PART TWO
Many companies offer to submit to large numbers
of search engines for a fee. This approach can get your website into some of
them and you may even get traffic, but from which ones and is it good traffic?
Probably not. When you drop out of a search engines database (and you will every
now and then because of data refreshing), how do you know which to resubmit to
and when, if you don't even know which ones you are in?
Search engine professionals know that the vast
majority of these search engines have a very low usage rate and will drive
hardly any traffic your way. In fact, it's only a handful of search engines that
drive the majority of traffic from search engines to websites.
The major search engines
Some of the most important search engines, probably accounting
for over 90% of the search engine market, are:
Not heard of some of these search engines? Have a look at who
powers who with this excellent
search engine relationship chart.
“But there's only six of
them - why on earth not!?” Well,
aside from saving time and a bit of money (some require a submission
fee), quite simply there's no need. Allow me to explain...
Search engines crawl the web every few weeks (or
months) looking for websites to index. Here's how it works:
- Search engines start at one website with a
large number of outbound links (usually a directory)
- They follow every link they
come across, indexing each page they arrive at
- Once a page has been indexed they follow all
the links from that page
- And so on until there are no more links to
follow
Unless today is your very first day on the
Internet, you might have heard that inbound links into a website are
extremely important in establishing its search engine ranking. If a
search engine can't find you by itself through crawling the web,
then your website doesn't have any inbound links. If so, you'll
never achieve a decent search engine ranking so
what's the point in registering?
So, how do you get incoming links?
Well, this is a vast topic which I won't be discussing now, but if
you want to get a few good links quickly then there is a solution:
web directories. If your website is listed in the
Yahoo! directory
(not the same as Yahoo! search) and the
Open Directory
(which Google uses) all the search engines should find you within
two to three months.
There are plenty of other directories you should
get listed in too. Global, local and industry-specific directories
abound on the Internet. To find them run a search for ‘web
directory’ on your favorite search engine. The directories that come
up highest in the search rankings will probably generate the most
traffic. You can also check these directories of directories:
Another even quicker solution is webmaster forums.
Search engines love forums because they include so
much fresh content. Most have an area where you're allowed to enter
your URL to get
feedback from other webmasters.
Find some forums, sign up, and get posting!
To find out more about building up links to your
website please read the article,
Build up links to your website.
Since some search engines become angry if you
submit too often and throw you off altogether (they see it as spamming), we only
go back to them, once indexed, every four weeks to resubmit your website.
Submit
your website URL to 40+ auto search engines, all for free. Why
spend several hours submitting your site manually to each search
engine, while you can submit your URL from one place to all of them
just by filling out one simple form that only asks for your web site
URL and email address. Your URL will automatically be submitted to
several top search engines such as: Lycos, HotBot, Google, Alexa,
etc. CLICK
