Masters of Marketing - Lifecycle Performance Pros

Fourth, you get ranked. Yay! People can find you. Now to
improve your rankings (in DAY 8).
Let’s start at the beginning...
--
STEP 1) Submit Your URLs...
Submitting your site to the engines is a tedious affair,
because each engine likes to receive submissions in
different ways...
o they each have their own submission pages.
o some only want to receive your home page. Some let you
submit every page of your site.
o some allow you to submit many pages in a day... others
only one.
And, to make it all nastier... they change policies from
time to time!
Still, it’s a necessary task. Yes, there *are* submission
services and software. But, unless I *REALLY* know someone,
I trust important stuff like this only to myself. I’d
suggest the same for you.
Luckily, a mere seven major free Search Engines account,
either directly (through their own search services) or
indirectly (through partner sites), for about 95% of your
traffic. Let’s stay on the right side of the 80-20 Rule
(actually 95-5 here!) and only submit to them.
Go to the submit URLs of the following engines and research
their current submission policies. Then start submitting...
