Search Engine Submission: Getting Listed
"Search engine submission" refers to the
act of getting your web site listed with search engines.
Another term for this is search engine registration.
Getting listed does not mean that you will necessarily
rank well for particular terms, however. It simply
means that the search engine knows your pages exist.
Think of it like a lottery. Search engine submission
is akin to you purchasing a lottery ticket. Having
a ticket doesn't mean that you will win, but you must
have a ticket to have any chance at all.
Search Engine Optimization: Improving The
Odds
"Search engine optimization" refers to the
act of altering your site so that it may rank well
for particular terms, especially with crawler-based
search engines.
Returning to the lottery model, let's assume there
was a way to increase the odds of winning by picking
your lottery numbers carefully. Search engine optimization
is akin to this. It's making sure that the numbers
you select are more likely to win than purchasing
a set of numbers at random.
All sites that we design will include the proper meta
tags required to submit your pages. However, as we
are by no means Search Engine Optimizers (SEO's) any
search engines / indexes that we submit to carry no
guarantee that the site will be listed, or where it
will be listed. Arrangements can be made to modify
your pages and re-submit.
