how does my website get into the search engines?

There is a strong love/hate relationship between search engines and website owners. While getting a Top-10 listing in a major search engine can be quite a traffic generator, the rules to doing so are elusive and ever-changing.

Search engines have to fight back against spammers who work to skew the results for searches with websites that have no relevance to the phrase searched for, just to get traffic. (Ever get back 10,000 thousand results that had little or nothing to do with the phrase you searched for? That's the spammers in action!)

Also, considering that many of the major search engines and directories are now charging (up to $300 a year) to be listed, you need to be very selective in where you submit and how you structure your website.

My advice is to submit your website to each search engine manually (each search engine has directions how to do this) and hope for the best, but do not expect any miracles. By making sure your content is key phrase-rich, easy to index, as well as the rest of your website's coding is standard and search-engine friendly, Mike Truese Creations paves the way for your website to be warmly received by the search engine spiders.

The #1 method of getting your pages into search engines is to provide great content around topics of your expertise! That's hard work, but there are no shortcuts.

Mike Truese Creations can help you prepare your website for search engine submission, including the creation of proper Title Tags & Meta-Descriptions, as well as ALT-attribute editing and 'keywords in content' reviews. If all that sounded very technical, well, let's just say we make sure your website and content is as ready as possible for inclusion in the search engines.

We cannot guarantee any positioning in any search engine - beware of anyone who does, as they are selling snake oil!
