How To Submit Your Blog On MSN
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Anyone can very easily create his/her own blog. A blog can be created for free on blogging websites, or you can buy a domain to host it. The real work starts after the creation of blog; you need to submit it on search engines and blog directories.
Blog submission is just like website submission, but there are technical differences which we will discuss here. Google, Yahoo, and MSN are three major search engines on internet; this article will cover the ways about submitting your blog on these search engines.
Google crawler likes sitemap to index pages, so your blog should have sitemap.It is advisable to go through your sitemap every now and then to see if it has any error. You only need to submit your blog once on Google; you don’t need to submit again, but do not ignore your sitemap.
If your blog is hosted on Wordpress, you can install Wordpress sitemap plugin to automatically update and notify it to Google. Google offers free sitemap creation tools, so do not worry if your hosting website does not offer you any software. Sitemap is not a hindrance to submit your blog on Google Webmasters. Google drags results from blog directories, so it is good to submit your blog on these blog directories, and ping your site when you revise your blog. There are many websites which offer you this service, but Feed Shot is the most powerful website which submits your blog on main blog directories.
Yahoo works differently than Google. Yahoo asks for site feed instead of sitemap to submit your blog. To index your blog quickly on Yahoo search engine, you need to add your blog feed on your ‘My Yahoo’ page.
Now let’s talk about MSN which is the third biggest search engine after Google and Yahoo. MSN works differently; you can directly submit your blog on MSN, and for this you do not need an account. Submission of blog on MSN is a manual process in which you are required to enter the characters on the page for successful submission. Another way to submit your blog on MSN is to submit it on ‘Moreover’ news site because MSN pulls a lot of results from this site.
After you successfully submit your blog on Google, Yahoo, and MSN search engines, you should ping your blog every time you update it. Ping process should only be initiated if you are sure that you have submitted your blog on all the listed directories.
These are some of the tips to submit your blog on search engines. Afterwards, you need to promote it on consistent basis by writing press releases and articles, and submit them on press release and article directories. This is the best way to pull traffic to your blog.
