Why is my site not showing
up at the top of a certain search engine?
Once your site has been submitted to the top search engines
it may take several weeks or possibly months for your site to appear
in their directory at all. Most search
engines give you the option to pay for higher ranking or special placement.
One of the most important factors for top search engine
placement is to make sure quality links are linking to you, thus giving your
site importance. This may be achieved by exchanging links with other popular/related sites, paying for link placement, or by joining various affiliate programs to name a few.
The design and placement of relevant and useful keywords into the
source code (META tags) are useful for some search engines but just designing the site properly so search engine spiders can
index your site will help greatly. This means not having an "intro" page or creating your site entirely with images as search engine spiders can not index images.
There is much more to top search engine placement then simply submitting a completed site. We would be happy to assist you in obtaining your top ranking goals, please don't hesitate to contact us for more information.

How do people
find my site?

users know about your site. The easiest way is to list your site address
(www.yoursite.com) on all of your business cards, stationery, brochures
and other forms of advertising. Another great way to attract users
is to buy advertising in traditional media and on other related websites.
You can and should submit your website to as many search engines as you can (or at least the big ones) like google,
lycos, Yahoo!, HotBot and many more. Web surfers will find you when they search
for keywords related to your site. Finally, some
of the best leads come from word-of-mouth advertising.
