3 WAYS TO GET INDEXED
============================================================
There are basically three ways to get your Web site indexed:
1. Wait for the search engine to find you by following a
link from another site. (May take a very long time).
2. Go to each search engine and submit your URLs to each of
your target Search Engines.
3. Employ a professional submission service to do it for
you.
Indexing may take from a day or two with to 12 weeks in some
cases. It varies by search engine. It's also common to not be
listed at all for no apparent reason. This is why follow up
and re-submission are crucial! Generally the page where you
submit your URL will have the current waiting period to be
indexed. Note this number for each engine so you know when
there's a potential problem
Most engines let you submit as often as you like, although some
do not allow you to submit the same page more than once per day.
However, most let you submit as many as 50 pages or more per day
if you like.
Things you should keep in mind in submitting pages:
1. Most engines will not only index your main page but will
also seek out links to your other pages to index. They'll move
two or more levels down the site tree. Therefore, it's not
always necessary to submit each page individually to those
engines. However, if you create doorway pages that link to your
home page but are not linked to in return, you'll need to submit
those pages individually, or create a page with visible or hidden
links to each of your doorway pages.
2. Since many engines take weeks to index a page, you might
want to jump the gun on a new site and submit it before you've
got all the pages done. Don't!!, since if an engine spiders your
site and doesn't find your home page or the page you specify,
most will not try again later.
3. Some engines are watching for people submitting too many
pages at once. They sometimes limit you on how many you can
submit per day or week. They may also start looking for people
submitting too many similar pages and will ban sites that they
feel are abusing the system. Therefore, it's always best to
proceed with caution and submit only as many variations of a page
as absolutely necessary to achieve your goal. If you keep it to
one regular page and one optimized summary page for each
product/service then you should not have any problems. Also, you
should space out submissions when possible (perhaps once a week).
4. Yahoo, unlike many other engines, only adds your site
after a human being has reviewed it and decided it was good
enough to be in their index. Make sure you've done a bang-up job
in providing good content for your site before submitting to
Yahoo and other review oriented services.
Its worth the effort to get your listing. It's also worthwhile
building links with other sites as many engines rate a heavily
linked site more favourably.
