How to get a site to show on search engines ???, by Dellboyy on Sept 30, 2008 12:53:40 GMT 1, All search engines work differently though, some just build a list of sites, others use bots like google to crawl through searching for sites... have a look at the assistance each search engine gives.
There used to be software you could get that would submit your site to various engines, but i've not done anything like that in ages, so wouldn't know if it's still relevant.

Looks like I have insert some meta tags ( still reading up on this !) apparently
I am going to have to open the sites guts up and stick in some text I think - dangerous business fo a rank amateur!

How to get a site to show on search engines ???, by giiiant on Sept 30, 2008 13:18:54 GMT 1, best way is to get other sites to link to your site, generally the more there are the higher up your page appears on google as well

How to get a site to show on search engines ???, by achtungbono on Sept 30, 2008 13:24:13 GMT 1,
No, but I will!
I have a pile of big fat original Russian Agitprop posters from the 50's onwards upstairs - some are beautiful ( But I yet have to learn enough Russian to translate them !)
Ive got to photpgraph them and get them on the site when I have time
Not sure if anyone is into this stuff, but some of the designwork and imagery is quite amazing, if you are into this socialist realism stuff and its not soemthing you see around the place these days
Back to google now - have to lean some metatag stuff!

How to get a site to show on search engines ???, by breezied on Oct 2, 2008 16:15:40 GMT 1, Meta tags are not as useful as they used to be and even then only really appropriate to Yahoo, meta description is more important, but the thing to focus on is the actual URL, page title is useful and HX tags, H1, H2 etc etc.
Structure of the HTML is important try to avoid tables use CSS where possible, if your looking for search engines to crawl text on the site try to minimise use of flash to present content.
Very important!! Research your key terms!!
If you change your mind and want to pay for some professional SEO PM me.
Good luck! I love that Russian stuff!

How to get a site to show on search engines ???, by Deleted on Oct 2, 2008 16:42:34 GMT 1, just to add to breezied, getting links from high pagerank sites is probably the best thing you can do. The anchor text of those links should incorporate keywords as well. Don't bother creating links on domains you own as search engines use Whois to check the owner info. It's doable though...Google "Chinese urban art" or "Chinese graffiti art" and you'll see Red Star Press in the top 3 links

How to get a site to show on search engines ???, by fuzzed on Oct 2, 2008 18:48:05 GMT 1, Submitting sites to search engines doesn't really do a lot to be honest. As someone else in this thread mentioned google uses something called page rank to list it's sites. If your site has a lot of links elsewhere on the net pointing towards it, the more popular google thinks that page is and higher it will rank it.
Takes a while to get well established but you'll get there!
