Professional Search Engine Submittal

Submitting Your Web Site to Google, Yahoo, MSN, Windows Live Search

The submittal of your website to the primary search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) makes them aware that your site is online and that you want the site's initial or revised pages of information spidered and indexed in their database so that it's available to be listed in the search results.

Submittal, however, is not the only way to get in line for a search engine crawl and many sites simply rely on their frequent crawl interval to bring their new or revised information to the attention of the search engines. The addition of new content on a regular basis and inbound links coming from other frequently crawled sites is equally or more effective at getting the bots to revisit your site at convenient intervals than actually submitting it.

"Indexation" is the Real Goal of Submitting Your Site

If you do rely on submission, however, getting your site fully indexed (or indexed at all, for that matter), after the bots come by is by no means automatic. This is where so many people trip up. Correctly submitting your site simply gets it in the queue to be crawled by the spiders--that's it. How fully a spider crawls your site once it gets to it is another matter altogether. Countless things can trip spiders up and prevent some or all of your content from getting crawled--and unless you know 1.) exactly how to determine what's been crawled and what hasn't; 2.) determine why content wasn't crawled; and 3.) how to fix the problems that prevented the content from being crawled, then submitting your site will not help you get ranked for your target terms.

Just as important to your rankings as getting your content fully crawled and indexed, is the fact that your content should be optimized. That is to say, your content should be organized and written in such a way as to promote strong meaning and relevance with respect to your products/services, your industry, and your competitors. As the search engines understand nothing but the words on your pages and how they compare with the words on other web pages on the web, being more than crystal clear with your content is of extreme importance.

These two factors together--knowing your site is online and knowing exactly what it is about--is what helps the search engines produce your site as one of the top results when someone searches for a keyword specific to your site--not just the act of search engine submittal.

As part of the METAPILOT search engine optimization process, we perform manual search engine submittals to Google, Yahoo, MSN Search and DMOZ. No automated submissions are used in order to preserve the highest level of integrity for your site in the eyes of the search engines. It ensures your site will not get blacklisted or penalized due to over-submittal and allows for expedient turnaround times during our optimization process.

METAPILOT specializes in optimizations for Google, Yahoo, & MSN--typically achieving strong results on all three for each site we optimize. Not only are Google, Yahoo and MSN the most popular search engines, but many second tier search engines utilize their search technology, which means that when a site shows up well on the majors, it is expected to show up well on the smaller ones as well.

So, by utilizing METAPILOT for a one-time customized optimization, your site benefits from professional submission to the search engines, it gets its copy and Meta tags professionally revised, it gets a substantial boost to its rankings, and gets reports on its keyword placement results.
