Hub You - How to Submit Your Site to Search Engines
Every aspirant is confronted with the same question- What online business should I get into? This is the trickiest of all the questions before you set out. Because you know all too well, that the success of your new career rests on this one decision more than anything else. Having access to reports of all kinds, software, worksheets and practical tools to your help are available online by the dozen. However, casually choosing a line of business is likely to land you up in what can be now famously termed as home based online business scam.No matter what, the benefits of owning an online business are really

You should also create a spreadsheet or Word doc listing all the search engines you plan to submit your site to, their URLs, a comments field (for chosen categories etc) and a date column. Then as you submit to each site, you can check it off on your list, writing down the date submitted.
You could even create another date column for when your site appears in the search engine so you can gauge how long the submission took to become active. I
Growth in the trucking industry is all about freight volume. The more freight you move, the faster your company will grow. But big volume comes with a catch – slow paying customers. Unfortunately, waiting 30 to 45 days to get paid is very common in the industry.But what if you cannot afford to wait 45 days to get paid by your clients? What if you need to buy fuel, pay drivers or pay for repairs? Employees and suppliers seldom like to wait to get paid.Needless to say, going to the bank for financing is not an option. They usually do not like to finance small and mid sized businesses. Unless, of cours
Now there is such a huge amount of misinformation on the Web about search engine submission, I thought it was high time I wrote a basic tutorial to help webmasters sort fact from fiction.
Before You Begin
Before you can start to submit your site to search engines, you need to make sure it is ready for indexing. Use the following checklist to be absolutely sure your site is submission-ready:
• Are all pages complete? (No “under construction” pages)
• Are all links valid? (No broken or dead links)
• Are all pages optimized?
• Are all pages search engine compatible?
• Have you used Robots.txt or Robots META Tag to prevent pages you want hidden (e.g. shopping cart) from being indexed?
• If your site is an e-commerce site, is your ordering process or shopping cart functional and tested for bugs?
• Are you prepared to handle a sudden influx of traffic and/or sales?
• Have you tested your site for usability? (Google “web site usability” for more information)
To make your job of submitting easier, you also need to prepare a text file or spreadsheet listing the following:
1. Your site’s main URL
2. The URLs for other pages on your site that you will be submitting
3. Your site’s Title (the name of your site you want listed in engines. This is usually your company name e.g. Atlanta City Tours or Acme Widgets)
4. A short description of your page/site content (10-20 words)
5. A long description of your page/site content (30-50 words)
6. A list of target keywords for your page/site
7. Name of submitterv
8. Email address of submitter (we suggest using a real account you check regularly, but one where you have strict controls over incoming spam email – you will receive some spam as a result of your submissions!)
9. Address and contact details of your company (some directories ask for this)
It is particularly important to keep track of the email address you use when submitting your site, because some directories, like Yahoo for example, require you to cite this address if you want to make changes to your listing later on.
I like to use a text file created in Notepad for the above, but some people prefer to use a Word doc or a spreadsheet. It’s up to you. Remember to utilize your target search keywords as much as possible when creating your site descriptions. Or you can use parts of your optimized Title and META tags, as long as you don’t go overboard stuffing keywords and making your site description spam-like.
The site submission information I might prepare for a fictional Miami florist would look something like this:
1. www.funkyflorists.com (fictional URL for demonstration purposes only)
2. www.funkyflorists.com/page1.htm, www.funkyflorists.com/page2.htm etc

Successful online entrepreneurs are a breed apart in themselves. Each of them is different from the other in their approach of making profits on the internet. However, all of them do have a common denominator, focus, focus on one single marketing technique at a time and give it all they have to give.This is not a lesson limited to online business. One can take the same approach and succeed in any business. The problem is not the lack of marketing ideas or people; the problem is too many of them being available and not being able to stick to one. As it goes… Too many cooks spoil the broth…..Try conce

If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Simply put, it is word of mouth. Word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising. It is the most honest form of marketing, building upon people’s innate desire to share their experiences with family, friends and co-workers.Word of mouth for a brand is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do extraordinary things well. People notice that over time. While there are no shortcuts to generate word of mouth, you can use specific techniques to accelerate the process. Here are a few of them:Look at th

Affiliate marketing has revolutionized the nature of selling products on the Internet in recent years. Companies have noticed that they can increase their sales dramatically if they offer incentives for third parties to advertise their products for them. This symbiotic relationship results in greater sales for the company and nice commission checks for the affiliate, who promotes the product without having to stock it or sell it.The latest product to arrive in affiliate marketing is a book called Affiliate Commandments, written by the author of two extremely books on affiliate marketing.Chris McNeen

Many companies encourage customer loyalty with discounts and other gifts. These may be appreciated, but it can also become expensive and expected.Here’s another idea that will make your customers happy and also boost your business.Send your existing customers a free coupon for some of your products or your service. But make this voucher valid only when signed by your current customer, and redeemable only by someone who is not (yet) your customer.What does this accomplish?Your existing customer gets a valuable gift to share with someone else. Your new customer gets a gift from someone t

It’s important that you keep track of this information so that you don’t accidentally resubmit to a search engine or directory that you’ve already covered. If you are submitting to a search engine using a paid submission option, always make note of your receipt number in case you need to follow it up.
