How to Submit My Site to Search Engines

There are so many search engines but the big 3 are Google, Yahoo and MSN
Within hours of registering your website you'll get emails from companies promising to submit your site to "hundreds" of search engines. Beware of these and Save yourself some money
You can submit your site yourself absolutely free
There is a commonly held belief that a new website built with a new domain will find itself in the "sandbox" for several months. Maybe, maybe not. Either way you won't be found until you the search engines know about you. Get your URL submitted and write the date on your calendar. This way you can at least get indexed. You do not want to submit more than once a month. The search engines will consider this spamming and will ban you from search results.

So the next question is: How do I submit my website to Google
Simply go to Google's add URL page
I've supplied a link here for you
add your web address, including the http://www.
This is important. HTTP stand for hyper text transfer protocol and simply is the way the search engines see your site. If your http has an s after it, https, it simply means that it is secure or encrypted.
Once you submit you can still continue fine tuning your website. Don't resubmit for at least 30 days.
