web site question?

Question

If someone was to purchase a domain name with hosting, and downloaded free web builder, finished and launched, do the web site appears n searches or some additional service is needed?

Answer 1

You need to add your site to the major indexes in order for it to be found. Look for the "suggest a site / add a site" links at each of the engines where you want to be listed.

Answer 2

You need to submit your website to the search engines. The big search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN and ASK will send a "spider" to crawl your site then list it when/if it meets their requirements. Some search engines charge a fee, the bigger and more recognized the more expensive. There are a gazillion of free directories that you can list your site with but you need to either manually submit to each one or pay someone to submit your site for you. It is tedious and takes awhile but necessary if you want anyone to come visit your site. (It has to be listed LOTS of places or no one will find it!)

You can also write articles to articles directories for free about whatever your website content is and include a link back to your website in the author credits. Then there are press release sites which help build traffic and search engine recognition- some cost $ but others are free.

There is a free step-by-step instructional guide to building websites, getting them listed, and generating traffic as well as income which might be helpful to you. It's called the "Action Guide" http://www.skincareresourcecenter.com/start-your-own-website.html and there are some other free e-books for webmasters as well which I've found very helpful.

Goodluck!

Answer 3

There are Web Crawlers that search out new sites and post them on the different search Engines free, However like everything if you want to pay you can get a better listing.
If you add Meta tags to your pages it will help.
