Search
engine optimization isn't easy. If it were, everyone would be
doing it. If you're new to this ever-changing world, take a
look through our articles
for a detailed glimpse of what makes for effective search engine
optimization. As you'll soon see, it's not as easy as pushing
a button and -- PRESTO -- you're in the top 10.
However,
many smaller companies simply haven't allotted enough money
in their marketing budget for search engine optimization. While
our services are comparably inexpensive, smaller websites are
operating on a shoestring budget and can't afford to shell out
$2, never mind $200. So, what's an eager new website owner to
do? For some, free search engine submission services are a great
alternative.
Free
Submission
There
are thousands of sites offering free search engine submission.
There are no hidden costs -- these sites are really free. At
Submit Today, we offer our version of free submission, called
Free-Submit. But, before you enter your URL, there are some
things you should consider in order to achieve maximum results:
1.
Keywords: A major factor in search engine algorithms is
the use of effective keywords. If you target the wrong keywords
when developing your keyword strategy, it could negatively affect
your search engine ranking. By selecting the right keywords,
you will increase your chances for top ranking. Improve your
keyword strategy with our Search
Term Suggestion Tool (powered by Overture). This powerful
tool will generate the most popular keywords for your specific
business based on how many times that keyword or keyword phrase
is searched for each month. You can then take that information
and develop your keyword strategy based on those results. For

2.
Meta Tags: Meta tags are important to search engine optimization
-- they describe and categorize the contents of a web page.
If you fail to include meta tags, the pages of your site may
not get categorized the way you'd like by search engine spiders.
These search engine spiders recognize that Web site owners frequently
use meta tags to control their positioning in search engine
rakings and, as a result, many search engines program their
spiders to read meta tags as part of their indexing formulas.
To that end, the creation of meta tags is vital to the search
engine optimization of your site. Click on our free Meta
Tag Generator to create your own meta tags. For more information

3.
Submission: Please note that our Submit-Free service will
only announce your Web site; we cannot guarantee submission
or ranking. You only need to enter your information once. Some
search engines consider it spamming and may penalize those sites
that submit the same URL more than once. It is equally important
to note that a good majority of the Web sites submitted through
Submit-Free have optimization problem(s) that will negatively
affects their search engine ranking. If your site does not show
up in the search engines or if it doesn't achieve high ranking,
you may want to consider using one of our Opti-Submit
search engine optimization packages.
The
major advantage to using a free search engine submission service
is the fact that they are indeed free. Whether you use a service
such as ours, or if you decide to hand-submit to each search
engine individually, you can still submit your site for free.
Many of these services even offer free advice on free submission
and search engine optimization.
