Url Submission
Tips:
1.When Submitting Your Website Make Sure that you submit your whole homepage URL..For Example..Your Website is http://businessoutbreak.com but your homepage URL is http://businessoutbreak.com/default.aspx. You want to be sure to add the Default.aspx to your URL when you submit it, or else search engines could come across an error while crawling your Website.
2.If a keyword is not on your page, do NOT put it in the title, description or keywords. Many, many people do this, and it can be extremely damaging to your promotion efforts. All it will do is water the theme of your page down, and the search engines will be scratching their heads (if they had one they would) wondering who to show your page too.
3.If you do know a word or phrase that is very common, and you want to use it, then you need to make sure that it is in your title, description and keywords 'as well' as on your page several times. Therefore you will most likely need to re-edit your content as well, (not just the Meta Tags).
4.Don't try and trick search engines. They're not as silly as they once were and they're getting smarter every day. Example: Don't repeat text hundreds of times, making it the same color as the background. Search engines woke up to this a long time ago. Basically, just be honest. The time you waste trying to be "tricky" would be better spent working on your site, content and REAL promotion efforts. ie: Ones that actually work.
5.Keep your title, description, keywords and content specific. Many people try to add too many words and phrases all over the place. Imagine for a moment that you are lost and you need to ask for directions. If you were told to "drive under the bridge, past the green house on the left, over the little bump, past the red mail box, you'll see a house with a white gate and then you'll need to pass a school crossing and then turn left" would you look at the person with a blank face (providing that you continued to listen to the person)? Probably! However, if the person said: "Take your next left" it would be much more helpful, yes? So, you need to keep specific. Use as many informative words as you can to keep a "theme". Don't go overboard.
