Why
should I submit to search engines and directories?
Because search engines and directories are
the main sources of traffic for almost every
website. Submitting to directories will also
boost your link popularity which is an extremely
important factor for your site's ranking on
search engines.
How
long does it take for the search engines
to list my site?
It is entirely up to each search engine or
directory. A few search engines index a site
almost immediately. Some engines can take 6-12
weeks or longer and some may fail to list your
site.

What
is a meta tag?
META tags are used by some search engines to
determine the ranking of your site in their
search results. You can read more about them here.
Do
I need meta tags?
Yes, and the most important "tag" is
the title, followed by the description "tag".
You can learn more about them here.
Which
search engines and directories do you submit
to?
We only submit your site to the top search
engines and directories, These are the ones
that will generate traffic to your site. No
junk, just real search engines and directories.
You can see the list of search engines and
directories submits to here.

Why
isn't my site listed on the search engines?
This occurs for a variety of reasons. Many
search engine and directory sites require between
6 weeks up to 6 months to list a site. Your
site could also be listed but not ranking properly.
Will
I receive spam after my site is submitted?
Some of the search engines and directories
sends out a confirmation email. You may also
be added to their newsletter. We recommend
that you use an alternative email account for
the submission.
Will
you submit my site to all search engines
in your list?
Your website will be added to all the engines
on the list that match your profile. Some engines
are restricted to certain countries or parts
of the world. We will however, submit your
website to at least 3,000 search engines and
directories. Note that not all submissions
will be successful. Search engines and directories
are sometimes unable to accept a submission
due to downtime, upgradings of their system
or some other reason.

Parts
of my site is "under construction" can
I still submit it to the search engines?
We recommend that you do not submit sites with "under
construction"
pages, they will probably not be accepted by
most of the directories.
Do
you provide a submission report?
Yes, a submission report in HTML format will
be sent to you via email, within 3 (business)
days after we have received your order. This
lets you know where you were successfully submitted,
and what sites your website was not submitted
to.
Do
you guarantee inclusion and top ranking
on the search engines?
Each search engine has it's own technique when
they rank pages so it is not possible for any
company to guarantee that. We will submit your
site to the search engines and directories
but after that it is is entirely up to each
search engine or directory to decide if they
accept the site or not.
Will
you submit our site monthly? I have heard
that it is important to submit every month.
Submitting every month wont do you any good
at all, once you are listed in a search engine
or directory, you will remain listed, unless
you do something they will consider as spam,
and ban your site. This is just a myth used
as a sales pitch by some submission services.
Services
offering monthly submissions will submit your
site to useless FFA sites that lists a site
for about an hour or a couple of days, that's
the reason they keep telling people how important
it is to submit a site every month. The FFA
sites wont do you any good at all cause they
are used primarily by spammers, and real search
engines look upon them as spam.
Another way
of looking at it, is this: Imagine that YOU
own a human-edited directory that accepts submissions,
and once a month you'll receive thousands of
submissions from sites already listed in your
index, giving you tons of extra work. Would
you still list these sites in your directory,
or would you ban them forever? Fact is, that
submitting a site every month is more likely
to get you banned instead of getting you listed. BACK

Engine Promotion For Higher Ranking - META
Tags
The Title is the most important place
to put your keywords, but be careful and limit
the Title to fewer than 15 words including your
top keywords. It's important that your Title
is as descriptive as possible and that it focus
on what your page is all about, for two obvious
reasons.
1. This is the title
that will come up in a search, and you would
want to attract people, not scare them away
with a lot of keywords that makes no sense.
Also, if a surfer clicks on your link and
the Title differs from your content he's
likely to leave the site.
2. Your Title should
reflect the content of your page for better
ranking in the search engines. It makes your
site "relevant" to your Title.
Example: <title>orderyourweb.com
- Free Website Promotion and URL Submission
to Search Engines.</title>
The META description is
used by some searchengines as a summary of
what your website is about. Put your keywords
and key phrases here and make sure that they
are present on the page as well. You should
not use more than 200 characters in your META
description.
Example: <meta
name="description" content="Your
site description here.">
META keywords are
not used as frequently by the searchengines
as they used to be, but there is no reason
not to use them. Use no more than 1000 characters
and separate each keyword or key phrases with
a comma. Remember that each of your keywords
should also be present at your page for higher
ranking, and to avoid being caught for spamming.
Example: <meta
name = "keywords" content = "Keyword1,
Keyword2, Key phrase, etc.">
To simplify the process
of making META tags use our META
Tag Generator and cut and paste the results
in the source code of your pages. Remember
that all tags (Title, Meta description and
Meta keywords) are placed between <head> and </head> in
your document.
There are many more ways
of getting visitors to your site. To learn
more about how to increase your website traffic
we advise you to read our small guide on Website
Promotion.

Website
Promotion - Increase Your Site Traffic.
You have created a brilliant
website and now it's time to get some traffic.
This small five step guide can give you some
help on how to succeed with website
promotion.
1. Submit
your site to search engines.
2. Submit your site to
different directories.
3. Submit your site to
pay-per-click search engines
1.
Submit your site to search engines.
This
is a "must
do". Before you submit your site to
the engines make sure that your site is search
engine optimized. After that, consider
submitting your site to search engines for
free, using our automatic service,
or do it by hand.
.2.
Submit your site to different directories.
Submitting your site
to directories does not only give you more
hits, it also increases your link popularity.
The number of web pages linking to your site
is considered an important factor by many
search engines to achieve a high ranking.
A link from an important site such as Yahoo
is given more weight than any other link.
Submitting
to directories are not as easy as submitting
to search engines. You have to make sure
that there are no dead links or "under construction pages" on
your site. They do not accept such sites.
Read more about how to add your site on their
information pages below.

3.
Submit your site to pay-per-click-search
engines.
If you are in a hurry to
get your site noticed, or if you have money
to spend on advertising, pay-per-click search
engines offers a perfect solution.
You pick the keywords
suitable for your site, the ones you need
to attract the right type of visitors to
your site. Then you set a rate that you are
willing to pay for each click on the keywords
that you have selected. The search results
are ordered after the highest bid on the
searched keyword and as an advertiser you
only need to pay if the searcher clicks on
your link. This way, you only pay for the
visitors that you actually receive.
There are dozens of pay-per-click
search engines on the Internet and
some can bring you a lot of traffic and
some will probably not be that good. The
pay-per-click search engine with most searches
is without question Overture .
They provide search results at several
major search engines including Yahoo!,
MSN, Alltheweb, Infospace, Netscape, AltaVista,
HotBot, and many others.

search engines:
