Alta Vista Excite HotBot Lycos It sounds like a pretty simple question, but sadly, search engine submission can be a complicated subject, & pricey to boot.  Search Engines are misunderstood in a major way... It is possible to get 10, or even 100 of 1,000 people a day visiting your site through the major search engines, but it ISN'T EASY. You CANNOT just go built a site & submit once, you will notice little or no added traffic from such methods. Search engine stuff is a big subject but yes, I do have some basic Phrizbie pointers that have worked for us & many of our clients over the years. Meta Tags are important but.... The KEY to good rankings besides submitting is having repetition of keywords in the content of the website. This means the text, image names, titles of the pages, meta tags, & ALT tags. They all must work together to create something the search engines decide is “RELEVANT”. Using Phrizbie Design as an example:  How did you find us? Chances are you typed in a keyword phrase & our site popped up. IE. If you type in logo design, Phrizbie is about #200, but if you type in “Spa Logo Design” we are #1, because we are not only really specific what we do, but our site is FULL of content relating to this exact service (& we've been at it 8 years now!) The more specific you can be the better. There are so many tools to help you improve or OPTIMIZE your site & all it's content out there, ask us for which one we think is best for you.See below for recommendations that work for everyone. The main things to ALWAYS keep in mind are: - Research your Keywords - Submit Often, or use a service that does it for you. - Use Keywords in site as often as possible. Repetition is key ! Who do we suggest you use for your submissions? We use I NEED HITS as our search engine service provider. We work with you to help submit your site, whatever the budget. At a minimum I would tell you to spend $20 a month on an ongoing basis, for as long as the site is up. $50 a month is better. In most cases, the more you spend the better your rankings. Also the text & image content of each page is extremely important. If you have no text on a page with your keywords, you will never get great listings. Repetition of your keyword phrases in your site content is the key because sites like Google see this as RELEVANCY. The more relevant your site is, the higher your rankings. Be specific with your terms, use keyword phrases in your meta tags as well as your text & image names - & submit often. Our most commonly asked question is, "How can I get listed in Google or Yahoo?" The answer is, I need hits has a program called the G Boost which is a program to "Boost your chance of being included in Google within only 7 days!"  Google & Yahoo which are by far the 2 most important sites to have good listings.   To receive a 5% discount enter the promocode "MAFF5PCOFF"
