search engine and directory submissions

Search Engine Submissions

Submitting your website to search engines sounds simple enough yet most developers skip this step because of cost or unfamiliarity with the submission process. Submitting your website CORRECTLY to a search engine is critical in that if a mistake is made, it may take 1-3 months before you can resubmit and see results. A mistake at this stage will result in delayed indexing and ranking in search engines.

There are two basic forms of search engine submission: Free Inclusion and Paid Inclusion.

Free Inclusion is a submission process that is free of charge. Due to high volume, this process can take as much as six months before the search engine processes the submission.

Paid Inclusion is a submission process similar to the Free Inclusion in every except that a fee is paid to the search engine to speed up the process. However, this process can still take some time. Fees vary from search engine to search engine and are typically around $300/each.

Directory Submissions

In addition to submitting your website to search engines, Web Design Image submits your site to multiple directories. A directory is a database often categorized for specific industries and/ore regions. An example of a directory is any of the phone directories such as Yellow Pages. Other directories are more industry specific such as FindLaw for the legal industry.
