Because search engines give priority placement to their newer
listings, experts advise webpage owners to resubmit their
websites every 60 days. This beats the search engines at
their own game and gives you an advantage over your competition.
(See below for more tips on how to beat the search engines.)
KNOW HOW SEARCH ENGINES WORK AND TIPS
Search engines are the #1 tool people use to find what
they're looking for on the web. There is no better way to
build traffic to your website than to be a fresh listing in
as many search engines and directories as possible.

UNDERSTANDING SEARCH ENGINES:
The average time between submitting your URL and getting
it into the database seems to be 3-6 weeks. In addition,
a new submission may expire very rapidly, even after a month
or two because it will get moved down a few pages and get lost
with the rest of the ever growing Internet database.
Most search engines check their databases to see if URLs
still exist and to see if they have been recently updated.
This is the reason your site should be entered every month or so.
Search engines give each document they find a number in their
ranking of the quality of the match to your search query...
in other words, a score. Relevant scores reflect the number
of times a search term appears, if it appears in the title, if
it appears at the beginning of the document or HTML tags, and
if all the search terms are near each other (some explanations
are given in each search engine's help files). Some engines
allow the user to control the relevance score by giving
different weights to each search word. One thing that all
engines do is use alphabetical order or a date stamp in their
display algorithm. If relevant scores are not very different
for various matches, then you end up with a default list.
KNOWING YOUR LINKS:
Some search engines find your website by links from other
webpages. Even if you have sent in your URL, your website
can be indexed longer and ranked higher in search results if
many links lead to your website. Links can be important in
some search engines in achieving good exposure.
USING THE RIGHT TEXT:
If a webpage lacks descriptive text, then there is little
chance that webpage will come up in the results of a search
engine query.
USING THE RIGHT KEYWORDS:
Focus on the 7 keywords that you think are most important to
your website, then ensure those words are both in your title
and mentioned at the beginning of your webpage. Generally,
most people will already have those words present on their
webpages but may not also have them in webpage titles.

MORE LINKS TO OTHER WEBPAGES IN YOUR SITE OR EVEN OTHER
WEBSITES, ACTUALLY THE MORE LINKS TO ANYTHING RELATING OR
COORELATING TO YOUR BUSINESS THE BETTER, SEARCH ENGINES
LIKE LINKS:
If there are no links inside webpages to other
webpages, it seems that some search engines will not register
the website.
RESUBMIT:
Once you are listed with an engine, check your website at
least once a month. If your listing is deleted, resubmit
the URL again. Many search engines are visiting websites
on a schedule developed from website changes. Resubmitting
every month or two will ensure that your website's content
is kept current.
USING META TAGS:
Meta tags will help you control your website's description in
engines that support them. Adding some meta description code
can be useful, but is not the only method to your madness in
increasing your rankings. Oh, your still with me, just kind of
check point there to see if your still with me:)

IF IT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE OF BUSINESS,
TRY LINKING TO YOUR COMPETITORS:
If your website is not listed in the top thirty, contact all
the sites in the top twenty for your category and see if they
will trade links with you. Links are what the web was built
on, and they remain one of the most powerful methods for
people to find your website.
OTHER TIPS:
Change your title regularly and register your webpage again.
Some search engines will list both versions of your site.
USE YOUR BEST TITLE:
Search engines consider a webpage title to be the most telling
description of the content of a website. This does not mean
the first major heading on the webpage itself; it means the
caption which appears on the title bar of your browser. It's
important to put as many keywords as possible in the title
of your main index page.
You get maximum exposure to your website with submissions to
major web site search engine companies.
