To bring people to your site in the first place you
can either rely on nothing but word of mouth or offline
promotions (e.g. - newspaper, radio, t.v.). But why
not use the true power of the World Wide Web in reaching
anyone in the world who might be searching for the
perfect site to satisfy their wants and needs; yours.
Many
companies out there are offering to promote your site
for free to hundreds or even thousands of search engines
and guarantee that you will show up very well on all
of them. Just give them your web address and a few
key words and presto, you're in business. Impossible!
To
begin with, out of all the search engines and search
indexes in existence, a few will accept and post your
site based on those loose criteria. Unfortunately,
out of those that will really point visitors in your
direction, most have special requirements on length
of description, length of list of keywords, whether
they accept redirects, etc.. Also, if your site is
mainly a distributor of hubcaps, why be listed on
an index based on searches of music sites?
It
really is a no guarantee practice, but with experience
and knowledge of what works, it is possible to increase
the chances of someone interested in your product
or content easily finding you. To succeed, it takes
more of a personal touch, as well as knowledge of
what your site is really about to properly submit
to these powerful searching tools. Above anything
else, Site-Flyte offers you the personal touch on
all aspects of the development of your web presence.
