Multiple Pages

[Joseph Witchard]

How exactly should you submit your website to search engines? If I had a site named example.com, would submitting example.com be completely sufficient, or it would it be better to submit all of my pages, such as example.com, example.com/info.php, etc. ?

There is No need to submit your site's other pages in search engines, if you want so you can submit your index page only in google.

you can submit your sitemap.xml in google and yahoo, search engines will crawl itself all the pages.

you just need to update quality content and other submissions for your sites.

As long as you have at least one incoming link from a site already in the search results then your pages will automatically be found and listed.

Without any incoming links from other sites in the search results you are going to be at the tail end of the results if you do submit. Being listed on page 1,000,000 isn't going to get you any more visitors than not being listed at all.

Google LUVS sitemaps and tagclouds. A sitemap is a page listing all the URLs of the site: sort of like the "table of contents" in the front of a book. Listing all the pages (and maybe a brief overview of each page's content) is very helpful.

Tags clouds... I'm not convinced that this is anything other than 'Web 2.0' craze, but a good tag cloud that shows searchable terms used in your site and their relevance to user's search patterns (showing which words searched landed them into/onto your site) is anything more than revealing your 'hot keywords' to competitors. But still, a little boxy thing with a few dozen keywords that, when clicked, lead to another page in the same site IS more internal links, and this is always good.

Tag clouds... You mean like using some tags to get keywords noticed (such as <h1> or <em>)?
