How to Submit Your Page to Search Engines

Once you publish your website, you'll want people to find it when they search for your keywords. However, before your page will show up in search engines, search engine spiders must index it. Eventually, the spiders will find your website on their own and index them. However, that could take weeks or months, and you want people to find your site now. To expedite the process of getting your website to show up in search results, you need to submit your page to the major search engines.
