The first step to getting your site online and to get better rankings
in Google is to submit your URL to search engines. An example of an URL
is www.yoursite.com. Eventually the search engines will find your site
but this will help expedite the process.
Once you submit your URL, it could take several days, weeks, or
months for the search engines to index your page(s). Results may vary so
don’t write this in stone. Factors such as other websites pointing to
your site can affect this time as well.
Submit your URL to Google:
1. Go to the following link: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
2. Type in your URL, example: http://www.yoursite.com
3. Enter comments about your site. This is optional. Usually I enter the genre of the site and a few keywords. Example: Website design in Hollister, CA.
4. Enter the captcha text shown in the box
5. Select “Add URL”

Submit your Sitemap to Ask:
**UPDATED AUGUST 2012**
Ask does not have an URL submit feature. Until recently, you could
submit your sitemap to them. But Ask.com has now retired this feature
and says they will be crawling sites instead. So, the next best thing is
to add a directive in your robots.txt file that specifies
auto-discovery of the XML sitemap.
Like this:
SITEMAP: http://www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml
The sitemap location should be the full sitemap URL.
That’s it! Once you complete the above steps, just sit back and be
patient. It takes time for the search engines to index your pages. If
you submit more than once, some search engines may consider this
spamming which could result in not indexing your site at all.
Do Not Use an Automated Submission Program
Using an automated submission program to submit to multiple search engines at once may be considered spam attempts and is frowned upon by search engines such as Google.
