit websites to google and other search engines. It just shows up there eventually. I think those search engine submit site are just garbage.

I would think that by now, search engines are smart enough to find your blog if others have linked to you. For example, I bought a domain two months ago and created a WP blog on it a month ago and had one of my blogs link to it. In less than a month, it is already the first result on Google if you search for the site name.

If you want to see who is linking to you, you can use yahoo site explorer, type site:website.com in google, or try wholinkstome.com.

Since the blog is linked to in this thread, Google should index it directly from here.

Indeed, start an account on any large-traffic site (Digg, YA!, etc.) - and the url will be indexed automatically. I've had websites appear on google search within 24hours thanks to Yahoo.

Yahoo answers is no follow but you are right, the google bots can crawl no follow links. I use Digg a lot and have noticed the quick indexing there

To find out how many links just do a Yahoo search for link: your domain name

You can do either of the following to check if your blog is being index:

Go to google address bar then type link:your blog address
or
Go to google address bar then type url:your blog address

If some results appear then your blog is being index.
