This way, users who search can easily find you on Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. Keep in mind that site&#8217;s rank higher the longer thy are around, (ie. they are more trust worthy) they have more links pointing to the site than your competitor. If you have a brand new church website and no one ever visits it, chances are that you will not show up when people just type your church&#8217;s name in Google. The best practice is to make your website known to as many people as possible, increasing traffic, links, and pagerank. Make sure you link your church&#8217;s Twitter, Facebook and Youtube account to the website.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nPSRpAvsVyw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"390\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/addurl\/?continue=\/addurl\">Submit your URL\u00a0 to GOOGLE<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com\/submit\">Submit your URL to YAHOO<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/webmaster\/SubmitSitePage.aspx\">Submit your URL\u00a0 to BING<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a Church Twitter account, tweet your church website URL.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a Church Facebook account, include a link to your church website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though Sharfaith&#8217;s church website templates are automatically submitted to search engines, you can still double check that your new church website template gets &#8220;crawled&#8221; (web speak for a search engine finding your site).
