It is easy and free to submit your website to be indexed on Google.
You don't need to pay money to have your website show up on the first page either.
All it takes is some good content, and the proper Search Engine Optimization.
Google goes by the content it is given to index your pages.
This means that your website needs to be prepared before you are ready to place it on a search engine.
The first things we need to check before we submit the website is your HTML tags.
This starts with the Title tag.
Make sure each page of your website has a title.
Not just something like "My first website", instead throw some key terms in there.
For example, "My website on cabbage and information on how to plant and grow cabbage".
This will tell Google that my site is about cabbage, and about how to plant and grow cabbage.
You get about 60 words to use in your title tag.
Form a good descriptive sentence with keywords on your web page topic.
Google includes the title when in searches for keywords for its ranking algorithm.
The next important tag is your description tag.
Here you have about 150 words to play with.
Make it longer than your title and try to use the same key words that are in the title along with a few extra words thrown in for good measure.
This will be the 2nd tag that helps Google decided on your websites topic.
The more keywords that can match up to your title tag might give that extra nudge to move your site higher in the results.
Now you hear people talk about keywords all the time.
Yes your next part will be to check keyword tags.
Make sure you have keywords that are in both your title and your description.
Yes, this wouldn't be complete unless your website text also had these keywords throughout.
More on this later.
You can see where I am going on this.
keywords are in the title tag, the description tag, and in the body of your website.
When Google looks through your site it expects that your keywords will match what is available in your document.
There are other meta tags that your site will need, and that will help you get listed faster.
There is a great online metatag generator for you to use here: http://www.

com/ The other thing we always hear people says is content is king.
This is true and your website needs to be full of information.
Not only that, but the information needs to be full of key terms you want to be found for.
You page of text will be backed by a matching title and description.
These will what Google uses when you submit your website.
If your site is ready, than we move on to the actual submitting to Google.
I have you prep the website before hand because the free submit says it could take as long as a few months to show up in Google.
Follow me on this and you will show up in 3 weeks.
We start by going to dmoz http://www.
dmoz.
org/ This is the directory behind Google.
This is a human edited directory, so if you want to get your site listed faster, do most the work for them before they view your site.
From their front page, choose a directory/Category your site fits into.
Then drill down ever further to find websites that are similar to yours.
Try to find the most exact topic to place your site into.
At least go down three sub categories.
The editors don't want to have to take the time to look up a better category for your site.
This would just lead to a site being rejected or taking longer to get listed in Google.
Once you have found a nice sub category, click the suggest URL link at the top of the site.
Important, it will ask for your title and description.
We already have these in our website tags.
The bright warning in the yellow box is there to tell you to make sure you choose a good category.
