Shouldn't my web developer have submitted my site to the search engines?


We find that most web developers do submit sites to search engines as a courtesy. In general they are not trained in the nuances of search engines nor do they have the time to learn how to do it and keep up with all of the changes.

What is the difference between a search engine and a directory?

A search engine is an automated process also called (among other things) a bot, robot or spider. These bots follow links and crawl through sites, index words that are unique to the page and throw out all of the generic words like: it, at, the, web, site etc. Directories have human editors who look at your site and decide to include your site in their directory or not. They are set up in categories much like you would find in the yellow pages.

How often do you submit?

If a page is not ranking well we will submit as often as every month. For well ranking pages we may not submit at all, rather letting the search engines find each page through inbound links and site maps. Submitting a page too often is considered spamdexing. Any form of spamming is considered bad form in the Internet world and can get you de-listed or banned by the search engines and directories.

I have heard that links are important. Do you gather them for me?

Many search engines are now using inbound links as major criteria to ranking your site. If you have a number of inbound links your site is considered popular. Search engines "surf backwards" looking for a common theme among the sites that link to you. Sites that link to you should have the same general topic as your site. We use the keywords we researched for the optimization process and use them to create searches. When we Identify sites that are being found using these keywords we create a list of potential sites to request a link from. We request links from the sites and facilitate adding the links to the list, following up to make sure they keep their commitment and even play watchdog to make sure the links stay in place.

Why do I need so many keyword phrases?

The more specific the search phrase the more qualified the traffic will be. If you go to a search engine and enter an extremely competitive word like "travel" you will receive thousands of listings. These listings include: domestic air, lodging, car rentals cruse lines etc. The best place to be found is under an exact phrase that a searcher looks for. A very specific phrase such as: " Dallas air fares" will result in a higher conversion rate.
