Internet search engines, such as Google,
Alta Vista and MSN, drive the delivery of information on
the Internet. Recent estimates indicate that up to 85%
of Internet users rely on the major search engines for
locating information on goods and services.
However, these search engines each have their own protocol
as to how sites are indexed into their database and how
submissions should be handled.
In fact, search engines are constantly changing their
protocols to ensure pages listed in their indexes are relevant
and accurate, based on the search phrase entered. It is
very possible for your site to be deemed as "spamming" with
improper submissions or inappropriate techniques. The results
can be lowered rankings, page removal or in some cases,
being banned from the search engine. That's why it's so
important to understand, or know someone who does, the
rules and protocol of each major search engine.
Paid Submissions: many search engines will allow you to
pay a submission fee to be indexed quickly into their database.
This strategy can be advantageous, but it does not guarantee
your site will achieve a high ranking listing on the first
or second pages. Without search engine optimization of
your pages, your dollars spent will not return the results
you desire.
