Introduction
The Google search engine is the most widely used in the world when it comes to looking for online information. Although other search engines such as Yahoo and Bing are also great search engines, submitting your website to Google improves your site's chances of appearing on search results. To add Google and improve your online presence, have a look at these simple tips.
Step 1
The first thing you have to do is to submit your URL to Google since you are sure that the search engine has a big presence on the net, if not the biggest. Nearly every user in the world uses Google as a search engine and every website owner wants to add Google on their site. To add Google, go to Google.com and look for the submit content function.
Step 2
This will take you to a page where you have 4 options, to add google on your website and make it visible for searchers and engines. You can submit your URL as a website or business owner. If you are a blogger or have a site on any topic, you’ll probably fall in the website owner category. Business owners are those selling goods and services on the net, so that’s another area, too. There are other 2 categories such as publishing and media and public agency or NGO. If you have books that are published, add Google to your website. Your books and published materials will be included in the Google bookstore making it visible to searches. When you add Google, it will also inform you of current news and video related to publishing. Public agencies and NGOs that wish to improve their visibility and promote their programs will also benefit to add Google on their websites.
Step 3
Once you have decided which of the 4 categories suit your website or online content the best, check the participate button. On this page, it will give you three forms of increasing your visibility and optimizing search queries related to your site on the Google search engine.
Step 4
Add Google by submitting your URL so that the site will be recognized when queries are entered using keywords that are present in your online content. There is a Captcha code that you have to enter when submitting the URL. You will then get a message saying that the request has been received.
Step 5
As a website owner, you can add Google to your site in different ways. Include rich snippets of your site. These are the few lines that you see on the search results when you enter a Google query. It’s like a summary of your website and gives searchers an idea of how your site is relevant to their search queries. You can add html tags yourself and use the tools offered by Google such as the rich snippets testing tools.
Media content is another way to add Google and improve your visibility by publishing and syndicating online video. Upload and distribute video on You Tube to help market your website on the Google search engine. You can even monetize You Tube videos.
Tips
Back links are also known to improve a website’s presence to internet users. Whenever you add Google to your site, you should also think of creating back links. Market and promote your website by participating in forums and if allowed by the moderator and website owner, leave a back link. Your comments should be helpful, not just a dropping a line in exchange for a back link.
