SEO Pinoy - Search Engine Optimization and Online Marketing

I thought of this topic to be interesting especially for SEO beginners/newbie on what is the first step after setting up your website.

First you need to be able to expose your website to the major search engines. There are two ways to do these. It’s either let the search engine discover your website via link from other website. Preferably Website with high PageRank. Or submit your website to the search engines.

Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html (You must have a Yahoo account before you can submit your sites URL)

MSN: http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx

Inktomi Search Index (powered by MSN): http://submitit.bcentral.com/msnsubmit.htm

Second you need to submit your website to as many as you can web directories out there paid or free. Be sure you submit your site to DMOZ.org and Yahoo.com (free/paid). You can read more on how to submit your website to web directories here . This will increase your link popularity and exposure to Search Engines to crawl your website often.
