personally i wouldn't bother submitting to the search engines directly, directories are fine, but get yourself some incoming links and the se's will pick up your site from them.

Inbound links are the most important as they get the bots to your site and provide anchor text to help you start ranking.

Also make sure you have a robots.txt and sitemap.xml, verify the site with Yahoo and Google and let them know about your sitemap.

Definitely submit the URLs (plural) to Google. Do it by hand, don't get scammed by using submission software or services.

Submission to DMOZ is also good.

Finally, Google has lots of advice for webmasters in their webmaster tools section.

ya thanx all

I have read quite a few posts on the site in order to determine what is going on with my new site's traffic.

First, the site was indexed about one month ago (about 1000 pages) and traffic went overnight to about 100 visitors per day for a few days. It then went down to two or three visitors per day, went back up for a few days to about 50 visitors and it has now been down to three or four visitors per day since then (about ten days).

All pages are unique and about the same amount of pages have been indexed througout this period of time (when doing a site:mysite.com search, I get about 1000 each day I checked).

I put a lot of effort in creating unique content and great graphics (I know images are useless to search engines but I don't like mediocre looking sites!).

Is this a typical pattern for a one month old + site?

Is Google still trying to figure out what my site is worth? It's very frustrating to observe those fluctuations in traffic pattern.

Any feedback well appreciated.

I understand your concern.

Well, it all depends upon various things..
- which domain(industry) you are in
- what is the competition
- how long the website has been there
- do you have quality content or not
- how many quality inbound links do you have

Thanks and regards

Is this a typical pattern for a one month old + site?

Yes. It's even typical for sites much older than that. Work on building trust. Until Google trusts your site, you can expect lots of ups and downs (and ins and outs).

hello all,

I have a new site initially it was not indexed, but after creating the sitemap.html google has indexed our some pages and placed into supplemental result. But before few days it has removed our supplemental pages from its index. only home page is in index.

Please, Can you people advice me what to do next?

Hi,

Well, Google refreshes its database after 2-3 months.. and incase if your site was not cached during these 3 months, then Google has every right to remove your pages.. cause pages become supplement in case they are not cached by Google for last 4-5 months..

I should say if you are not optimizing your website, start doing it now.. or look for someother SEOer.

This is completely normal for a new site. Don't worry about it. Keep developing a great web site that users love and will link to, market the heck out of it, and the search engines will catch up. SEO is a long-term process. If you need instant traffic, consider buying PPC ads.

Many Thanks to you all for giving your valuable information.

No Problems Ajay..

I wud suggest.. in case u plan for PPC, being a shortcut to attract the traffic, make sure you also start with SEO as well..
By the time, You'll start getting good and relevant traffic, your website would also be in a good status(compare to what it is now).

Thanks and regards

Dear,

you just try to make proper interlinking of your site pages this is very useful and can enhance probability of indexing.
Next this make site map and xml site map submit these site map in google and yahoo.

start web promotion for that pages, link exchange and directory submission.

My new website got into google in 1 day (please don't laugh). I still don't know what and how that happened. I planned to list it after two months of adding content. My previous submissions with well constructed sites with 100+ pages took over 4 months to get listed so I decided to listed it one day while I updated the site.

It had 7 pages. I submitted it and presto!. First 24 hours the and index page appears. After 48, all the pages. I really don't know what happened.

Another website of mine points to this new site but those pages are still NOT published and not reachable in any way (non public redesign hidden on sub folders). So this does not explains it. Those pages are not on google.

On another hand I bought two domains (never existed before) and one is already on google now (index page with no content, only "soon a new blah blah". Never submitted and didn't wanted listed there yet.

I checked the referrers and found traces of a whois, nothing else. Really don't know whats going on...

Hello, I'm waiting for my site to get indexed (it's been few weeks, I just submitted one thing, the url www.mynewsite.com) Do I need to create a sitemap.htm for my site and index all the url pages I have to make an impact?
