your business online.

Now, the real truth about submissions...
Search engine submissions and directory submissions can ensure that
your website is listed on the web.
The main difference between a search
engine
and a
directory is that search engines allow automatic submission
and indexing, while directories are in most cases reviewed by an actual human
being.
Yahoo was the first well known directory. Here, your website submission is
reviewed by an Yahoo employee. They also have a search engine that reviews
submissions electronically. Google, on the other hand, doesn't really care
about submissions - they prefer to find you. While they do have a submission
page,
the general
consensus
is that it is basically ignored.
DMOZ is another important directory. It is run by volunteers, so submissions
to this important directory can take years to see results. Once in though, you
will see your site pop up in the Google Directory, among thousands of other
websites which share and publish the DMOZ results.
While there are thousands of search engines and directories on the web, We
are mainly concerned with the top three - Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Between
them, they account for 90% of all search related traffic. While they all differ
slightly on how they accept and index your site, we make sure that you gain
entry to the search results for these three major search entities. We
focus very specifically on Google results, as they are currently the most favored
search engine on
the web. We have been optimizing for Google since the very
first day they launched, and have had great success in gaining rankings for
our clients on this very important search engine.
Directories specific to your industry category are also
important. We hunt
them down and make submission requests as part of our SEO program. While rankings
on the three major engines is critical for the success of any website, we hate
to put all our eggs in three baskets, and therefore spend a lot of time on
finding these industry specific portals/directories. It's likely that the volume
of
traffic coming from these directories is much smaller, but the leads generated
from them are much more focused, making them very valuable.
Contact us to get your website highly ranked on the major search engines and
the most important directories.
