Search Engine
Submission Tips
|
General Information:
- Make
sure the most important information is
at the top of the site.
- Look at
the top sites in the keywords you are
submitting with your site. Look at what
they are doing and not doing and not
doing to be placed high in the
search engines.
- Make
sure the webpage title lists the name of
the organization or company. It is the
first thing that the searchers, as well
as the search engine spiders, see.
- Be sure
to have text on the website page. If the
page is completely graphical, the search
engine can't catalog the content of the
page,
and will most likely not list it.
Meta Tags:
- The use
of Meta Tags can be very beneficial to
your submittal, but they will not
guarantee a listing or high placement.
They can be used for both
keywords and description.
- Keyword
Meta Tags are located in the header of
your webpage's HTML source. The keywords
should be words people searching for a
site like yours
would use. Try to think of any words
that would be used to find your site.
The maximum limit for keyword Meta Tags
is 1000 characters.
- The
description Meta Tag is also in the
header of your HTML source. This
description should draw the searcher
into visiting your site. The description
can be a maximum of 250 characters.
- You can
repeat a keyword as many as 6 times, but
the duplicate words can't be right next
to each other.
Placement Suggestions
- Use
target keywords (keywords that appear on
your website) to assist in better
placement.
- Position
your target keywords high up on the
page.
- Place
target keywords in title.
- Place
target keywords in headline of page, as
well as in the first few lines of text.
- Frequency
of target keywords throughout the
webpage can increase listing
probability. Search engines see sites
with keywords used often as more
relevant to
the topic then those who use the
keywords less frequently.
- Using
tables at the top of the page can push
keywords further down the page, making a
site look less relevant. The search
engines read text first, which makes it
look like the text is placed lower on
the site.
- Have
HTML text on the page relevant to the
topic of the site. Seach engines don't
read graphical text.
- Don't
try to trick the search engines by
repeating keywords hundreds of times in
smaller text or in text the same color
as the background. If the text is not
visible in the browser, it will not be
viewed by the search engines.
Submitting All Pages
- You do
not need to submit all of the pages in
your site, but there are ways to
increase the probability that the search
engine will follow all of the links
and list all of the pages.
- Using
only image map links to get from one
page to the other will not be followed
by the search engines. Add some HTML
hyperlinks to the home page that
lead to major inside pages.
- Be sure
the internal linking of your pages is
done correctly. By naturally pointing to
the various pages of your site from
within it, the search engines
will have a better chance of following
those links.
Links with other Sites
- Major
search engines use link analysis as part
of their ranking structure.
- Get good
links from good sites that are relevant
to your topic. This can be beneficial
not only in the search engine listings,
but it also gets your site seen
by the people visiting those sites.
- To find
good sites to link with, do a search on
the search engine with your keywords,
and contact those sites listed in the
top ten to ask if they will link you.
