Promotion Links & Information
First we recommend that you enter your email address to
receive up to date search engine tips and detailed web
site promotion tricks of the trade. Ideas that will not
only make you money, they won't cost you any money
either. No spam, just a hard facts newsletter about how
to get your site noticed on the web.
How to Promote your
Web Site:
One of the best ways to promote your Web Site is to list it in many
electronic directories and search engines, so people can easily find your Web
Site.
Most search engines do not charge anything to be listed in their directories.
The best place to start is www.yahoo.com.
Just click on 'How to Suggest a Site' at the bottom of the page and follow the
instructions.
Links to the Top Search Engines-
The surest way to get listed with each one of these sites is probably
the least fun and the most work. That would be to follow the links below to each
site and add your web site information to their database by hand. Most of these
engines have a link (usually at the bottom of their homepage)that says something
to the effect of "add url" or "submit your site." It also
happens to be the least expensive.
Note: We offer a Search Engine
Submission Tool that is located in the Support Desk for all Traverse Web Hosting
customers. This tool walks you through submitting your site to the top 12 Search
Engines with a click of a button. Studies show that 90% of all searches are made
using the top 12 Search Engines!
But, before submitting your site, be sure and update your website by putting in
the necessary META Tags mentioned below. There is no guarantee that you will be
placed at the top of the search engine list. So, check out all our resources
below to try to move our site to the top of the list.
Editing your META Tags (Important First Step):
Meta tags for your "title", "description", and
"keywords":
< meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT=" your keywords here"
>
< meta NAME="description" CONTENT="your description
here">
< title >your title here
A Title (with a high percentage of your site's keywords, and a title that
starts with an "A" is best because some search engines sort
alphabetically).
A Description (with a high percentage of your site's keywords)
Keywords (to see someone's keywords, while viewing a web site, click
"view" "source". Then you can see what keywords they are
using (who they are targeting). For fun, go to your competitors web sites, and
click "view ", "source" (Netscape calls it "page
source".) You will be looking for something that says "Meta keywords
".
