Can I submit my own website to the Search Engines?

<< Back to Frequently Asked Questions Index

We have included hints and tips on our site to help you get the best results from your own web site.
There are several reasons for this:-

Do It Yourself
If you feel you wish to "do it yourself", we don't mind having helped you on your way. We hope you will remember us when you wish to go further, or when you get so busy making sales that you no longer have time to "do it yourself".

Use Our Services
If you thinking of using our services, we are happy to encourage you to know more about web design, and web site and page submission.
We believe in being open and honest about our methods and services.
We will both be working towards the same goal, maximising the success of your site.
The more we understand each other, the better we can achieve those goals.
The more you appreciate the thoughts and effort which go into our side of the deal, the keener you will be to let us do the job for you. This should be especially so if your web site really takes off in a big way, and you find yourself adding hundreds or even thousands of extra pages. Its a lot of work managing the extra pages, obviously we need to charge more for large sites because we need to monitor and submit more pages. We like you to know what you will be paying for.

Use Our Competitors?
There is a lot of hype out there about website submission, people offering to submit your site to the top 20 search engines free, or 2,000 search engines for $99, also for web submission software. Some of these sites and services probably offer reasonably good value, but many do not, and using them carelessly may actually harm your listings.
If you have read all the information on our site, you will be better placed to avoid any of our competitors who make wild exaggerated claims, or who try to conceal how little they do by referring mysteriously to "secret" techniques.

Your Contribution Content
Much of the advice we give here, we find ourselves repeating to our clients. We cannot get you the top slots without you putting in plenty of effort also.
One piece of advice we find ouselves giving to most of our clients is to increase the amount of "content", both within individual pages, and also by adding more pages, each relating to a specialised topic relevant to your site and your business.
