How to: Submit URL to Google, Bing, Yahoo! and Ask?
The first step to getting your site online and to get better rankings in Google is to submit your URL to search engines. An example of an URL is www.yoursite.com. Eventually the search engines will find your site but this will help expedite the process.
Once you submit your URL, it could take several days, weeks, or months for the search engines to index your page(s). Results may vary so don’t write this in stone. Factors such as other websites pointing to your site can affect this time as well.
Like this:
SITEMAP: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml URL of your sitemap here
The sitemap location should be the full sitemap URL.
That’s it! Once you complete the above steps, just sit back and be patient. It takes time for the search engines to index your pages. If you submit more than once, some search engines may consider this spamming which could result in not indexing your site at all.
Also note that you do not have to add all of your URL addresses for your entire site. For example, you do not need to add http://beklingratis.blogspot.com/p/abouts.html and http://beklingratis.blogspot.com/p/contacts.html. Simply enter the home page URL and let the engines do the rest.

Submit your Sitemap to Ask **Updated: August 2012**
Ask does not have an URL submit feature. Until recently, you could submit your sitemap to them. But Ask.com has now retired this feature and says they will be crawling sites instead. So, the next best thing is to add a directive in your robots.txt file that specifies auto-discovery of the XML sitemap.Like this:
SITEMAP: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml URL of your sitemap here
The sitemap location should be the full sitemap URL.
That’s it! Once you complete the above steps, just sit back and be patient. It takes time for the search engines to index your pages. If you submit more than once, some search engines may consider this spamming which could result in not indexing your site at all.
Warn: Do Not Use an Automated Submission Program!
Using an automated submission program to submit to multiple search engines at once may be considered spam attempts and is frowned upon by search engines such as Google.Also note that you do not have to add all of your URL addresses for your entire site. For example, you do not need to add http://beklingratis.blogspot.com/p/abouts.html and http://beklingratis.blogspot.com/p/contacts.html. Simply enter the home page URL and let the engines do the rest.
