But have you looked to see what your ranking on these search engines are? If not give it a shot, get on the Internet and try to find your URL with a search engine. SUPRISED? I bet you are.

Listing on the search engines is not enough. Listing on hundreds of search engines is not enough either.

If you are listed beyond position 30 you will be seen by less than 1% of the users performing the search.

What is a search engine after all? It is simply a database of web sites located on the Internet, like a huge Yellow Pages book. Search engines do not alphabetize their listings, they use categories, and keywords. A search is performed on a keyword using special protocals, the search engines list all sites under this keyword or phrase. This special protocal, determines the exact placement of the sites under the keyword or phrases.

Did you know search engines may drop your listing for no apparent reason?

When a person searches the Internet, 90% are using one of these search engines: Lycos, Inforseek, Webcrawler, Excite, magellan, AltaVista, Yahoo, HotBot and Northern Light, using keywords or keyword phrases to locate a company, product line, or service. Sure you can put your site on line, and let the web spiders/crawlers find your site and place you on their engines. Or you can go to any of these search engines and do a manual entry for each. Is this really enough? NO, not even if you are listed on hundreds of search engines, do not be fooled into thinking a customer can find you. Remember 90% of all people on the Internet use only 9 of the hundreds of search engines available.
