If you just created a website, have your taxonomy/URL structure ready to go and are wondering what to do now, first things first, submit your URL to search engines to crawl.

• Google
  Every search engine wants you to have an account with them for you to be able to submit your site. Google requires a Google account, how novel. Once you have an account go to Webmaster Central and sign into webmaster tools. Go ahead and add your site then make sure to verify it. I find the easiest way is simply to add the meta tag into the html head tag. It should go in the head section, before the first body section. Webmaster tools has some other options to look into such as location targeting… go ahead and explore the tools Gman is offering.
• Yahoo
  Yahoo wants you to have a Yahoo account… so if you don’t yet, go ahead and get one, then sign in at Yahoo Site Explorer and submit your webpage. You’ll have a couple options on how to verify the site, as always, adding a meta tag to the header seems easiest, especially for WordPress sites.
• Bing
  For Bing you will need a Microsoft hotmail account then sign in here: http://www.bing.com/webmaster. You will have the option of uploading a file to your site or simply adding a meta tag to the header, sounds familiar huh.

If your site is established definitely submit it to DMOZ.org and make sure to follow their guidelines for submission… they’re stricter than most.

Want more? There are thousands of directories on the net, start submitting your site to the free ones and get noticed (watch that pagerank appear ).
