I have recently moved our web site to another hosting service which seems to be handling traffic much better than my previous hosting. Also new is that I added a search engine to this domain so we can have everyone add web sites and help with the basic costs of keeping this web site operating. Web site submissions now will include being published in 7 search engines and directories, and we will also add the site to the major search sites for free. The result has been that submissions are also being picked up numerous meta search engines all over the internet.  This could easily result in 85% full exposure to the entire net.

The Search Engine is an important tool to get your website noticed and even more so if your site is commercial. The basic search engine builds traffic to your site in almost the same way a newspaper ad promotes items. Getting your website listed to these large databases is perhaps the best way to promote your site. Use of both good keywords and website description must be well used to attain the goals you seek on the net. Special attention must be used when submitting to the larger search engines concerning spamming (flooding) of entries and spamming of keywords throughout your sites content. All search engines are aware of this and will promptly dismiss your submission. In most cases spiders index your site and are able to detect this very easily. If you are having problems getting your site listed or are new to the internet please go to the extra help section or press this (go to section below help link) . For more information about what has happened to your site submission if it hasn't been accepted please go to this section to explain what might have happened. Remember to use meta tags!  When I spider sites for my engines,  its a blessing to see these tags..rather than a title "Index" and no descriptors being shown. 

Here's what spiders see...........on a poorly defined web page.
<title>Index</title>

Now what is this page about? Damm if I know...... but now you know what to do. Put those meta tags in, give it a title, give it a description, and some keywords.....META TAGS DON'T LEAVE THEM OFF YOUR PAGE!....Here's a good site that is defined!

<title> The Capitol Steps Home Page </title>
<meta name="description" content="Music and political satire by The Capitol Steps, the Washington-based troupe of Congressional staffers turned songwriters.">
<meta name="keywords" content="politics, humor, satire, parody, political humor, political parody, political satire, musical satire, political scandals, campaign humor, campaign 2000, gore, bush, dubya, hillary, congress, election, scandal, dole, clinton, monica lewinsky,linda tripp, falwell, gates, capitol steps, capital steps">

New Users 

New users go page by page and take the time to follow easy instructions. I suggest to everyone that you use note pad (not word pad, it will copy html) to copy your information so you don't type all day. Next copy these items it's easier and you won't make typo's. Type and copy to your note pad the following:

1.) type out your site name, next your url http://sample.net

2.) type out your email address

3) type out 15 word description of site

4) type out 25 word description of site

5) type out keywords app. 10-15 with commas

6) same thing without commas.

When you go to any site just copy and paste what they want! Doing this,  does two things, makes it faster, and also avoids making typo errors that can cost you.
