| Search Engines The most widely used submission resources are the search engines. There are normally the "The Big Seven" (Infoseek, AltaVista, Lycos, Webcrawler, Excite, HotBot, and OpenText), but there may well be others targeted to your particular industry or niche. Find out if your field has an industry-specific search engine by checking Yahoo's list of search engines. Getting your site included in a search engine's database isn't enough anymore. Improving search engine rankings is one of the hottest topics on the minds of site builders today. After spending hundreds of hours studying every legal and illegal rankings trick in the book, I can tell you this simple truth: the only way to improve your ranking is to devote time to it once a week for the rest of your natural life. If you're willing to do this, give yourself a headstart by heading over to Danny Sullivan's Search Engine Watch. The site explains in detail how all the search engines work, what you should and should not do, and what you can realistically expect in the way of rankings improvement. Pay special attention to the section on spamming. One word of advice when it comes to spamming search engines: don't. |
