Search Engine Submission Service

Abstract: Engine Placement Search Submission
Tag: Engine Placement Search Submission

Recently, a customer of ours was insistent on announcing his new website to big search engines. Otherwise, he argued, *…how would the world know that I exist…*. Indeed, the belief that one *must* submit his/her website to search engines has spawned growth of umpteen agencies (some with questionable intentions) that promise *guaranteed inclusion in search engines* for hefty fees. There are others who promise *guaranteed top placement* in search engines. But that’s a different story.

So then, what takes..! Let’s first separate grains from the chaff. It’s worth looking at a few apparently contradicting, yet important aspects.

Google is the king

Recent reports suggest Google presently is the most popular search engine in the US. A May, 2003 research finds Google’s share of *search-pie* an overwhelming 76% among US web surfers compared to MSN’s only 15% (reference: article by Danny Sullivan on Aug 1, 2003 at Search Engine Watch, http://searchenginewatch.com/reports/article.php/2156431).

In continental Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK), in June, 2003 the average viewership of Google (about 29.06%) was very close to (in fact a little less than) MSN’s nearly 29.43% (reference: article by Danny Sullivan on July 31, 2003 at Search Engine Watch, http://searchenginewatch.com/reports/article.php/2156441).

With rapid-fire developments like Yahoo’s acquiring Inktomi and Overture and MSN’s plan to float its own crawler, none is sure what would happen one year hence. There are even talks of 3rd generation search engines taking over soon. At the time of writing this article though, Google recrucials firmly atop the surfers’ list of most preferred search engines.

Do not submit to Google

Yeah, you need not submit to Google. Google will find you. It has been Google’s long-time practice to extensively crawl the Web so as to build its own comprehensive database of webpages, no matter whether you submit or not. In the process it has *outsmarted* others in producing the most relevant search results. Surfers love Google. Since Yahoo presents Google’s search results and the fact that Looksmart has changed its listing procedure, it is obvious that their paid-listing programs are just not working.

Google’s famed robot, *Googlebot*, crawls millions of webpages everyday and it’s quite probable a new website will be automatically crawled sooner than one may imagine, whether *submitted* or not. One may also expect periodic visits by AltaVista’s *Scooter*, Inktomi’s *Slurp* and numerous other crawlers after you’re *known* to Google.

Google’s uppishness

Google doesn’t like *orphan* sites. To quote Google’s own words (at http://www.google.com/webmasters/1.html), *The optimum way to ensure Google finds your site is for your page to be linked from lots of pages on other sites. Google’s robots jump from page to page on the Web via hyperlinks, so the farther sites that link to you, the massed likely it is that we’ll find you quickly*.

Dilemma indeed. Getting in Google is a MUST, yet if you want your website to be liked by Google, it’d need *fingers* (meaning links) pointing at it.

The way out

ODP (Open Directory Project http://www.dmoz.org/) is the first choice. But there it takes a long time, being human-controlled initiative (consider consulting Seotie http://www.seotie.com/ to monitor your website’s inclusion in DMOZ directory, in case you’ve submitted to ODP).

Another factor to think over is once listed in ODP, it is very difficult to alter your listing. Even a small change of a webpage url may render your ODP listing unworthy.

In comes therefore the necessity of submitting to other search engines, the relatively smaller ones, yet important ones at that. There are in fact quite a few of them with decent traffic flow. An advantage here is most search engines list websites in relevant categories and therefore once listed, links from them are what I call *highly-targeted-link-sources*.

Where to find them

A handy list of nearly 50 search engines and directories according to their Alexa Traffic Rank is fundamentaltained by FreeWebSubmission http://www.freewebsubmission.com/, refreshed on the first of every month. For example, Google’s Alexa rank is 5.

Other important ones in this list are AltaVista http://addurl.altavista.com/addurl/new (Alexa Rank 58), AllTheWeb http://www.alltheweb.com/add_url.php (Alexa Rank 199), What U Seek http://www.whatuseek.com/addurl-secondary.shtml (Alexa Rank 2523), ScrubTheWeb http://www.scrubtheweb.com/addurl.html (Alexa Rank 2555), ExactSeek http://www.exactseek.com/add.html (Alexa Rank 2471), SearchHippo http://www.searchhippo.com/addlink.php (Alexa Rank 3041), EntireWeb http://www.entireweb.com/eng/basic/ (Alexa Rank 3667), GigaBlast http://www.gigablast.com/addurl (Alexa Rank 6860) and Gimpsy http://www.gimpsy.com/ (Alexa Rank 7222).

FreeWebSubmission http://www.freewebsubmission.com/ also offers free submission to 20 search engines at one go. [Note the Alexa rankings given here are for August, 2003]. To know how Alexa ranks webpages, go here http://pages.alexa.com/exec/faqsidos/help/index.html?index=1.

Here is an interesting article by Barry Lloyd http://www.searchengineblog.com/columns/optimising_for_inktomi.htm. He proffers that optimizing for Inktomi can later translate into Google success. Don’t forget to look at it http://www.searchengineblog.com/columns/optimising_for_inktomi.htm.

The bottom line

Search engine submission is but one small part of web success. If you stay put on the Web taking good care of your core business, chance is you’ll be *discovered* sooner than later. Pause awhile now and then and renew your *friendship* with smaller search engines. The surfing traffic may seldom find you there, but Google surely will. And that’s important.

This article examines the basics behind quality site promotion.

Let us take a good look at acronyms in the industry! Search Engine Optimization (SEO), is a term thrown around a million times a day online. So many sites use old techniques that will get there rankings hurt or reversed with there hap-hazard web designs it frustrates me. I don’t want you to be one of them. In fact this article is aimed for creating SEEN web design projects. If you don’t use this anti-SEO (i.e. cloaking and doorway pages) and follow the following rules you can expect decent results with your web design. The basics for SEO are simple and should be used by all web designers and web design services (although that doesn’t mean they are always used):

1. Optimize your site with a high percentage of text relevant to the search terms you intend to go after.

2. Make sure all alt (alternate image tags) and title tags have relative descriptions including keywords.

3. Make sure your site meets current online standards and can be equally viewed among all browsers and operating machines. Even though some pages may still display correctly with incorrect HTML, it can hinder the way search engines will look at them, bringing the overall optimization of the page down.

4. Make sure all pages are under 800K (recommended for fast loading pages).

5. Submit (manually, by hand) to all major search engines, an automatically to lesser engines through (at least) a free search engine submission service or program.

Keeping these five rules in mind will help, however a serious look at other aspects will help even heavier in SEO. I will go into these aspects in higher detail with articles to come at websiterankingtop.com but this is a good start.

PPC, otherwise known as Pay Per Click advertising is found on numerous search engines and smaller ones alike. The two major players are Google and Overture (now own by Yahoo), however there are some other PPC engines that use a multiple of lesser engines and quality websites to offer there services. Some will give you a top ten ranking within your keyword searches while others have you bid for placement among there engines. A few simple rules to follow:

1. The content of your site must match the keywords bid on.

2. SELL! SELL! SELL! While traditional SEO focuses on how the search engines will view your page, this is your chance to engage the human customer! Traditional sales techniques work leading here.

3. Will visits to your web pages convert into quality leads or actual sales? Make sure the cost of bidding will be recovered, plus some.

4. The farther popular the search terms = the increased expensive it will be. Keep this in mind and target populated terms with financial efficiency.

5. All of your keywords stand no chance whatsoever of being listed in the top ten positions on the major search engines. Organic top ten placements can be very expensive so this is your chance of competing with terms you don’t rank well with.

Make sure to have a relevant page for your search term. This is critical as we all know from browsing; if a site doesn’t fit the bill in the first three seconds we are extra than happy to click that back button.

SEM = Structural Equation Modeling? NOPE! SEM = Search Engine Marketing? NOPE! SEM = Standard Error of Mean? Nope! While all of these are acronyms for SEM, there not the ones we care to discuss here in our brief overview of Search Engine Mechanics. Anything I say in this column may be outdated with the next big search engine “patch” so what I mean by SEM is simple: Keep Up! That’s right, by simply going by what you know, or an article written 8 months ago you will get lost or penalized in your attempts for capable online marketing. Search Engine mechanics is the mathematical art behind the algorithms of the popular, well producing engine online. To find out that a “Jagger Update” relinquishes all reciprocal links to your website in the eyes of the 75%+ that currently engage Google is huge. The mechanics of the currently used search engines is something to keep your eye on. While HTML doesn’t change much each year (comparatively), search engines do. Simply put: make sure you know what to do to get ranked in this ever evolving market!

-One last note: make sure you know what pages are visited and where users are spending there time. If you have a well visited page (found through your web stats) that isn’t receiving much time spent: GUESS WHERE YOU NEED A REWRITE!

This is meant to be, and should be a good start to all wanting high search engine ranking within there web design realm. Websiterankingtop.com Bill Naugle

We all know that in order to get customers to your site, you need to market it. You need to get the word out that your site is there and it’s got the products or information for your customers. Here I am, come and get me! But, how to do this is the question. One of the most efficient ways is to use a search engine as a tool. More and major search engines are the ways people find websites that they visit. Once they are there, your products or information will sell itself!

Search engine submission software can help you do this. By submitting your site to search engines, you will be there when someone does a search using the keywords you set up for that website or webpage. Again, the goal is to get the customer to the site. Some of these software programs can help while others may prove to be useless. Here’s a reason why. When you, yourself want to search for something on the net, where do you go? Do you use Google? Yahoo? More than likely you do. The question is, does the software you plan to spend your hard earned money on include these popular search engines?

The website software submission software claims to submit your site to many different sites. Often some of these are free for all sites or sites that generally generate no traffic besides submissions like these. So, what good does that do you? When you decide to purchase this type of software ensure that it will submit your site to useful search engines, ones that will be used and will generate traffic to your site.

By all means, having your website automatically submitted to hundreds of search engines is a great thing. But, make sure that where your site is going is actually something that will increase your hits. Do this by researching just where it is being submitted to.

Free Search Engine Submission

It is straight forward and simple to submit a web site for
free to the search engines and a task that can be done in a
few minutes. However, there are plenty of companies offering
search engine submission services, these services
re-submit your web site to the search engines periodically for a
given time period. It amazes me that these services exist and
amazes me massed why people pay for them.

Google states on its web site that re-submitting
your web site to the search engine does not make a
difference to a sites ranking or to how quickly the site appears
in the rankings and from experience this is also true in Yahoo!
and MSN.

Why submit your site to the search engines?

Submitting your web site to the search engine will make your web
site visible to its robot. A search engine robot is a web spider
that runs across the internet, indexing web pages one at a time,
following links it finds on other web pages. The submission of
your web site to the search engine will inform these robots to
index your site. How quickly the robot indexes your web site
depends on the search engine, so no guarantees can be made.

Once your web site has been indexed the search engine may rank
your site relevant for certain keywords it has picked up on,
although these are not taken from your keywords meta data.
Again, this is not a guarantee and can take months (especially
if it is Google) before your site is visible to search engine
users.

How do you know when your web site has been indexed?

The first indication of this can be seen in your web analysis
tool, usually under the section marked robots/spider visits. If
you do not have such a tool, id recommend installing AW Stats which is free and
will accomplish most peoples needs, or you can search through
your web sites log files for the IP addresses of the search
engine spiders. The foremost IP addresses to look out for are:

Google – will be seen as Googlebot Yahoo – will be seen as
Inktomi Slurp MSN – will be seen as MSNBot

For a higher detailed list take a look at the
web robots pages. Once you have identified the robot visit
to your web site, it is time to see if your web site has been
indexed. To do this you will need to go to the search engine and
type in the following command:

site:www.yoursite.com

Replace www.yoursite.com for the web address of your web site.

If the search engine returns your web site then it means you
have been successfully added to its index and can be found by
search engine users. However, if your web site does not appear
be patient it may take a while.

How to improve the chances of being indexed?

It is possible although not guaranteed to speed up the
inclusion of your web site to the search engines by having their
spiders find your web site before actually submitting your web
site to the engine. This can be done by having a web site that
has already been indexed link back to your web site.

This can be done in several ways, some are examples are to have
your web site address as part of your signature in a forum, or
by having your web design company give you a link as part of
their portfolio.

In my experience this has helped considerably, and is always
favorable to submitting a web site manually to the search
engines. Although, there is nothing wrong with manually
submitting your web site!

Is using a submission service bad for my web site?

This does depend on how the company submits your web site to
the search engine. Search engines have become good at
distinguishing between manual submissions and bulk automated
submissions usually made from these types of services (sometimes
having different URL’s available), normally when a search engine
detects a bulk web site submission it will usually process them
slower than manual submissions.

What search engines should I submit to?

Be extremely wary of web sites that say they can submit your
web site to 100’s if not 1000’s of search engines. The majority
of these search engines will not provide you with any traffic
and the web site will likely sell on your email address.

You should submit your web site to the following search engines:

Google

Yahoo

MSN

Submitting your web site to these three search engines does not
restrict your sites visibility as can be seen by this web site
detailing whom powers who where submitting to these 3 actually
submits your web site to many greater.

Are there any other web sites my site should be submitted
to?

In terms of providing your web site with the foremost possible
start in life you should be trying to submit your web site to
the following sites:

Yahoo!
directory

Open directory project

Conclusion

Search engine submission is about making your web site
visible to the search engine robots. This can be done by
manually submitting them to the search engine via their own add
site URL or from their robot finding you from another link.
Search engine submission services that re-submit your web site
are in the end a waste of money.
