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. |
