Google Search remains the top search engine according to
Searchenginewatch.com. More time is spent doing Google searches than at any
other site. You only have to submit the URL of your home page and Google will
"crawl" your whole site and index every page it can find!
However, it
can take several visits over a number of weeks to find all your pages and
include them in its database. The potential volume of traffic from Google is still well
worth the wait - and it's free! You can
submit your site to Google Search in
less than a minute, and they will crawl your whole site and eventually include every page
in its database.
Google will usually begin indexing your site within a couple of weeks of your submission, and sometimes within a few days.
But your site will not normally appear usefully high in any search results for several months. This is why it is a good idea to
pair your Google submission with paid clicks from Google Adwords to start
driving new traffic to your site very quickly.
Google Adwords is a great program for getting targeted traffic to your web
site within a few days. Once you sign up and are approved, you will start receiving new
visitors to your site thanks to Google's reach as the most used search
system in the world.
Google Adwords are short ads that are displayed in two different
settings. First of all, when people use Google to search for a term,
Adwords appear on the right hand side of the results page as "sponsored
links." Ads matching the terms searched for are displayed, which means people
are already looking for web sites like yours.
Goodle Adwords are also displayed on many thousands of other web
sites in small boxed displays, with ads chosen to match the content of the web
page they appear on. For an example, view this site's
search engines page and you will see the
Google Adwords on the right hand side, and you can see for yourself the
relevancy of the ads to the page's content.
You pay only for each time someone clicks on your ad - which
means you're only paying for visitors to your site. You can set your own budget
and pay for as much or little extra traffic as you can afford. With Adwords, you
are able to move your ad higher up the list of results, depending upon how much
you want to pay per click. This amount will vary from one subject matter
to another, and how much other webmasters are willing to pay, too.
It is very easy to sign up for Goodle Adwords. All you need to
do is click on the button below to transfer to the Adwords information and
sign-up site. After you have entered the required information about your self, your site
and your method of payment, you will need to wait briefly until Google visits
and approves your site. Essentially they need to verify that your own site
has substantial content of its own.

To make sure to score as highly as you can in the search results, you should
continue to optimize your web pages after you have submitted your site.
Check your HTML is correct and try to

so that you can get the best ranking in the searches.
Tips for Improving your Traffic:
Add the keywords you want to target in your web page's title, in both your META "description" and
"keywords" tags, and in the IMG "alt" descriptions. But, make sure that your title and description are
written to engage the reader's interest first and foremost.
Try not to repeat your key words more than 7 or 8 times in the body of your text.
Consider submitting several pages to Inktomi - this will not only increase your chances of ranking higher on a
variety of keywords, but it will also help your visitors to land on the most relevant page of your site.
If you have extra money in your marketing budget, consider listing your site on one of the
pay per click search engines. With PPC search engines you score as high in the search results as you
are willing to pay for each click on your link. The advantage is that you get highly targeted traffic - only
people looking for search terms directly related to your product or services, plus your site is listed very quickly.
