How to submit your website or blog to Google, Yahoo, Bing?

Submission of your website or blog to Google (or Yahoo or Bing) is very important. This is the first step for starting Search Engine Optimization for your site. If your site is indexed by search engines it will help to bring more traffic.

Suppose that you own a shop. People will visit your shop either seeing it or by your address. But in the world of internet even if you have a website address it may not bring visitors to the site. To get traffic your web address should come up on the search engines for your targeted keywords.

You own a coffee shop (service or your product) and your shop name (website) is Kumar Café. No one will directly type your address and visit unless you are a big brand. This is why Search Engine Optimization is required. Only by SEO your website will rank on search engines for your keyword which in this case is “coffee shop”.
