Submit your site to the search engines.
You want to make sure your site is indexed by the search engines. If your site has numerous inbound links from other sites, the Web spiders will find it automatically. Web spiders “crawl” the Internet monthly and update an engine’s database of sites.This is a quicker way of being found by the big three search engines. Rather than just building it and they will come, especially if you are an ecommerce store!
Be warned don’t submit more than once in 24 hours as it may be seen as spamming.
You can promote your web site this way by submitting your URL, homepage and/or content pages.
One way of analysing how many pages have been spidered in your web site is typing “site:www.yourwebsite.com” into Google.
The big three search sites have forms for submitting Web addresses:
Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Yahoo!: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
MSN: http://beta.search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx
