Sitemap, Search Engines, Feed, Ping and Your Blog

Search

When you have a new blog you should do the following: 

 1. Submit your sitemap 

2. Submit your blog to search engines 

3. Submit a feed 

4. Submit ping Sitemap 

When you launch a blog the first thing to do is to submit your sitemap to the four major search engines. They are Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask. When you submit the sitemap of your blog you allow the four biggest search engines to know your entire site. This is also to allow the search engines to identify the pages and content of the site. When your site is indexed it will facilitate search engines to do a better searching job. When someone looks for particular information using certain search words and when the search words match with your keywords the search engine is able to retrieve your content and present it to the searcher. 

Search engines Before you submit your blog or site to search engines you enter your site into their search query. When your site appears in these search results it means your site has been indexed and is not necessary to submit your site again. You can consider submitting your site to Alexa, Cuil, and Wikia besides the four biggest search engines. 

 Feed When you have a feed at your site you allow users to subscribe to your blog posts. You can submit your feed to many feed directories.
