Abstract
In order to be seen and visualized on any computer connected to the Internet, Web sites should be published. In
this paper, the authors present the procedure for publishing Web sites by cPanel X and FTP component of Adobe
Dreamweaver CS3. Reference and indexing of Web sites are presented too, as well as the last stages before site
publication: the insertion of metainformations, the checking of links.
THE LATEST STAGES BEFORE SITES PUBLICATION
After you've managed to create a Web site, you should make it known on the net for to be visited by as many
visitors.
Before the publication of the site, we have taken some steps, as important as the effective publication of the
site as: the insertion of metainformations; checking of site compatibility verification with more browses;
checking of links.
The insertion of metainformations
For insertion of metainformations on the pages of the Web site, we recommend using a WISIWYG editor
(What You See Is What You Get), Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 (the latest Dreamweaver version).
Table 1 show two methods of inserting (Insert menu, Insert Group panels) for keywords, descriptions and
personalized tags.

The publication of Web sites by cPanel X
The first step to create a public Web site is to find a Web hosting service, which means a company that
provides a space on a computer which is connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

THE REFERENCE AND INDEXING OF SITES
After you've managed to create a web site, you will need to make known on net by reference, indexing for be
visited by as many visitors.
Reference

The reference represents the operation whereby your site becomes known by people. There are two types of
references: manual and automatic.
The manual reference is the operation through which we will address a reference form at search. Thus, you
must fill in a form which contains the URL page that you want to reference and an e-mail address.
The manual reference is recommended for main searches as (Google, Yahoo etc).
The automatic reference runs by a program that allows the inserting of your pages in a set of searches on
Internet.
Thus, you must to specify the URL, the list of preferred searches and automatic reference program that you
accept.
The automatic reference is recommended for small searches, less known and used by most of Internet users.
Note. To website address http://marketing-internet.com/services/referencement.html you’ll discover the
possibility to reference free your pages in 2000 yearbooks, 4 on each day, filling in a single form (see Figure 10).
Obviously, you can choose yearbooks and searches that you want (as Marie Prat, Référencement de votre site
Web. Google et autres moteurs de recherches, Edition ENI, 2008, pag. 141).
Figure 10
The items that you must have as overview at reference are following: the occupied position of your pages in
the results of publication; the criteria by take place the reference, the place where you reference your site; the
registration of site in yearbooks (reviews of site publishing); the registration of site in Google, Yahoo, etc..
According to a study realized by specialists (see http://www.prweb.com/ releases/2005/3/prweb213516.htm),
was proved that the majority of eye activity occurs for the first three positions from the top of page that appears
in list, and after that the visibility dramatically decrease. Thus, for the first three positions the visibility is 100%,
and decrease to 50% for the 6th position and 20% for the 10th position. Knowing that for an easy search on
Google, we can obtain over 20.000.000 of valid responses (see []), means nearly 1000.000 of response pages,
and we can say about the interest of position site in the first pages of search.
For a web page to be priority allow for, must to know two criteria: one about the own content of page (title,
keyword, description, etc.) and the second one as exterior content, so-called Popularity value.
When you are asked “where referenced your site?” you must know about the major reference ways in
autochthon language.
Notes:
The site www.searchenginecolossus.com we propose a list of searches classified by countries.
The sites http://barometre.secrets2moteurs.com and www.sistaqt.net/panorama/ provides the data about the
frequency of visiting of searches and the publishing reviews of sites (yearbooks).
The reference by publishing reviews of sites (yearbooks) is very specific. The databases of yearbooks
comprise the descriptive files for each site, the files you sent at reference time, being examined by specialists of
yearbooks. When the form is accepted, you will connect to yearbook, choose the subcategory where you want to
reference your site, choose a second subcategory, and then ask for the reference by filling in the application
form.
Note. If your site is in the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.fr), you'll too be in the Google Directory
(http://directory.google.com) for a certain period of time.

The reference of searches is automatic. A robot is loaded to finish your application form.
If you choose the Google search and have a link to a page already indexed by Google, the robot will follow this
link and will get to your page by indexing in database, without you know this! If the link is located on a page
with a Page Rank high index of position between the first pages of search results (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank), your page will have good opportunities to be visited and indexed
quickly.
Another method for registering the site in Google search consists in fill in the application form by Google.
For this purpose go index page http://www.google.com/dirup, activate Submitting_a_Site link, then run through
four steps. Certainly, you will be able to suggest the reference of your site by the Open Directory Project!
Indexing
With the reference requirement of your Web pages, these will be indexed in the databases of yearbooks
searches. For to optimize your reference request we will recommend using robots.txt files and Google Site Map.
Notes:
Details about using the file robot.txt found at website: www.robotstxt.org/ wc/norobots.html and
www.searchtools.com/robots/robots-txt.html.
Details regarding Google Site Map found at website: http://www.google.com /support/webmasters and

THE MAINTENANCE OF SITE
If the content of information is out of date, is compulsory to proceed for regularly updating of pages of your
site.
Make the adequate changes and then publish the new pages, replacing old ones.
CONCLUSIONS
Web sites publication using tools such are cPanelX and HTP component of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, as
well as referencing and indexing of web sites, are sustained in the frame of the present paper by original
procedures that could be applied immediately to whom it may concern.
