Search Engine Submission

Since your website was created many changes have occurred in the complex and confusing world of Search Engines. With Yahoo! purchasing Inktomi and Overture purchasing AltaVista and FAST, it is now even more difficult to get a top position in these search engines. You have got to leverage yourself above your competition in order to exceed in this ever changing search engine arena.

Many of the Search Engines now charge a fee for guaranteed inclusion. The submission price is not for a top position, it’s simply for a listing in the index itself. Believe it or not, some of them will take your money, guaranteeing only that your site will be "reviewed" — not listed. And you could be dropped at a later date for "spamming" or other violations. Robot type search engines (the most important of all) will fetch all this information from your Web pages so you better have a search engine friendly Web page to start with. Paying the search engines to get listed doesn’t give you a high ranking. First and foremost you must have a Search Engine friendly site.

Before your site is resubmitted to Search Engines the first step is to make sure your source codes are Search Engine friendly for "Robots" and "Spiders". When properly constructed we can actually control how these robots display your Web page in their search engines. With the proper source code you can have the robot display your Web page description the way you want it displayed (within reason of course). You can also help people find your Web page by providing keywords that describe your page and help drive traffic to your Web site. However, the restrictions on source codes have become more demanding and using all those key words allowed just a few years ago can now get your website dropped for spamming.

Based on my research using the latest recommendations and software, my analysis will include the following:

General HTML Analysis: Basic HTML Syntax Checking / Duplicate Tag Detection
HTML Title Tag Analysis: Syntax Checking / Oversize Checking / Multiple Title Tag Detection
META Tag Analysis: Syntax & Oversize Checking / META Tag Spam Detection / Multiple META Tag Detection

Once all of that is completed and all errors and optimizing accomplished, your website will be submitted to the following Search Engines:

• Alta Vista • Gigablast • Completeplanet • Google • Try America • AIT Mall • Aesop.com • ah-ha.com • ExactSeek • Jayde Online • Scrub The Web • 2kcity • whatUseek • Starting Point • inktomi • REX Splat! • Web Trawler • Google Canada • verygoodsearch • Wheredoifind.com • Northern Light • Alexa • micro2media • goisearch • Aeiwi • Intelseek • Nerd World Media • alltheweb • compilers.net • searchit.com • AltaVista UK • jadoo.com • Entireweb.com • W8 Search • Claymont • Websquash • Google UK • SparkSearch.com • Cozycabin • TrueSearch • Traffic Auction • SearchAve.com • Bingo Crawler • PeachPod • Prime Find • Beamed Search • Yahooligans! • OneSeek Website • Find Mylisting.com • A2Z Solutions • Abacho • Acoon • Access NZ • TheYellowPages.com • Voila Mirago • About Australia • Wombat
