How to Submit Site to Google

After completing your blog and postings you have to submit
your blog to the major Search Engines. This is because there
are millions of sites out there on the world wide web and the
search bots/spiders will not come to your site/blog unless you
inform them that a site has been constructed and needs
viewers.

There are millions of sites on the web and viewers nowadays
have to rely on the search engines to inform them of the best
site for the subject they are looking for. Unless you submit
your site to the search engines they will never come to know
of your site/blog.

After submission the search
engines send their spiders to crawl over and index your site
and putit in their cache. These 'spiders' are automated
programs which periodically visit your site to see if you have
made any changes to it.

One advantage of hosting your site on the Blogger platform is
that Google's spiders periodically visit your site. To add
your site to Google head over to :
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps

and sign in with your Google Account. Copy and paste the URL
of your site/blog into the text box at the top for "Add Site"
and click OK. Google adds the site and the next page opens on
which click "Verify your Site". On the next page clickdown
arrow besides "Choose Verification Method". Here select " Add
a Meta Tag" and a metatag is generated for you. Copy and paste
this metatag into your template just below the
<title> </title>
tags. Save the template. Also add this Metatag :

<meta name="robots"
content="INDEX, FOLLOW">

This is so that when Googlebot visits your page it will index
it and follow all the links within it.

Now Go back to Google Sitemaps page and click on Verify
button. Now click on "My Sites" link at the very top of the
page under "Google Webmaster Tools". A page opens up to show a
list of all the sites you have submitted to Google. Click on
"Add a Sitemap" on the same line as your blog/site. The 'Add
Sitemap' Page opens up and click down arrow next to "Choose
Type" and select "Add General Web Sitemap". In the third line
text box under 'My Sitemap url is' paste the feed url of your
blog which is :

http://MYBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml

Instead of 'MYBLOGNAME' type in name of your blog. Click on
Add Web Sitemap Button.
This completes the process of adding the sitemap of your blog
to Google. There is no need to upload any sitemap file to
blogger or to your blog.
If you only want to add your site to Google without adding a
Sitemap go to :
http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Hav fun indexing....
