about search engines and my page

Dec 07.2002

I am wondering…. I submitted my little webpage to a free search engine submission service and had it submitted to a a few engines for free. However, It told me my submissions were successful, but I’m not sure. I cant find my webpage while doing a search. Does it take a while to get listed? Its been 5 days.

Secondly, what is the best free-submission service out there? is there one? Is there a better way to submit your site? Also, I got a couple emails claiming my meta tags need optimizing….. ithink its bull and they just want to charge me money for a service. Is there any good advice anyone can offer about meta tags and optimizing them……

I know this is a lot to ask about all at one on the same thread, but I am basically wanting a good listing if possible…

Oh yeah, I was thinking of making a site to make a litle money…. but i am wondering…. with the right product is good money possible or has the web been watered down? <—might be a dumb question.

Anyway, if there is a good free submission service, please leave a link for me.

Any advice from the pros would be nice.

Happy hollidays…….

@Rick_BullDec 08.2002 — You do have to have good meta tags (see http://www.rickbull.co.uk/tutorials/HTML/Getting%20Listed%20on%20Search%20Engines/ for a tutorial I started about it a while ago), but also it does usually take a month or so to start getting listed. You have to remember though that more relevant sites may come up above yours, unless some searches for something specific to your site.

  • 1. get yourself listed with the open directory project. if you are listed there, search engines like google give you higher ranking.


  • 2. try to get other sites to link to your site. this also helps.


  • 3. good meta tags.


  • 4. don't use frames. webcrawlers do not like these.


    • **edit**

    try reading http://www.google.com/webmasters/

    @KaisaDec 08.2002 — Thats what i am trying to do too after i get my site fully done but AmericaOnline search enging(TYPO) automaticly adds me to there site when i didn't want to add my site yet ! and if you want your site to be on searches you have to have a meta tag desription of your site etc. or you might not get it on the searches at all .

    By the way go to http://www.aol.com and Search for DreamerGalaxy & Dreameruniverse those are my two sites !
