We submit your site to about 20 key search engines, which account for almost all
the search engine activity on the Internet. Submitting your site to 100's or 1000's
of search engines and directories is a joke, if not a scam, and is utterly worthless.
In most cases, we do have to pay fees to be included in the search engines. In
the past, they would include sites for free, but they have been going to paid
submissions in the last few years, and we now recommend budgeting money for search
engine fees.
Result order of search engines - The first results, usually at the top of the
page, are the paid sponsorships. These are pay per click results and may or may
not be seen on every page. Next, search engines will list their own directory
results. Inclusion in these results is done by a paid program or *DMOZ.
Lastly, web site (or page) results will be listed.
Hand Submission - Our cheapest service. This
method of submitting is our most inexpensive, but also the most unreliable and
time consuming. Unreliable because search engines have thousands of submissions
at a time and never guarantee that your site will be listed. More than often,
sites will not even be listed because of minute mistakes or even being overlooked.
On the same token, this is time consuming because of time it takes to get listed.
While some engines claim a 2-4 week listing wait, most have a 4-8 or 8-12 week
waiting period, sometimes even more.
The hand submission is fairly simple. We will directly submit your site's URL
to the top engines accepting this type of submission, including Google,
Lycos, AOL Websites,
Netscape, *DMOZ
(Open Directory), Altavista, and several others.
* DMOZ submission - DMOZ produces directory
results in engines such as, AOL Search, DirectHit, HotBot, Google, Lycos, and
Netscape Search. Directory results will usually be viewed before web page results
and, in many cases, may be equally or more valuable then paid partner and paid
inclusion submissions.
Partner Submissions - These type of submissions
will guarantee express inclusion into an engine's web site results. Depending
on the partner, your site will be held at the top tier of the web page results.
These are fairly in expensive programs that produce fast and thorough inclusion.
Inktomi Submit - Fast 48-72 Hour, inclusion into the Inktomi Search Engine database
powering MSN, HotBot, Overture, About, and Looksmart. Your Web Page will also
be refreshed every 48 hours. Your URL (Web Page) stays included in Inktomi's database
for 12 months.
Ask Jeeves / Teoma Submit - Fast 7 day, inclusion into the database powering
Ask.com and Teoma.com. Your Web Page will also be refreshed every 7 days. Your
URL (Web Page) stays included in this powerful database for 12 months.
AltaVista Express Inclusion - Fast three-business day inclusion into the database
powering AltaVista. Daily refreshes (weekday only) of your URLs so that customers
always see your freshest content. Cost effective implementation. Your URL (Web
Page) stays included in this powerful database for 6 months.
Paid Inclusion - This method will reach millions
of targeted customers and generate highly qualified leads by listing your brand,
products, and services in the directory search results of the major search engines
and portals, including, MSN, About, Altavista, Netscape, InfoSpace, CNN.com, and
CNET. It relies on a click-through fee, which means every time a user clicks on
a link to your site, you will be charged. The fee is a very low, fixed rate, and
you select your monthly budget. A one time setup fee and first month deposit do
apply.
Paid Sponsorship - Our paid sponsorship partner
reaches over 80% of internet users by placing your site in top listings on a slew
of the biggest engines, portals, directories, and meta searches. This pay-by-click
program is probably the most expensive, but also the most effective and result
producing. You are charged for every person that clicks through to your site,
but you choose how much you pay! There is a low minimum monthly spend, and a setup
fee as well.
