How To Submit Content To Google
September 22, 2008
Google appear to have beefed-up their content submission – take a look at this new content submission page.
Personally, I’ve not manually submitted a new URL to Google (or Yahoo, MSN) for years as I rely on new sites being found from links elsewhere – but I guess many first-time webmasters do. Possibly of more use are the links to:
- the local business centre
- webmaster central
- google base
I’m having a play with google base myself at the moment – it’s something that’s been on my to-do list for far too long and I’m finally starting to use it. I’m fairly certain that you can’t use it to promote pure affiliate sites though – I’m using it to detail our website design services as a familiarisation exercise.

Google base is a hidden gem so don’t tell too many people – lol! One word of caution though, the traffic levels for new feeds can be quite low. The real benefit is when you get a link at the top of the natural search page.
lol …I wouldn’t worry, unfortunately, my readership isn’t in the thousands!
