Search Engine SubmissionsFirst let us clarify one of the biggest misconceptions on the internet. There are not Thousands of Search Engines out there for your website and you only need to submit your website once in it's life time not 4 times a year. There are only a few that will bring any real traffic to your website. If your being told something like "we'll submit your website to 10,000 search engines for $39" your being scammed. As we said there are not that many legitimate search engines in the world. What they are mainly doing is submitting your website to bulletin boards not search engines. Your website will appear until the bulletin board is full then your website is dropped. The really bad thing about this is this is one of the main ways spammers find a new person to bombard with e-mails. 80% of Internet users rely on search engines to find information. Did you know that 47% of all online shoppers use search engines to find products? But they will only spend 12 minutes looking for it. And most use more than one search engine to find what they want. That's why it's important to properly list your search engine optimized website. Below you can see the percentage of the three top search engines compared to the rest.
Google: 33% Below is the complete list of the other legitimate search engines and search directories for the United States presently. Those in BOLD are the only ones of value to everyone in general and comprise the biggest part of the 13%.
If you would like a list of all legitimate search engines, directories and Pay Per Click directories in the world you can download them in Microsoft Word or Acrobat Reader. The other misconception people have is thinking "If you build it they will come." Just because you have a website doesn't mean people will see it unless you do some form of advertising. And the best and most cost effective is search engines. On of the biggest reasons websites fail is they forget the importance of search engines or they fail to list their website properly. In a brick and mortar business the three key factors of success is location, location and location. For Internet business it's search engines, search engines and search engines. And don't think because you submitted your site to a search
engine it will be listed or listed in a reasonable amount of time. Some take
from 2 months to 2 years to get listed. And many will not bother doing free
listings or add it if it's improperly submitted. We will submit your site once to 10 of the best search engines for your site for $49 (with the exception of the Yahoo! directory) we will guarantee that it will be accepted and in their data base. No, we don't use a program to do the submissions. Why? Because each search engine is different, each has different rules and some will actually ban your website for using a program to submit it. Submission to Yahoo for early listing (72 hours from submission) is $349, due to their new fees they charge us or you $299 and we add $50 for the 50+ minutes it will take to properly list it. If you decide to submit it yourself remember if you improperly submit it, submit it to the wrong heading or use the wrong wording for your description you will not get listed and they don't do refunds. So your stuck forking out another $299 to try again. Your site must meet all of Yahoo's guidelines to be accepted. If we have designed the website it meets those guidelines. If you purchase this feature from us. We will look at your website to make sure it meets the guidelines before we submit it. We normally charge $75 for this but will do it at no cost once the purchase is made. We don't want you throwing your money away.
