Don't Submit Your Website To Any Search Engines

admin14年前未命名1290
by Trenton MossWednesday, October 27, 2004 That's right - this search engine optimisation article is telling you not to submit your website to any search engines. Not Google, not Inktomi, not AltaVista. Sound a bit strange? Read on...Submitting to all the search enginesSubmitting your website to every search engine is an incredibly time-consuming process. There are hundreds and hundreds of them out there - no doubt, you've come across the companies who'll submit your website to 1000 search engines for you.Search engine professionals know that the vast majority of these search engines have a very low usage rate and will drive hardly any traffic your way. In fact, it's only a handful of search engines that drive the majority of traffic from search engines to websites.The major search enginesSome of the most important search engines, probably accounting for over 90% of the search engine market, are:[list][*]Google[*]Yahoo! [*]Inktomi[*]Teoma[*]Fast[*]AltaVista[/list] Please note that the new MSN search engine is soon to roll out and will be very important.Don't submit to these search engines"But there's only six of them - why on earth not!?" Well, aside from saving time and a bit of money (some require a submission fee), quite simply there's no need. Allow me to explain...Search engines crawl the web every few weeks (or months) looking for websites to index. Here's how it works:[list][*]Search engines start at one website with a large number of outbound links (usually a directory)[*]They follow every link they come across, indexing each page they arrive at[*]Once a page has been indexed they follow all the links from that page [*]And so on until there are no more links to follow[/list] Unless today is your very first day on the Internet, you might have heard that inbound links into a website are extremely important in establishing its search engine ranking. If a search engine can't find you by itself through crawling the web, then your website doesn't have any inbound links. If so, you'll never achieve a decent search engine ranking so what's the point in registering?Getting incoming links quicklySo, how do you get incoming links? Well, this is a vast topic which I won't be discussing now, but if you want to get a few good links quickly then there is a solution: web directories. If your website is listed in the Yahoo! directory (not the same as Yahoo! search) and the Open Directory (which Google uses) all the search engines should find you within two to three months.There are plenty of other directories you should get listed in too. Global, local and industry-specific directories abound on the Internet. To find them run a search for 'web directory' on your favourite search engine. The directories that come up highest in the search rankings will probably generate the most traffic. You can also check these directories of directories:[list][*]http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/[*]http://www.searchenginecolossus.com/[*]http://www.seo-lab.com/directory-articles/best-free-directories.php[*]http://www.isedb.com/html/Web_Directories/ [*]http://www.directory-pages.com/[/list] Another even quicker solution is webmaster forums. Search engines love forums because they include so much fresh content. Most have an area where you're allowed to enter your URL to get feedback from other webmasters. Find some forums, sign up, and get posting!To find out more about building up links to your website please read the article, Build up links to your website.A quick fixIt can take a couple of months to get listed in some web directories. If you can't wait that long then it might be worth submitting your site into a paid program and "artificially" boosting your rankings. Again, this is a whole new topic so please feel free to read more about the paid submission options.Long term strategySearch engine optimisation is a long term strategy. You'll be successful if you:[list][*]Structure your pages correctly by positioning your keywords in effective places [*]Build a great site with unique content that other websites will want to link to [/list]Register with as many web directories as possible and then concentrate your efforts on these two things. Within a few months you'll start to see success.
