Search Engine Submission, Part I

What you need to know about search engine submission, Part I
by Terry Stanfield

If your website has not been indexed by the search engines
you will not come up in the search results. When you search
the "web" using Google, Yahoo or MSN's search tools, you're
not searching the Internet you are searching the search
engines databases.

When a site is submitted to the search engines the search
engines uses software called "spiders" to crawl the pages of
your website through your internal site navigation and
captures vital information about each page and in puts it
into their database.

The information captured include Meta tags, content, H1
tags, Alt tags, sites that you link to and sites that links
back to your site. The Meta tags are at the top of your web
page in the code. They are in what is called the header. The
Meta tags are very important to the search engines because
they tell them what is on the page. Along with the H1 tags
Alt tags and the content in the body of the text on the web
page this gives the search engines the information they need
to index or put into their database your web page. It is
very important that your Meta tags are specific to each page
of your site. Do not just copy and paste the same Meta tags
to every page on your website. There's a big explanation
from that old and that later. There are several ways to get
web pages into the search engines a database (indexed).

Submit your site to the different search engines. There are
a lot of sites, for small fee, that will take your indexed
pager homepage and submit it to hundreds or thousands of
search engines over and over every month for the rest of
your life. Run don't walk away from the sites. If you keep
trying to submit your site, especially to Google, Yahoo and
MSN, this may appear to them as spam. Spammy is bad! I
suggest that you do not even register with Google, yahoo or
MSN unless you have 6 to 9 weeks to sit around and wait for
your website to be indexed.

In part II, we will reveal the secrets of getting fast, safe
submissions.
