using keywords that don't apply to your site.
How To Submit Your Pages:
There are basically two ways to get your Web pages indexed:
1. Wait for the search engine to find you by following a link from another site.
2. Go to each search engine and select their submit URL option. This option works, but will
take up a lot of your time if you have many pages to submit.
3. Using search engine submission softwares that make it easy for you to submit to all
search engines at once.
Once you've submitted to the engine, expect to be indexed anywhere from a day or two to 8 weeks. It varies by search engine. It's also common to not be listed at all for no apparent reason. This is why follow up and re-submission are crucial.
Most engines let you submit as often as you like, although some do not allow you to submit the same page more than once per day. However, most let you submit as many as 50 pages or more per day if you like.
Unfortunately, simply submitting your pages is only part of the job. With millions of pages in dozens of search indexes, the odds of many people finding you are still not very good. The main reason that submitting is not enough, is position. It takes some follow up, revision, and resubmitting of your pages to improve your positions on the search engines.
