Charging for the service of submitting your web site to the search engines is a common practice. However, you need to decide if you are getting your moneys worth or would it be better to do it yourself. The main interest of concern should be in submitting to Search Engines and Directories should be placed on the Top Ten. Our research showed that 90% to 95% of all traffic received from someone doing a keyword inquiry will come from these Top 10 Search Engines. We actually list the Top 13. You can view it at: Top Ten Search Engines http://www.hypermart.net/consult/promo2.html We created this FREE Web Site where all of these are listed with the direct link to the Add URL pages to save you time and expense. We even include helpful suggestions on actually making your submission, most especially for Yahoo that gives everyone a problem in getting listed. The entire process for submitting to these Top 13 only takes about 45 minutes. That includes Yahoo if you follow our suggestions for speeding their submission process. Of these Top 13, 8 merely require that you enter the URL of your site and or your email address! Once you do these on your own, we also offer links to several FREE Multi Submit services that will then send out your info to as many as another 200 lesser Search Engines and Directories at NO CHARGE. So, an investmnt of less than two (2) hours of your own time will accomplish the task that is being offered to you by many for a fee. Your only oher consideration is to inquire if this service offers some added benefit that you can not accomplish yourself. This would have to be in the form of consultation with regards to those elements that will help improve the ranking of your web site with a proper combination of the following: 1. Title A good, descriptive title that actually utilizes one or more of your most important keywords. 2. Meta Tag - Keywords Choosing the correct keywords for your particular subject, placing them properly with the meta tag of your source page, using the currently acceptable character length - ( about 1000 ) - and making certain they are not considered spam because of improper repetition. 3. Meta Tag - Description Creating an informative description also of proper length - (about 200 character) - and worded to include your top 2 or 3 keywords. 4. Actual Web Page Text Many of the Search Engines, Alta Vista being the most notable will pick up the first 25 words of text from your page to help them determine the content/keyword placement. And finally, before paying money for such a service, ask to see what results they have been able to accomplish for others in the past. For example, if you visit http://www.infoseek.com and do a keyword search of the phrase, Top Ten Search Engines, you will find our page to be number one (1) out of several hundred returns. Interestingly enough, if you do the very same keyword search but without the capital letters, top ten search engines, you will find us listed as number two (2) out of over 5,800,000 possibilities. If you do not have the time nor the inclination to do it yourself then by all means pay someone to do it for you because the exposure is important.
