Tools to Promote Your Web Site On-Line

The best way to promote your new on-line business via the internet it to get registered with a wide variety of search engines. There are an array of services to assist you in getting your new site registered. There are several important things that are required within your web pages to assist you with getting found. It is important that you have a well established page description, title and a full listing of "keywords" hidden within the coding of your site pages so that the search engines can find your pages. All sites that we design have these codes in place.

Search engines generally look for and pick up on certain words located in the top of your web pages. Generally, the first thing that they check is for matching words within the title of your pages, and then in the meta tag discription & key words. Some search engines will also check for hidden comments or the first few sentences on the page in question.

For the best possible search results it is best if you have distinctive descriptions on each and every page, alter your page titles and page descriptions by using important 'keywords' potential visitors might use in their searching and register each and every page possible individually with each search engine service. This can be a very tiring and time consuming process even with the help of search engine submission tools.

Acceptance to the various search engine providers vary in the length of time it will take before your site will be listed. Many of the major engines might take several weeks while some of the smaller ones will process almost immediately. The reasons for this is the overwhelming amount of requests that are received as well as the fact that many search engine providers 'screen' each site for content.

Many search engines require that you submit your site within a certain category which matches your site's function and purpose, some require other information as part of the submission process. There are a few search engines which will require you to also type in a page discription and several key words that fit your web site in the event that you do not have proper meta codes on your site.

It is also important that you include the full & correct URL and an accurate e-mail address for your site. It is impossible for the search engines to 'spider' your page if there are any errors, or typos made during your submission process or erroneous e-mail address. Most search engines will pick up this error and give you a warning message immediately, some will send you an email, others will simply exclude your submission. We find it helpful to maintain a simple list of each complete URL (http://www.domainname/directoryname/pagename.html) for each page in our sites as well as a copy of the page discription & keywords which we can then use to copy & paste over into the required fields in each submission site. This helps us avoid making any mistakes.

An important note to people who have frame based sites -- one of the pit-falls for framed sites it the possibility of new visitors getting separated from your main navigation. This can be a deadly down fall because how else will they see the remainder of your site? This can also impact on your getting bookmarked for future reference. There are Java codes to correct this problem and keep your web pages 'locked down' with your navigation pages. All framed sites that we design include this coding.

We have included links to several established on-line web site submission programs for you to use. It is a good idea to submit your site through a variety of programs as each one handles different search engines and you should resubmit every few months to update. However beware of programs that promise to list you with hundreds or thousands of search engines. Since it is required to give out your email address during the submission process in many cases these large bulk programs and software just lead to your mail box getting full of spam mail. We recommend that you maintain a unique e-mail address for your submissions for your privacy.
