Submission Tips
We all know that if you dont have traffic,
you`re website is dead. Search Engine submission is an important factor
that could help make your business succeed online. In order to get the best
results from search engines follow the web site submission tips.
Before you start the process of submitting
your web site to all the major search engines, make sure that you have
optimized your web pages and checked your site thoroughly.
Guidelines while submitting to Directories
- Make sure your site is 100% up and running, with no "under
construction" signs. Good site design, fast loading pages, and content are
important, especially for Yahoo.
- From the homepage of a directory take your time and find the appropriate
category your site fits into. You can do a keyword search using your
most important keywords or key phrases and note the category that lists these
sites. That will probably be the best category for your site. You may also
have multiple categories, in which case you must submit under all the
suitable categories.
- Once you have found a suitable category, look out for a "Suggest a
site" or an "Add URL" link. Click on this link to submit your site.
- Before rushing off to submit your site, carefully read their suggestions
on how to submit. They REALLY mean it. Follow their instructions to
the absolute letter.
- Since Directories do not use robots, everything indexed into a directory
is done by people. No META tags, ALT image tags, HTML comments or
image maps will help your performance here. Your best bet is to describe your
site accurately and the final decision of adding your web site to a
directory's database rests with the editor who reviews your web site. Best of
luck!
Major search engines which will drive
approximately 90% of visitor traffic to your site. These are the search engines
that you need to focus on getting listed in. We have given tips on submitting
to these search engines and have provided links to their 'Add URL' pages. All
you have to do is read our tips, click on our links and submit your site to the
top search engines. It's that simple. You'll be finished in just an hour or
two.
Google is our favorite. It makes heavy use of link popularity as a primary
way to rank web sites. This can be especially helpful in finding good sites in
response to general searches such as "cars" and "travel," because users across
the web have in essence voted for good sites by linking to them. The system
works so well that Google has gained widespread praise for its high relevancy.
Google also provides some results to Yahoo, AOL and Netscape Search. Submit
only your homepage URL. It will automatically index the entire site.
Still a Net favorite, Google is used more than 150 million
times a day for searches. Free submission is still an option. They recently
launched their own "Pay Per Click" program, called "Ad Words Select." This
allows you to bid on key phrases or words, and when someone searches for those
words, your text ad is shown in the right-hand column on the search results
page. For more on this go to:

Ad Words Select will cost you 5.00 and a credit card number
to get your site enrolled. Google is also the exclusive provider of sponsored
links to AOL Search, pulling the sponsored links from its Ad Words Select
Program. The top 3 ads will be displayed as sponsored links on AOL.Netscape
will begin displaying Google's Ad Words sponsored links come August of 2002

Yahoo Directory
Yahoo is without a doubt the single most important index on the Internet.
Make sure you follow the guidelines given above and Yahoo's submit page
instructions while submitting your site. The effort you put in now will reap
huge benefits in the long run.
With over a million listings, Yahoo is considered the
largest directory online today. All commercial sites must pay a $299.00 fee to
submit to "Yahoo Express" per year. Adult sites must pay $600.00 for
submission. Take time before submitting to yahoo to make sure you web site is
worthy of their listings. The $299 is a annual non refundable fee.
Paying Yahoo for submission is not the only way to get listed
there. They also pull the top three bid positions from Overture (formerly
Goto.com) and display them at the top of the search results pages. Yahoo calls
those listings "Sponsor Matches,"and also runs more Overture listings at the
bottom of the page, under the heading "More Sponsored Matches."
Submit carefully!
