Did you know? When your site is presently listed by Google further submission can not speed up matters. If you are trying to locate the page where you have to submit your site, simply search ‘Google submit’ in Google. It is understandable that their page would rank on top of the list but you could attempt several other ways for them to decide on your site.

A novel way to get Google to notice your site is via links from sites which are heavily crawled. Using online directories could be the best and fastest way though. Google has the habit of scrutinizing top level directories regularly and when any site has links from these the site also gets noticed quicker.

The choice is between free and paid subscription directories and you have to pick your choice depending on the money available. Business directories which also have similar interest areas as yours are good since Google is always keen to find links between the two, when indexing your site. The area of operation between your site and the business directory ought to be common.

DMOZ, also known as the Open Directory, is probably one of the most important directories to get listed in if you are interested in good rankings from Google. This is however not the instantaneous way to get Google notice your website. In fact it can take weeks, even months to get listed in DMOZ. This is because every site submitted is reviewed in person by the category editor and it really depends how far down the queue you are. One critical advice, is before submitting your site to DMOZ, remember to go by their guidelines strictly and comply with every instruction provided.

There is yet another way to get noticed by Google and that is through submitting articles to article submission sites. Most of the reputed article submission sites permit you to insert a box called ‘About the Author’ or ‘Author Resource’. This is the place where you insert the link to your site.

One of the great advantages of writing meaningful articles is that other sites use them in their sites. It is mandatory for them to use the resource box so that you can access a free link to your site. That is another opportunity to get noticed by Google and if your articles are in line with your line of business, you would get increased amount of site traffic. Thus, you could submit to Google directly but never ignore the options of directories or article writing, which could assure you of better chances of getting noticed.
