Search Engine and Directory Submission

There are basically two ways your web site will be found on the web. The first is that your customers and potential customers will know about it from a business card, brochure, advertisement or other promotional item. The second is they will use a search engine, type in some words and hopefully your web site will appear in the first or second page of results.

You can make the first way happen by including your web address on business cards, brochures, flyers, newspaper and magazine ads, yellow pages, stationary, answering machine recordings, email signatures and promotional items. The second way is up to us. Honestly, we can't guarantee that you will be at the "top of the list" on every result, but we do have some pretty good success rates in placement.

Our success lies in understanding how search engines work. Anyone can submit a site to a search engine, but to get good results you need to understand that every search engine looks at the web differently and organizes (or indexes) web sites in a different manner. We customize each submission in order to achieve the best results.

Search engines we submit to (additional charges may apply)

Alexa, All the Web, Altavista, AOL Search, Ask Jeeves, Google, Hotbot, Jayde, Lycos, MSN, Netscape, Open Directory Project, Overture, Teoma, WebCrawler, Yahoo.

Warning: Some web developers claim to submit to anywhere between 100 and 1,000 search engines. The fact of the matter is, there just aren't that many search engines. Most of these "100 or more search engines" are web sites set up to capture email addresses for resale on mailing lists. We only submit to real search engines and we do it individually. It takes more time but the results are worth it.

Note: Increasingly search engines are charging for premium placement in their search results and some have stopped accepting free submissions entirely. We can give you the latest prices for search engine submission and recommendations.
