Mike_R -> Question on Search Engines (10/30/2003 12:08:52)

Now that I've finally gotten myself listed and ranked on Google (yippee!!), I have been trying to get my site listed with several of the other search engines. I have submited to AltaVista and All-the-Web, but many of the other ones (such as hotbot, lycos, teoma, and overture) don't appear to have free submision. You must pay for inclusion. Is that correct, or do any of these have free submission, but they just don't make it obvious? Also, does anyone know of a good list of SE's to submit to. I have already exhausted the one on the Outfront SE tutorial.

Thanks to all,

Mike

Take the time to read through the site. You'll be amazed at the results and it will cost you only what you think the service is worth.

Cooper, thanks for the link. I have reviewed the site but am a little confused. I had always heard that it was better to manually submit your site to the SEs and to aviod using services that claim to to it all for you. Have you had good success with this service? I also wonder how this works because most of the submission pages have some sort of random code that must be entered prior to submitting. I wonder how their system handles that. Hmmm. . .

... for the most part (and in the current SE environment) you don't really need to worry about AV or ATW.

I did a real quick check and out of 623 sales over the last 8 weeks not 1 sale came from AVor ATW - and I am listed in both. If you check around you will find that most people have the same or close to same results.

Then what about those SE's that seem to be only pay-for-inclusion, such as Overture, teoma, hot bot, and lycos? Are you running programs through any of them. I guess what I'm asking is who other than Google really matters?

nobody other than google really matters that much. Google has at least 75% of hte searches, since they supply aol and yahoo as well.
Ask jeeves has a little tiny bit, inktomi does, but both have not very much. Overture is the big pay per click search engine, along with the google adwords.
So, google can be considered a monopoly almost.
