Lets begin with latter. You can submit your site using Googles submit site tool but amazingly enough this is NOT fastest way to get listed.

Here's secret to getting listed in Google like lightening: PRESS RELEASE'S

Yep issue a press release relating to your website you will see your site in all major search engines in 3 or 4 days. Here's a link to one of my press releases http://pressreleases.newspad.com/pr/20054/pr224817.html

To issue a press release, go to http://prweb.com it's free to do.

To go about writing a press release there are two important things to remember. 1) Think like a journalist; 2) Read previous press releases to get ideas from them. Do both these tasks and you wont go far wrong.

Ok now that your sites in Google how are we going to get a top spot for keywords related to our site. Well I'm afraid to tell you this is no easy process it could possibly take months even years! But with some luck and right tools it is achievable.

There are two keys to getting a high ranking 1) Your Keywords &

2) High Page Rank (Sites that already rank high in search engines) Websites Linking To Your Website

Lets look at keywords first.

So to go about finding keywords we are going to use some free tools

The attraction of Pay Per Click (PPC) online advertising is undeniable. Each click costs virtually nothing, you only pay for clicks you get, and you set your own daily budget so you know exactly how much you’re going to spend. Most importantly, your listing appears instantly.

On other hand, a high ranking in natural search results seems unobtainable. There’s a perception that hundreds of thousands of other businesses are competing for your keywords, and that makes it seem like a real rat-race. And it also seems like such a big mountain to climb; it’s true that it can take months to reach first page for your target keywords. To make matters worse, thousands of opportunistic (and some very dodgy) ‘SEO companies’ have emerged, looking to make a quick and big buck out of market naivety. So to CEOs, BDMs, marketing managers, webmasters, and business owners, road to natural search ranking seems expensive, risky, and beset with traffic.

But does this mean you should forget natural search?

Definitely not!

Firstly, most user studies to date have found that people pay more attention to natural search results because they’re more relevant. That’s foundation of success of companies like Google and Yahoo (and reason they keep their indexing rules a secret).

What’s more, it’s important to put things in perspective. Hundreds of thousands of other businesses may be competing for your keywords, but in most cases, they’re at least as confused and disheartened as you. So sooner you figure out real story, sooner you’ll have jump on them.

And yes, it can take a while to reach top, but because your competition is – for most part – traveling blind, your early progress will normally be quite quick. In fact, for most businesses, it’s not until you reach top few pages that your progress will slow.

And again yes, there ARE some dodgy SEO companies out there. But there are also some very good ones. (Go to WebProNews.com and sign up to a forum if you want to find out who they are.) So long as you know basics of SEO you won’t be taken for a ride. (See SEO for CEOs for a rundown of SEO basics in layperson’s terms.)

But let’s talk bottom line…

Is it more expensive to obtain a high ranking?

Certainly not! In comparison with other forms of advertising – even PPC in long run – reaching top of rankings is NOT expensive. The following case study explains why.
