Search Engine HQ
Ever submitted your pages to the major Search Engines? You know how tedious it is. Over and over again, for each page. What a waste of time.
That's why they are not really "free." Because time, after all, is money.
Good news! SBI! saves you tons of time.
WorldSubmitter stays constantly up to date with the latest submitting requirements of the major Search Engines and automates the process.
Whenever you build or modify a page, WorldSubmitter automatically makes changes to the sitemap XML file. Whether the submission is done by building/rebuilding the sitemap file or by making strategic Priority Build It! recommendations, submissions are always done strictly according to the way and frequency that the engines want them, and exactly the way a human would submit them by hand.
The Submit-Spider-List Report (click on each page in the Page Name column to get this) tells you...
- when each page was last submitted
- when it was last spidered (i.e., when each engine's "scooping robot" last came to your site and brought each page back to its database home)
- when it was last found to be indexed (officially listed in each engine's database).
After your page has been submitted, spidered, and listed, the Keyword Ranking Report (on the Search Engine HQ page itself) tells you where your page ranks, at each major engine, for the specific keyword of that page!
The Keyword Searches Report (click on each keyword in the Keyword column to get this) tells you...
- the keyword search(es) that found that page, along with how many times
- which search engine(s) found that page for each keyword search, along with how many times
- how you rank today for each keyword search at that engine (click on each link to see)
- even how many times each page is found for images (images can be content, too). If images are an important part of your content, more detailed image-reporting is available in the Image Search HQ.
To get your most current Keyword Searches Report, click on the Update It! button that appears in the Keyword Searches Report column in SE HQ. SBI! will send you an e-mail once it has been processed.
What do all these reports mean for you, practically speaking?
There is absolutely...
- no need to worry about whether the Search Engines "got the message." SBI! tells you when the SEs send their little "robots" to spider through your newly built pages.
- no need to check constantly at the engines to see when your pages become available in their listings. SBI! tells you that, too.
- no need to check how your page ranks for your keywords. SBI! does that for you. And if you're not doing so well, just click on the Analyze It! button (A) to see if/how you should change your page to rank higher! Then click on the Edit button (E) to do it! See the TrafficCenter section of DAY 7 of the Action Guide for more information.
-
no need to over-Analyze/Edit -- The Keyword Ranking Report shows you how each page ranks for its Specific Keyword. If a page is not doing so well, just click on the Analyze It! button (A) to see how you should change your page to rank higher! Then click on the Edit button (E) to do it! See the TrafficCenter section of DAY 7 of the Action Guide for more information.
Important Note: Make sure that your Specific Keyword for each page is the first one listed in its META Keyword text entry box (i.e., in the Page Information section, when you build each page), or in your META Keyword tag if you are uploading your own HTML pages.
All you have to do is come to Search Engine HQ.
A note regarding Directories...
SBI! does not submit to the directories. The large ones (Yahoo! and Open Directory Project) require a human, manual submission. There is no way to automate that. Use Search It!'s Inbound Link Opportunities search to find useful smaller directories to submit your site to.
The smallest directories are simply not worth it -- do not waste your time or money on submission programs that do this (i.e., "we submit to 456 directories, blah, blah, blah").
See this TNT series for more info about submitting to directories.
