Although submitting
your blog to the search engines is very similar to submitting your
website, there are several differences that you should be aware of.
Knowing these differences can help you get your blog indexed more
quickly because you have submitted your blog correctly.
Regardless
of whether you are submitting a blog or a website, if you are
submitting to Google, you should create a sitemap. Although you should
check your sitemap periodically to make sure Google isn't encountering
any errors with your sitemap, once you submit it, you don't have to
submit to Google again. All you have to do is keep your sitemap up to
date. Since
Google doesn't allow direct submission to its blog search, you will
need to make sure that you submit your site to blog directories Google
pulls results from for its blog search, and then make sure you ping
these sites when you update your blog.
You can use sites like
Feed Shot, http://www.feedshot.com, to submit your site to some of the
major blog directories. Then you only need to ping your blog to update
it at these directories.
When submitting to Yahoo, you need to
submit your site feed instead of a sitemap. You can submit your blog to
Yahoo here: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request. Instead of
submitting your site, you will use the first block and submit your feed.
You
should also add your blog feed to your My Yahoo page. This can get your
blog added faster and will get your blog included in Yahoo's version of
blog search.
You will need an account to submit to both Yahoo
and Google. It's free. Successfully promoting your blog or website
depends on consistent promotion. Promote regularly, and you will see
results. Read full article at thewebmarketingblog.com
