RE: UKNM: Search Engine Listings - Software or not?

[Ben Ellis]

Terry,


Hope this is useful and please bear in mind the advice is not complete. I

can't give away all our secrets! After all it's our business.


You don't need any money, or much time to submit your site to the search

engines.  First of all, don't worry about all the 'cowboys' who claim to

submit your site to 10,000 search engines - most of them are going to be

non-traffic generating and half of them are probably FFA link pages which

will just fill your email up with useless spam.


You just need to concern yourself with the main search engines.  Here's a

list of them with their submission page url's:


Lycos - http://www.lycos.com/addasite.html

Alta Vista - http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=addurl

Google - http://www.google.com/addurl.html

Excite - http://www.excite.com/info/add_url_form

Magellan - http://magellan.excite.com/info/add_url

Webcrawler - http://www.webcrawler.com/info/add_url/

Northern Light - http://www.northernlight.com/docs/regurl_help.html

MSN - http://search.msn.com/addurl.asp

Direct Hit - http://www.directhit.com/util/addurl.html

Infoseek - http://www.go.com/AddUrl?pg=SubmitUrl.html&svx=CTOC_Add_url

Canada - http://www.canada.com/search/web/addurl.asp - Feeds into Inktomi.

FAST - http://www.ussc.alltheweb.com/add_url.php3

Hotbot - http://hotbot.lycos.com/addurl.asp

Anzwers - http://www.anzwers.com.au/cgi-bin/print_addurl.pl - Feeds into

Inktomi.


These are all the major's taken care of.  To get into the UK search

engines, just go to the UK equivalents of AltaVista, MSN, Lycos, Voila and

Excite.  Check these url's for any extra's you'd like to get into;


www.searchenginecolossus.com/ - Search engines listed by Country.

www.searchengineguide.com/ - A search engine of search engines and

directories.

www.searchpower.com/ - The 'Largest' list of search engines and directories.


For safety's sake, submit around 4 or 5 pages to all these search engines

over the period of about a month and then wait another month or two to see

how your doing.  Wherever you're not in, resubmit.  Regarding software, I

highly recommend submitting everything by hand - Northern Light banned all

Web Position Gold submissions for blocking them up - now Web Position Gold

don't report on them because they're 'no longer a major search engine' -

strange that!

I do use Web Position Gold for reporting though.  It saves a lot of time

rather than typing each keyword into each search engine and seeing how

you're doing.


Directories are a different matter.  These submissions take time and you

should take extra care to submit accurate information.  Don't submit a site

unless it is 'finished', e.g. shouldn't have 'under construction' pages,

broken links, spam, etc.

Directories don't like sites with loads of Doorway Pages with them either so

get rid of them.  Don't even think about Doorways until you've done your

keyword research (use GoTo suggestion tool, competitor sites, etc), meta tag

copywriting, rewritten body copy to incorporate keywords and general HTML

optimising.


Here at DVisions we have a 'Getting Into Yahoo!' advice document which I can

email anyone (for FREE) if they would like it.  Once you can get into Yahoo!

you can get in anywhere.


Good luck.
