Search Engine Submission

Before going into how we can help you with Search Engine Submission, let us explain some terms. Many people will intermix the terms search engine submission and search engine optimization. However these are two very specific activities related to your web site, and we have experience in both of these areas. Search Engine Submission is the act of getting your web site listed with search engines, think of this as sending in a registration for your web site to be listed on a search engine. Getting registered means exactly that, the search engine will add your site to its list of web sites. Just being listed does not mean that you will rank well for particular terms. It just means that the search engine knows that your site does exist.

There are two important components of Search Engine Registration

1. Submitting Site to Search Engines
2. Links from Other Sites

Submitting Site to Search Engines

There are many services on the web that will charge a hefty fee to submit your website to thousands of search engines. This is not a cost effective way of getting your site listed. These services typically have one goal, and that is to send your site into the search engine submission process and that is where the process typically stops. We can get your site submitted the correct way, when the time is right. There are many important factors to consider in submitting your site to search engines. One of the most critical is timing, as you do not want to submit your site until it is in an optimal state for being added. Another important factor is not to "flood" search engines with multiple submissions. This can have a negative impact on your site. We have experience with this process, and also are going to work with you on your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so we can coordinate to insure that you do not have to spend extra time or money to get your site submitted to search engines.

Links from Other Sites

Even if you never submitted your web site to be added to a search engine, there is still an important method to consider in how your web site can get listed on search engines. If any other page on the internet has a link to your page, then search engine spiders will crawl out to your site and your site can be added to that search engine through the spider. This is a large component of how the World Wide Web is built, as search engines continually look for new sites that are added or modified.

Timing is very important as to how your site gets crawled by search engine spiders. You want your site to get crawled as early as possible, but you want to be set up correctly when this happens the first time. This is where we can help, we can set up a robots.txt file to prevent your site from being crawled prior to it being ready. Then with our additional design worl, we can insure that your site will not be crawled until there is a consistent methodolofy applied to your site keywords, site index, and meta tags. This way when your site starts getting crawled, you can be in control of sending a consistent message to the search engines about your site, when you are ready.
