Charlotte Web Design: Submission Tools

Get listing in search engines and directories is not as easy as some small businesses and entrepreneurs may think. This task normally takes a lot of time and commitment, and if you are not aware of the rules and regulations you run the risk of being rejected from being listed. As of lately, Search Engine Optimization professionals and companies who tend to their own websites are beginning to rely on software tools – submission tools.

A submission tool is defined as software applications that automatically submit a web site to search engines and directories. There are two types of submission tools available, they include:

Multi-submission tools – submits a website to multiple search engines and directories
Deep submission tools – submits those deep pages to search engines and directories; usually missed by search engine crawlers

When dealing with submission tools, all companies and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) professionals should be very cautious. There are certain submission tools that try to scam web site designers. These tools make you believe that they are going to submit a site to a large amount of directories and search engines for a low fee. Most of these search engines are either unreal or of no worth to a web site.

Why you should invest in a submission tool:

Improve your ranking
Save viable time
More traffic to website
Creates more backlinks

SEO professionals and small businesses should always conduct a thorough research of each submission tool they come across. Doing so is best before actually investing in one.

Where Do People Search?

There are many places where you can search for websites. Literally thousands of sites, in fact, provide the ability to search the Web. But, what you may not realize, however, is that many of those sites search only a small subset of the World Wide Web.

However, the majority of searches are carried out at a small number of search sites. How do the most popular search sites rank? That depends solely on how you measure popularity:

• Entire number of site guest
• Percentage of site visitors (audience reach)
• Total number of searches conducted on a site
• Total number of hours visitors spend searching at the site

Each individual measurement provides a slightly different ranking. Even though all of them provide a similar picture with the same sites generally appearing on the list, some are in to some extent different positions.

Below is a list of the world’s most popular search sites, based on one month of searches during August of 2007 (approximately 8 billion searches) according to a Nielson/NetRatings study. These statistics are for U.S. Internet users:

• Google.com – 53.6%
• Yahoo.com – 19.9%
• MSN.com – 12.9%
• AOL.com – 5.6%
• Ask.com – 1.7%
• My Web Search – 0.9%
• BellSouth Search – 0.5%
• Comcast Search – 0.4%
• My Way – 0.4%
• SBC Yellow Pages Search – 0.4%

Please remember that this is a list of search sites, not search systems. In some cases, the sites own their own systems. Google supplies its own search results, however AOL does not. My Web Search is a metasearch engine receiving results from Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com.
