SEARCH ENGINE SUBMISSION AND OPTIMIZATION

No matter how functional, fun, informative or attractive your web site may be, without proper optimization you may never make it onto the top 50 PAGES of a search engine. For optimal placement without buying a sponsored link you have to have the right combination of meta tags and text within each page of your site to be sure that your site is properly targetted to your customers. At Rio Grande Mud Media we study search engine placement and keep on top of the latest search engine algorithms. We know what it takes to get the placement you're looking for.

Search Engine Submission Myths:

• Search Engine Submission is not something you can do yourself. It requires special tools and only a specialized company can do it for you. Wrong! There are many companies out there offering search engine placement services for outrageous prices. While it is a time consuming process and it does take a bit of understanding, it's not something you couldn't do on your own if you had the time.
  
• I should pay more to have my site submitted to "over 5000 search engines."
  Wrong! Yes, there may be up to 5000 search engines but, aside from the top 20, most of them are unknown, rarely used, or are useless to begin with. There are about 15, maybe 20, search engines worth focusing on.
  
• Some companies guarantee my site will show up on search engines in 48 hours if I use their services.
  Wrong! It's always possible that your submission will appear in 48 hours, but no company has any special relationships with search engines giving them special priority. It can take up to 6 weeks for your submission to appear depending on the engine. There are billions of web pages out there, with thousands being submitted every day. Some of these search engines use real human beings to enter the data after they have looked at your site. 48 hour placement is highly unlikely.

We won't make outrageous claims here. We will help you analyze your site on a page by page basis making sure every detail of each page is optimized for higher placement. We will submit your site manually to each of the top 20 search engines - not using some in-house script that automates the process. We will embed custom meta tags into each page designed to coincide with the contents of the page.
