Once you buy a domain name and get hosting, you should notice that your website does not show up in search results. Your website’s success depends on you getting your site into the search results of Google, Bing, Yahoo, and many more. Not only do you have to get your site into the results, but you also have to get them to rank high. You will have to use SEO (search engine optimization) to get your links to rank high in search results. We have laid out the following tutorial to show you how to do everything I’ve been talking about above.
- Submit to Google
Submitting to Google is a very easy thing to do. You can submit your site with or without making a webmaster account. I do suggest making an account, as it gives you better control.

- SEO (search engine optimization)
Though using SEO on your website includes more detailed than what we’re going to say, this will still help. A good way to start is to have good meta tags on your posts. Most website management systems make this process very easy. You should be able to add a description and tags to your post while your writing it. Just make sure to add good, relevant tags and you should be good to go.
