Site Promotion Options
OVERVIEW
The search engine market changes so rapidly that it
is almost impossible to keep up. Currently, Google (the
largest search engine at this time) is moving towards
penalizing people using automated software for submissions.
This is greatly hindering the usefulness of past products/services
that were once successful.
For instance, NetMechanic is a service that lets you
"one-click" submit your site to over 100 search
engines easily. However, now that search engines are frowning
upon this, it is increasingly risky to use services like
that. Basically, the search engines take on it is that
if your site isn't worth manually entering; then it's
not worth getting a high ranking. I'm not sure that I
agree with that, but there's not much that we can do about
it.
USING AUTOMATED SERVICES
There are services out there now springing up to submit
your listings automatically using "manual" processes.
These places give elaborate explanations of how this contradiction
in terms works; but ultimately, they are still using automated
software to try to trick the search engines. And, as many
have learned, trying to trick the search engines can get
you banned. So, if you want to take part in those programs,
you should be aware of the risks.
Other places -like PositionTech- are widely known and
respected for truly entering your data manually. We were
actually going to use them for some of our own site promotion
(due to reasonable price of $249 annually) to free up
our time for more important tasks. But, we emailed them
several times to get a feel for the type of support we
could expect and we never received a reply. So, unfortunately,
we could not use them. We do not work with companies that
we can not communicate with --except for Yahoo and other
monolopolies for which we do not have a choice, naturally.
At any rate, these services might be worth the money,
but we do not know first-hand.
The best bet? Do it yourself or try to find an expert
that will take the time to communicate with you. Hand
submit your site and you will probably be happier with
the results over the long term.
