| What is Search Engine Submission? |
| "Search engine submission" refers to the act of getting your web site
listed/searchable with search engines. The below screen capture shows you how
does it look like when your site is listed and not listed in search engine. |
|
|
| Won't my website get listed anyway? |
| Simply publishing a website is no guarantee that it will ever be listed by
the Search Engines. Over time, most websites will be found by the Search Engines
as they crawl the internet. This time can vary from several weeks to several
months.
Flexihostings BeListed aims to substantially reduce
the amount of time it takes to get listed, getting your website in front of
people much faster.
Reasons a new website can miss out on a Search Engine position:-
 The site isn't well connected through multiple links to other sites on the
web.
The site launched after the Search Engines most recent crawl was completed.
The site was temporarily unavailable when the Search Engine tried to crawl
it.
|
| Will you submit my site to '10,000 search engines' like other services
I have seen? |
| No. Whilst there are many Search Engines
on the internet, over 90% of all searches come from Google,
Yahoo or MSN.
Many other minor search engines use these 'big three' for their results.
Services that 'auto-submit' to 'thousands of search engines' are likely
to be submitting your site to directories that have no real value
and can in fact be detrimental to your long term search engine position.
Submission to invaluable website such as FFA link site or sites that
has a whole lots of link will result your website to be penalized
by the 3 major search engine and you don't want that to happen. |
| How quickly will my listing appear? |
| Generally most websites will show up within a week of having the Flexihostings
BeListed service activated, but that time is variable, dependent on
the Search Engines. |
| How will I know when Flexihostings BeListed has worked? |
| Each Teusday you will receive an email
report from Flexihostingsa showing the status of your website on the
3 major Search Engines.When your website has been listed by Google,
Yahoo or MSN,
you will be informed and the BeListed service will have completed. |
| Will BeListed get my website to
the top of the search results on Google/Yahoo/MSN etc? |
| Getting listed does not mean that you
will necessarily rank well for particular terms. It simply means that
the search engine knows your pages exist. To achieve a leading position
on the Search Engines after submission you should follow up Flexihostings
BeListed with a Search
Engine Optimisation service. |
