Informing search engines of a new site

Recently I've opened a blog. Is there a way of informing search engines directly of my new blog, or should I just wait and see whether or not they find me by themselves?

Hi Roee,

you can ping the search engines. Thats the way you inform them that your blog exists.

Depengind on what platform you are using or if your blog is hosted on a free blogs platform you'll need to implement a list of site to ping. I don't believe that free blogs provide pinging

In any event to make sure they'll pick you up concentrate on writing something interesting and you'll get some incoming links - that will do the trick.

Here are the mosti importante site you'll want to ping if you are running your own blog:

http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://xping.pubsub.com/ping
http://pinger.blogflux.com/
http://blogsearch.google.com/ping
http://www.bloglines.com/ping

Cheers,

Sante

Pinging is OK but I am surprised nobody mentioned sitemaps that are now supported by Google, Yahoo! and Ask.com (and I suspect MSN Live quietly parses them too). It's a pretty straightforward way of listing your new site.

If you need more info on sitemaps - ask me and I will give more details (time permitting).

Secondly here is one little SEO trick for you. If you need your site listed quickly in Google - put AdSense block on all of its pages. Funny enough you don't need to keep them permanently, just wait till those pages will get visited by Google AdSense robot. Google Bot will follow soon. BTW it can be any adsense account, not nesessarily yours ;-). I assume the same trick works with MSN and Yahoo Pay-Per-Click programmes.

Another trick that works for Yahoo is RSS feeds. If you site has feeds the way to get noticed by Yahoo is to load feeds from your site into at least one MyYahoo account (by loading I mean subscribing). This should trigger Yahoo Slurp to visit your site.

I hope this helps

I'm even more surprised no one mentioned the fact you need a link from an outside, indexed webpage in order to stay in a search engine index.
