The best web hosting and search engine submission are key in that you need a good reliable web host for your site to be up and live ALL the time. If your web host has downtime, which means that your site isn’t visible to visitors, then your site won’t be there when the search engines come to spider your site, and that is not a good thing for anyone trying to carve out their niche on the internet. Your site won’t have any downtime if you choose the best web hosting company, so don’t accept anything less!

Should you own web-based businesses or significant portions of your business are done over the web via your website, the best marketing and advertising is done through submitting to search engines. Neither press releases nor newspaper or radio ads, banner ads, spam emails or newsletters can attain equal results; though, a small proportion might effective.

Be wary of webhosting companies promising automatic submissions of websites to a multitude of search engines, they are but false promises. DIY – do it yourself, that’s the best way. Submit your website yourself for inclusion and ranking or source an expert, hire them and get them to manually do it, by actually contacting search engine directories and companies.

Before submitting any website to any search engine, ensure that your websites have a professional look and feel to them, amateur is not a good look for a professional business. Whether outsourced or done by yourself make sure the overall design is to professional quality standards with the right key word usage, excellent graphics and pictures that complement and enhance the relevant content. An incomplete website should never be submitted, take the time to check everything and that everything checked is portraying your website as positively as possible. Are you happy with your potential submission? Good! Stay along the right track and make sure you provide information about the business (category) of your website, including business name, contact details, your keywords and anything else pertinent.

The act of submission, by itself, into a search engine company does not give an automatic guarantee your site will be listed immediately or that its ranking will sit high. In the world of computers there are still humans that function as part of the great machine and with new websites in their thousands appearing daily it may take some considerable before your site is taken up for human editor review. When submitting a site it is important to include your site map, which makes crawling around your website easy for web robots and spiders. Search engines like Google give hardly any consideration to submissions without sitemaps. If your site has more than 50 pages or posts, then create a sitemap with multiple pages with no more than 50 links per page.

There is no need to do search engine submission yourself with the best web hosting companies. The best web hosting offers either automatic search engine submission due to the fact that you upload fresh content often,  or they have Fantastico installed on your cpanel so you can more easily create a self-hosted WordPress site. WordPress sites are cool because every time you create a post or update a post, the search engines get notified of what you have added.
