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.
BACK TO TOP
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.

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.
Other major pay-per-click
search engines:
