Site Promotion

Submitting your site to the search engines.


Submitting your site to the search engines is a time consuming and a tedious process.

First of all, you need to program your meta tags with keyworks and your content. Your page title is also important as well as the text content on your page. It is an art to making sure that your page has all of the requirements necessary before you submit your site. When you are done authoring your page, you will need to spend some time submitting your work to the search engines.

I recommend that you submit your site to the search engines by hand or purchase third party assistance to do it for you. You will constantly need to check your results after submitting to see if the search engines spidered your site. It helps to have a statistical package that will make sense of your log files to see how you are doing.

Good Luck!
