Search Engine Submission

Of the approximately 8 billion web pages that are on the Internet, only about 3 billion are viewable through the search engines today. Research has shown that more than 84% of Internet consumers use search engines to find products and services. What good are billions of web pages, after all, if we can't find the ones we need?

More than 625 million searches are conducted online every day. Are you getting your fair share?

Research and common sense tell us that people will only browse through the first three or four pages of results before finding a suitable site or searching again. Getting your website listed within these four pages should therefore be of great importance in your website marketing plan.

You need to get your site listed within the first three pages on all the top search engines, and for all the key words and phrases your customers might use.

The Major Search Engines

Yahoo Express submission

Yahoo! Express requires a one time, non-refundable processing fee per submission. Recommended as a large proportion of Internet traffic comes through Yahoo. Yahoo Express guarantees that within seven business days a member of Yahoo's editorial staff will look at your site and consider it for inclusion in the Yahoo directory. Please note that this service does not guarantee a listing in the Yahoo directory, nor does it guarantee the type of placement or description that your site will receive if accepted.

Web traffic analysis reports

Traffic analysis reports detail the website users activity by analysing the website log files. The report details which pages are being visited, the length of time spent on the website, the search engines they have been referred from, the keywords used to find your website and the geographic region that the visitors come from. This report covers a three month time period and so it is recommended that you have four reports to cover the whole year. This is however the best method to judge how well a website is performing over time.
