When you are finished creating your website do not have the misconception that potential customers will be able to find you. Unless you submit your website to the search engines the only visitors you will have are those who find your website because you have provided it to them in some way. In order for your website to come up in a search you must submit the URL to the search engines or potential customers will be unable to find your website. You will find many different options for website submissions with prices that vary from free submissions to several hundred dollars.
If you are on a tight budget and plan to use one of the free submission services, you want to be careful which one you choose—some only submit to about twenty of the search engines while others will submit to as many as forty. This saves you from having to individually submit to his search engine and allows you to easier track which search engines are placing your website in their databases. The other thing of which you need to be aware is the free submission services usually require you to place a banner on your website in exchange for them submitting your website.
If your budget allows for premium submission services you also have many different options. The price for website submission will vary based upon many factors including the number of search engines to which the service will submit your website. The more expensive ones will submit to over 600 search engines in addition to thousands of directories. This provides the most exposure for your website and thus gives you the best opportunity for increasing visitors to your website.
When you submit your website to the search engines you want to ascertain how long your URL will remain in the active database. While some search engines only require re-submissions every few months, some will keep you in their database until you request removal. If you aren't certain about the policies of each search engine, you can attempt to read all of them every few months—they will notify you if you are already in their database. You should submit your website to as many of the search engines and directories as possible in order to gain the most exposure for your website. If potential customers can't locate you in a search you will not have additional visitors to your website to create more sales.
