Let the world know your blog exist!

Do you wonder after we set-up our blog and even with few posting our blog did not appears in search engine? This is because the search engine did not know that our blog exist. So after we are ready to make our blog known to public, we should submit our blog address/url to the search engines.

For beginners, i suggest to submit to this two main search engine, Google and Yahoo, you can add ur blog address to other search engine however i feel it is not necessary. I've tried do search in AOL, their search result based on Google search engine, I've tried excite.com, their search result based on Yahoo search engine. So looks like these not so popular search engines rely on google and yahoo, for me why bother to submit to them if i submit to these two is enough. So i highly recommend you guys to submit your blog URL to these two main search engine.

http://www.google.com/addurl/
http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

Once you submitted your blog URL, it will take few days for these search engine to know your blog existence. This free submission will not guarantee high rankings in the result unless you type in specific keyword of your blog.

Let say if your blog is name "mytravelblog", if you search for "travel blog" either in Google or Yahoo, your blog will not appear in the first few pages. Maybe at last page of the search result probably.

However if you type "mytravelblog", chances that it will appears in the search engine, but who will type that specific blog address unless the owner itself?

So my suggestion is, rich your blog with contents and posts then submit ur blog URL, then the chances for it to appears in search result will be much higher, on the example that i gave, if other net users type "travel", you will be easily be seen by them.

Good luck...
