Please note: if your site is listed with Google already, then any further attempt in submission would not help expedite listing. When you search ‘Google submit’ you can find the page where sites are submitted. Understandably, their page would be the first to feature on the list but there are other ways which can be deployed to make your site stand out and get picked up by them.

When your site has links with sites which is frequented regularly, then Google catches it faster. However using the many online directories would easily be the way to go, quicker and simpler. Directories which are high ranked are regularly checked by Google and site indexing can get done faster if you have links from any of them.

You have a choice between free directories and paid subscriptions and it is entirely up to your budget and preference. 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. You site ought to be dealing with the same issues as the business directory.

The sure shot way to get top rankings with Google is to get listed with DMOZ, sometimes called an Open Directory. To get Google to pick up your site, this is however not the speediest way. It might take you several weeks or months before you get listed by DMOZ. This is because a category editor personally evaluates every site that is submitted and it all matters where in the line your site is located. One important point to remember is that when submitting to DMOZ, you must ready and follow their stipulations thoroughly.

You could also submit articles to the relevant sites and get indexed by Google. Nearly all the worthy article sites allow you to leave behind your tell tale signature box called ‘About the Author’ or ‘Author Resource’. It is here that you add the critical link to your site.

One of the great advantages of writing meaningful articles is that other sites use them in their sites. This is done when they carry your author resource box also as this is your key to a free link to your site. This is one successful way to get picked up by Google and if the articles deal with same subject as your business, then chances of increased traffic to your site are far more.
