Before submitting your webpages you must check all the link pages thoroughly one by one. Do not forget that they should be judged not only by you and your visitors but by number of professional Web site reviewers once you submit them to Web Directories. Check them online after you check them as your local files on your computer. Spend time browsing and clicking on every link on every page. Double check if all the images are loading and how long it takes to load the pages. Use different browsers to see how compatible they are with old and new versions.
Tell your friends to browse your site and give you their feedback how easy it is to navigate, how easy they understand it's content, how easy it is to find a product or how easy to order and the overall performance of your site.
You should check your pages on different computer monitor resolutions. They must look good at 480X640 as much as with 600X800 resolution and even in 1024X768 resolution. Select different font sizes on your browser and make sure your page looks good with any of them. You may add a line mentioned best viewed in 1024X768 resolution.

I agree with Vistadivine, you dont need to waste your time with submissions, find a site that has a good pagerank and get some links to your site. Your site will then be indexed pretty quickly!

Doesn't even have to be 'quality links', any link will do

As far I know low ranked link neighbour will decrease your page rank too

Linking to sites that are relevant not only helps your page rank but also may give you some targeted traffic. Linking is an art and you cant just go out there and link to just anyone, you have to be meticulous about it. Be careful who you link to because some sites WILL hurt you!

"they must look good in 480 x 640", yikes is this really jacob neilsen masquerading. I think you can go to far with trying to make your website look good in all screen resolutions, if you want to be all things to all people then just do a text only site.

Re linking, I think you've got to try and be as natural as possible, don't just head out and get a load of pr0's through link exchanges, google will surely know.

Whats wrong with good old fashion emailing webmasters cuz ppl want a quality link?


I browse the net and go to tons of sites like mine, and email their head admin for a link on a page with a pagerank.


And as far as the post- Things to consider before you submit to search engines: not to submit.

Don`t exchange reciprocal links with PR0 site. All ways it is very dangerous. My few site baned by GOOGLE for this reason.

I didn`t submit my sites for search engines so far. Search engines will index your sites automatically, if they have good backward links. Therefore allways try to get link exchange with PR3 or > sites.

Submiting to high Pagerank directories is better!

I think Dmoz Directory is more powerful for google search result. If you search any keyword in google, the top 10 web site in result page are also in dmoz directory.

yes homeremedy. I agree with you but there is a problem, DMOZ take long time for approval. Thus Geting good backlink is quick process.

Has anybody friends in DMOZ ? Want my site to be added there asap

You are right, then I need someone that edit category where I want to put my link

Just interesting, maybe someone knows guys that do editing dmoz?

Dmoz ranks well because they good links pointing to there inner pages.
