Getting your Web Site Listed with Search Engines

In my last post we discussed which were the most important search engines and it was obvious that Google was No1 but also Yahoo and Msn are also important

At this current time many SEO specialists are looking at the results you now get from a search using Google as they results are no longer as good as they once were and many spammy directory listings are starting to score high on Google making some user including myself start to turn to other search engines

Before we discuss some basic Search Engine Optimisation techniques we will discuss how does a search engine find my site

Most search engines will find your site without you having to do anything in the old days (a few years ago) you would have to had submit your web site address etc to all the search engines individually

You can still submit your url to Google but the submission page is hard to find in fact its almost as if Google does not want you to submit web site address any more , You can only submit your site to Yahoo if you pay a fee and I have never been able to find the submit page for Msn

Even if you do not submit your site to any of the above search engines eventually they will find your site on there own , each search engine has its own spider , this is a piece of software that trails through the internet looking for content
