Submit Your URL to Search Engines and Directories
The first thing you want to do after you finished building a site might be submitting the newly constructed site to search engines and directories.
Submitting to search engines makes it quicker for your site to be indexed. (Tip: type “site:yourdomainname” in search box to check whether your site has been indexed, and how many pages). Submitting to directories has two major purposes: 1. Users can get to your site by directories searching/browsing, 2. You can get a high-quality backlink, which in turn helps to increase site popularity.
You can do submission manually, or realize it automatically by some 3rd party tools.
