When you submit your site to search engines, there are a few things to know that will help you get listed and get the best rankings. META tags are by far the most important element to add to your website. Use META keywords and description tags on all of your pages. They tell search engines about your content.
Important to Know Before You Submit a Site
In addition to that, the words in your site title are also very important. If somebody searches for your keywords, and the words are in your title and your META tags, your site will probably rank higher than a site that only has the keyword in either the META tags or the title. Therefore, optimize your title before you submit your site to engines and indexes.
Another idea is to use ALT image tags. You should be using your ALT tags anyway to make your site accessible to people with disabilities. Search engines cannot see your images either! So when you use ALT tags, they can index the entire page, including the keywords you represent to describe your images.
Once you submit your site, wait a few weeks or months to see if you get listed. Do not re-submit your site repeatedly. Once you are indexed, assess your rankings. You can then begin tweaking your site to improve your rankings on the search engines.
