Search Engine Optimization and Submission Faq

1. With all the search engine optimization and submission companies out there, why should I use Submit Today?

Submit Today's success in attaining top search engine ranking for our clients is largely attributed to our powerful Opti-Submit program. In early 2002, we thoroughly tested our program with other search engine optimization and submission companies, resulting in high rankings for their clients. Based on this success, we decided to take our Opti-Submit program in-house that summer and offered it directly to you, our customers. By eliminating the middleman, hundreds of Submit Today clients now enjoy these same benefits direct from the original source.

What does this mean for you? You will now deal solely with our account managers who are intimately involved with the Opti-Submit program, inside and out. After all, the ones who created it are the ones who know best how to use it effectively to get your Web site top search engine ranking. So any time you have a question, you can be guaranteed to get a qualified answer, not someone's best guesstimate. To that end, we can confidently guarantee top-notch customer service and satisfaction.

Our system can spider your Web site in real time and check for problems that may cause your site low ranking. Part of our Opti-Submit search engine optimization and submission program is server side-based which guarantees your listing to stay current -- and spidered every three days -- for the duration of your contract.

Upon initial registration, you will receive an email receipt confirming your purchase. You will then be assigned to an experienced account manager who will send you a welcome letter outlining the next steps in the search engine optimization process. Your account manager will then begin an extensive review of your Web site and provide you with custom-created meta tags and keywords as well as any other optimization steps necessary to increase your ranking potential on the major search engines.

The best way to determine which Opti-Submit package is most appropriate for your Web site is by having a Submit Today account manager review your site. However, here’s a good rule of thumb to keep in mind:

Opti-Submit: Our basic Opti-Submit package is typically for sites with up to three pages of content*.

Opti-Submit Plus: Our Opti-Submit Plus package is typically for sites with 5-10 pages of content*.

Opti-Submit Gold: Our Opti-Submit Gold package is typically for sites with 10 or more pages of content*.

Essentially, the more pages you have optimized, the more keywords search engines will rank you under. The more keywords search engines rank you under, the more your Web site will be found. Therefore, we cannot stress the importance of adding keyword-rich content to your Web site to gain maximum ranking potential.

Remember, with each Submit Today Opti-Submit search engine optimization and submission package, your Web site will be analyzed, optimized and submitted for top ranking with an ever-growing list of search engines. We'll also track your rankings and send you detailed monthly reports by email, enabling you to see exactly where your Web site stands on the search engines.

* Content refers to any detailed information regarding your business, products and/or services offered, etc. Content does not mean a “Contact Us” page, “Resources” page, or other pages with limited amounts of informative text.(Back to top)

3. When will I see my Web site listed on the search engines?

After search engine optimization and submission of your Web site, you will see your listing on most search engines in just three days. Please bear in mind it may take anywhere from 30-90 days to achieve high ranking due to the time it takes for search engine spiders to correctly index your site. Ranking takes time and is unfortunately a measure beyond any search engine optimization and submission company’s control. Effective search engine optimization and high rankings do not happen overnight. Be wary of SEO firms that claim to get you results within 2 to 3 weeks. A lot of preliminary work must be done before your site can be submitted to the search engines. Because it can take search engines anywhere from 30-60 days to update their indexes, how could a search engine optimization company guarantee to get you high ranking within 2 to 3 weeks?

4. What are meta tags and how do I optimize them?

Meta tags are HTML tags included in the header of a Web page that provide specific information about the content on that page. Many search engines place significant emphasis on meta tags to index the information on Web pages. As such, the use of meta tags is vital to get the information on your page included in search engine indexes. Does all this sound confusing? Not to worry. At Submit Today, we do the work for you and create effective tags that best suit your Web site. Don't forget -- included with every Submit Today package, we will create and optimize your meta tags for you. (Back to top)

Internet search engines are designed to help people find information stored on Web sites. They have three basic functions:

1. Search for keywords

2. Index the keywords and their locations

3. Allows users to find relevant information based on those keywords

Major search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, will index millions of pages and respond to tens of millions of searches each day. To find this information, a search engine uses special software robots -- commonly referred to as spiders -- to build a "results" page based on those keywords. These spiders are constantly being updated to provide users with the most accurate results when conducting a search.

At Submit Today, we strive to give you the best possible service by keeping current with the latest spidering criteria, which can change at a moment's notice. (Back to top)

A web spider -- or crawler -- is a software program designed by search engines to follow hyperlinks throughout a Web site, retrieving and indexing pages to document the site for searching purposes. (Back to top)

The answer is simple: The more pages optimized, the more keywords search engines will rank you under. The more keywords search engines rank you under, the more your Web site will be found. (Back to top)

Like many of the other ethical search engine optimization companies out there, we frequently get requests for guarantees of top ranking by potential clients. After all, there are many unethical SEO companies out there who will offer a guarantee. Be careful -- this is a marketing ploy to get you to purchase. This is an unethical practice and virtually impossible for a search engine optimization company to claim. After all, how can a company guarantee a service for which they have no control? The search engines alone control their algorithms, and their algorithms are always changing. We can’t -- and won’t -- offer a guarantee of top ranking. However, we will continually monitor and update our system to reflect the algorithmic changes and then pass that information on to our clients so they can achieve top ranking in an ethical manner.
