| ENGINE CATEGORIES AND GENERAL REFERENCE INFORMATION ABOUT SUBMITTING TO SEARCH & LINK ENGINES.  
|
 Search engines are enormous data bases that contain information about millions of web pages which are located on the Internet… Excite, AltaVista, Yahoo, HotBot, Google, are just some examples of such Search Engines… If you want internet users to be able to find your site when they need your information or service, then you obviously have to register with Search Engines, which will allow people to easily locate your site… But first you should be familiar with the different types of engines and their various practices and qualification requirements... The Search Engines that accept the URL submissions will automatically put the submision in their queue for processing and most Search Engines do not send Confirmation emails, so you need confirmation from submission service used to let you know the submission results, providing total number of submissions made, how many accepted submissions, and how many failed... Since most Search Engines don't bother with "promotional" confirmation emails, the use of primary emails for submission to Search Engines is generally O.K. - In other words, you may use your PRIMARY or secondary email address for submissions to Search Engines since they will rarely attempt to inundate your Email box with promotional emails!.. Any listing by Search Engines in their search queries undoubtedly provide inherent traffic boost benefits over the long haul... The Search Engines may take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks or longer to register & list a website site... Search Engines keep listings much longer than Link Engines, however, however since they get new submissions continuously, the newer listings tend to move to the forefront initially and older ones tend to fall further back without constant updates... Consequently, a "one time submission" may be o.k. initially to get registered on Search Engine and included in their search queies, but repeated updates and ongoing "monthly submissions" will generally enhance your website positioning on Search Engines for their search queries and enhance traffic over the long haul... Most submission services lump the different engine databases together without identifying the class or category of the type of engine being submitted to… Engine name recognition is sometimes counted upon in service marketing, but after 20 or so engine names, it all just pretty much becomes a big blur for most people... Because many people seem to be familiar with the name Yahoo, which in fact is a search engine that actually functions like a search directory, but of course most people don't realize that, and so many submission services tend to use that name as an example to promote their service, like "Submit to 500 search engines including Yahoo", Excite USA Online, Google, Voila, DMOZ, NorthernLight, HotBot, Ableworld, Freeads200, DirectHit, AAADirectory, NzExplorer, HighTraffic, Globa6, LinkStation, eBusiness, Ultimatwebb, Link-scout, Ditto, etc., when in actuality they may only have 50 or 100 out the 500 in their database that we consider hardcore search engines… The 50 or 100 out of the 500 Search Engines in fact can further be identified as Major World Search Engines, as in the case of Excite, Voila, Google, and NorthernLight, etc., or identified as U.S. Search Engines as in the case of USA Online, AltaVista, HotBot and Ditto, etc., or identified as International Search Engines as in the case of NzExplorer and DirectHit, etc… The remaining 350 or 400 or more engines in many such submission databases often fall into other identifiable categories, often referred to as "Directories", but rarely presented in it's true form of "FFA Direcory Link Engines"... A very few may actually be Search Directories, which do exis, but are a very few in number, as in the case of Yahoo, DMOZ and AAADirectory... (Yahoo is actually a paid directory so free submissions to Yahoo are virtually useless, but Yahoo does pick up free listings from other major Search Engines to fill their search queries, (particularly from Google)... The remaining others are rarely "search directories", but rather mostly FFA Directories which are actually Free for All Network Directory Link Pages and Free Classified Ad Sites, NOT SEARCH DIRECTORIES, using Link Engine submissions for their site promotion as in the case of HighTraffic, LinkStation, Freeads2000, Link-scout and many others, OR Free FFA Link Sites that use the "FFA" format to promotye traffic, as in the case of Globa6, eBusiness, and Ultimatwebb, and Ableworld etc… Consequently, when you're submitting your site URL to X number of "Search Engines & Directories" with most services you are actually submitted to just a FEW "real" Search Engines and are MOSTLY submitted Link Engines & FFA's, which is why you get over filled with "promotional" confirmation emails... IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MANY ACTUAL "SEARCH ENGINES" AND HOW MANY "DIRECTORIES", WHICH IN EFFECT ARE USUALLY "FFA LINK PAGES" THAT A SUBMISSION SERVICE WILL SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO, IN ORDER TO SELECT THE RIGHT SERVICE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES!.. PARTICULARLY SINCE SEARCH ENGINE SUBMISSIONS ARE GOOD FOR ORIGINATING TRAFFIC OVER THE LONG HAUL, AND DIRECTORIES (WHICH IN MOST CASES ARE ACTUALLY FFA LINK PAGES) ARE ONLY GOOD FOR TEMPORARY TRAFFIC BOOST... THE REAL SEARCH ENGINE CATEGORIES CAN BE EASILY IDENTIFIED AS LISTED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS BELOW: U.S. & INTERNATIONAL AND MAJOR WORLD SEARCH ENGINES: (partially comprises most paid for search engine submissions to various extent, usually without category distinction in relations to the actual number of such search engines included in their total engine submissions, but in the case of free automated submissions, the selection of engine names are sometimes offered, although not the search engine category, and even the engine selections are usually limited to just a few)... All three types of these engines are generally referred to as Search Engines, but are rarely distinguished since there’s only a few hundred accessible in comparison to other engine types since many charge a fee for listing websites and require opening a prepaid credit card account where they compute charges every time they refer a visitor to the site registered … Automated submissions to fee based search engines will undoubtedly fail each and every time… However, regular submission to search engines that do not charge a fee is undoubtedly a useful and powerful approach to merchandising & promotion of any website even though there’ only a few hundred of these types of search engines accessible and submission results from these engines may not appear at once or may take some time to benefit from… Multiple submission or consistent monthly submission to each such search engine is usually necessary for improving your website’s positioning since their databases contain millions of websites… Most engines in the International Search Engine Category will allow submittions only when a specially selected domain is specified (e.g..org). Submission to such engines of a URL with a restricted domain will not be successful… Some search engines will not accept a repeat submission of a site URL that is already listed in their data base until they drop their listing of the site, but more often than not, they don't necessarily cross reference initially the URL address being submitted, but rather the email address used for submission of a particular site... The main purposes of this is not just to limit duplicate listings, but to also limit separate submissions of each page URL of a particular website.. Consequently, not just repeat submissions, but also even multiple submissions of different websites to a search engine may often fail if the same email address is used for each submission to a particular engine, even if the websites are different sites with entirely different URL addresses... DIRECTORIES & PORTALS: (generally lumped into most paid for search engine submissions occasionaly with category distinction, bust mostly just added in conjunction with search engine headings, but most free automated submissions rarely identify this category separately, generally referred to as Directories, sometimes categorized with PORTALS as in Directories & Portals)... There are a few real search Directories, but most are paid Directories and rarely accept free listings... Consequently the "Directories" title is often misused and actually refers in most cases to FFA Directories which in effect are Link Engines posting to Free For All Network Directories, Link Pages, and Classified Ad Sites... In connection with those rare "real" search Directories, specifying your site’s details and selecting your site category is very important in submissions to such engines since your application form will be examined by a human being who is to make the final decision as to whether or not your site will be added to the directory. Many Directories & Portals such as Yahoo charge substantial fees for listings, which means that they cannot be successfully submitted by paid for submission services or by any free automated submission service. But even when individually submitted and the registration fee required is paid, there’s no guarantee that the site submitted will be registered… Mostly all real search directories such as Yahoo are not only fee based, but also have a considerably long and extensive categorical selection process which makes it practically impossible to successfully submit an application through any automated process… If a Directory does not have a simple site categorization process and is not fee based for submissions, then a direct manual submission is the best approach, particularly with highly specialized Directories that are primarily geared to specific groups or professions. However, there are some Directories that make automated submissions easy and are well worth submitting to in the long run, since most keep the listings approved in their database until notified to remove same, but unfortunately their acceptance rate is not very high since many are limited by the human factor concerning the listing & approval process and are also often limited by being specialty oriented... ADULT SEARCH ENGINES: (occasionally included in general search engine submissions, not necessarily, with category distinction))... Although most major Search Engines have an "adult category" for submissions, there are also Search Engines that specialize in adult websites, although they tend to have other categories for their search queries as well... Websites with adult related content are best for submission to such engines and most submissions to engine sites in this category are generally intended for adults, but can be for listing of websites in other categories also... Link Engines are usually associated with Free For All Link Sites and most often are lumped into the "Directories" category by most submission services... You may think you are getting submitted to a thousand search engines with a particular service, when in effect there might only be 100 "real" Search Engines in the Group and the other 900 are lumped into the "Directory" category, but in effect are FFA Link Engines for posting to FFA Network Directories, individual website Free For All Link Pages, and Classified Ad Sites, NOT "real search directories"... Link Engines are generally good only for immediate temporary traffic boost since FFA Directories & Classifieds drop listings within specific time frames or whenever their listing allotments are full, in order to make room for new submissions... A "one time submission" to Link Engines may be good only to get your hit counter jumping for a short while, since FFA's have limited number of listing space per category and automatically drop listings by replacing previous listings with new listings submitted at any time when a category is full... Repeated weekly submissions or "monthly subscription" for resubmissions each month however will get you relisted temporarily each time and will result in more regular traffic boost from FFA Directory & Classified browsers... All Link Engines will send "promotion" emails initially in the form of "confirmations" of URL posting, and some may even delay several days in sending their confirmations in order to increase the chances of their emails being read... Consequently, in case the submission service you have selected includes submissions to Link Engines, then it is advisable to use a SECONDARY Email address for submissions to Link Engines if you don't want to inundate your primary Email box with promotional emails!.. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW MANY FFA "LINK ENGINES" OR "DIRECTORIES", WHICH IN EFFECT ARE USUALLY "FFA LINK PAGES" THAT A SUBMISSION SERVICE WILL SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO IN ADDITION TO STANDARD SEARCH ENGINES, IN ORDER TO SELECT THE RIGHT SERVICE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES!... ESPECIALLY SINCE LINK ENGINE SUBMISSIONS ARE GOOD FOR TEMPORARY TRAFFIC BOOST OVER THE SHORT HAUL, WHEREAS SUBMISSIONS TO STANDARD SEARCH ENGINES ARE USUALLY GOOD FOR SITE POSITIONING AND TRAFFIC BUILD UP OVER THE LONG HAUL... THE ACTUAL LINK ENGINE CATEGORIES CAN BE EASILY IDENTIFIED AS LISTED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS BELOW: FFA NETWORK DIRECTORIES & LINK PAGES: (generally lumped into most paid for search engine submissions without category distinction, but some free automated submissions specifically identify this category since there’s thousands upon thousands of FFA websites, usually referred to as FFA or FFA Network, or FFA’s or Free for all Pages or FFAs & Classifieds or sometimes as FFA Links, or FFA Classified Ads, or as Free for all Ad Sites): Basically there are network FFA engines you can submit to and there are individual member site directory engines that you can also submit to.. Postings never stay up too long on either of these types... One FFA Network submission however can result in 5000 member directory site postings, where as individual FFA link submission will only be on that particular site-link.... Submitting to engines in this category is equal to submitting to a wide variety of sites and will often result in substantial confirmation email response... You can take precautionary measures against receiving bulk email by using a secondary email address for submitting to these engines instead of your primary email address… Some FFA sites as most Classified Ad Sites, automatically assign a pass code to submissions accepted which they email immediately after acceptance and will not accept future submissions for a website using the same email as earlier submitted unless a new email is used... CLASSIFIED AD SITE ENGINES: (also generally lumped into most paid for search engine submissions without category distinction, but some free automated submissions specifically identify this category since there’s thousands upon thousands of such engines, usually referred to as Classifieds, or Classified Ads or Free Classified Ad Sites or as Classifieds & Message Boards)... Many classified ad sites, as some FFA sites, automatically assign a pass code to submissions accepted which they email immediately after acceptance and will not accept future submissions for a website using the same email as earlier submitted unless a new email is used… You can manually change & update earlier listings with such engines by logging on to the site using the pass code they provided in their initial listing confirmation, however if you lost the pass code you have to relist using a different email address... FORUMS & MESSAGE BOARDS: (often lumped into most paid for search engine submissions without category distinction, but some free automated submissions specifically identify this category often used for advertising websites, usually referred to as Forums or Message Boards or Classifieds & Message Boards, or FFA Classified Ads & Boards)... Although in many cases it can be a reasonably good form of advertising a website, most Message Board engine submissions require passwords for the individual submitter, or allow only one submission, so consequently not many of these engines are included in paid for submissions or free automated submission opportunities... FREE FOR ALL LINK PAGES: (also generally included in most search engine submissions, but although they’re usually lumped into FFA Directory submissions, some automated submissions specifically identify this category since there’s thousands upon thousands of OF FFA Websites, usually referred to as FFA Links, or Link to FFAs, or FFA Link Pages, or FFA Network Links, or Promotional FFA LinkSites, or Link to FFA and advertise your site, or just FFA Links)... Submissions to these engines and FFA sites are usually based on the general "link objective" perspective, since linking a site to other websites can generally enhance the positioning on search engines... Generally the greater number of other sites your website is linked to, the more importance to your site is equated by search engine crawlers... This general rule is a primary reason why so many website owners "in the know" try to keep their sites linked to as many other websites as possible in which case the type of site linked to is not necessarily much of a factor under the circumstances!.. Most Free For All Link Pages are actually individual link pages added to individual websites, but there are also FFA Network Link Engines that will post to all FFA Memeber Sites... The sites in this category can register only a limited number of links… Double registration of the same link is not allowed in most cases so therefore any multiple submissions even regarding different websites to these engines will not be successful unless a different email address is used each time when the next link is submitted for registration… Consequently, as an example, in case your site is submitted to 1000 engines in this category and when your submission service notifies you of the results you find that there was a high ratio of failed submissions, chances are that your email is already registered with the FFA Link engine submissions that failed and to resubmit again you’ll need to use a new email address...

 -E-L-I-M-I-N-A-T-E- the overwhelming time investment requirements that are connected with MANUAL & AUTO SUBMISSIONS or the outrageous costs or any unreliability problems that may be connected with most MINIMAL OR SMALL DATA BASE SUBMISSION SERVICES! |
WUSA offers a well rounded & reliable URL Submission Service, using a multiple engine data bases for submissions, enabkling customers to select from a variety of service packages better suited to their specific needs and budgets... Our highly professional service approach is clearly focused on both short term & long term traffic boost objectives of customers and the key factors connected with Web Promotions and Listings on the different types of Search Engines & Directories!.. OUR LOW PRICED SUBMISSION SERVICE packages HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO ACCOMODATE BOTH "ONE TIME SUBMISSION" AND "MULTIPLE OR ONGOING MONTHLY SUBMISSION" SERVICE REQUIREMENTS CONNECTED WITH WEB PROMOTION PURSUIT OBJECTIVES AND THE DIFFERENT SEARCH ENGINE LISTING AND LINK ENGINE POSTING PRACTICES... A ONE TIME SUBMISSION TO THE TOP SEARCH ENGINES IS UNDOUBTEDLY NECESSARY FOR INITIAL REGISTRATION AND TO ESTABLISH SEARCH ENGINE LISTINGS, HOWEVER MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS ARE ALSO NECESSARY TO UPDATE & MAINTAIN SEARCH ENGINE LISTINGS... FURTHERMORE, REPEATED MONTHLY SUBMISSIONS ON A REGULAR BASIS TO SEARCH ENGINES ARE NECESSARY TO PROGRESSIVELY ENHANCE SEARCH ENGINE POSITIONING & POPULARITY FOR SEARCH QUARIES!.. Positioning enhancement has to do with consistent efforts to progressively move a website up to the first page or to the first 10 or 20 result listings on relevant search quaries from the initial 20th or 100th or 200th result listing page on major search engines, which is virtually impossible to accomplish without PERIODIC MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS and usually requires REGULAR MONTHLY URL SUBMISSIONS for the subject website... Link popularity enhancement in part has to do with site credability improvements resulting from links created on other websites in view of periodic assessments made by search engines based on how many other sites maintain regular links to the subject website, however it also has to do with website content assessments, which inevitably requires submissions of the URL's of multiple key pages of the subject website, not just the Index or Home page.... WUSA's MAKES SUBMISSIONS TO THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF SEARCH & LINK ENGINES, INCLUDING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEARCH & FFA DIRECTORIES CATEGORICALLY... YOU CAN SELECT A SUBMISSION SERVICE PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES ALL CATEGORIES OF ENGINES & DIRECTORIES OR SELECT SUBMISSIONS TO SPECIFIC ENGINE TYPES FOR DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES... First you have the U.S. & INTERNATIONAL AND WORLD SEARCH ENGINES AND SEARCH PORTALS WORLD WIDE... Submissions to these Engines are imperative for the reason clearly outlined above... NEXT YOU HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL WEBSITE LINK ENGINES (OR FREE FOR ALL LINK PAGES) AND FFA GROUP LINK SITE DIRECTORIES.. Monthly submissions to these are imperative to increase the linkage base of any particular website, which can be enourmously helpful in establishing link popularity with major search engines which assess the number of sites that carry links to a particular website... Additionally, the potential traffic flow from each site that maintains the listing is an added benefit, although most people misunderstand the concept and submit to such Engines for reverse reasons and thus never really satisfy their objectives... It often takes a while for web owners to realize that the incredible number of hours it takes to try and make 200 individual submissions to Search Engines, or to make URL submissions to 200 different FFA Link engines manually will never ever result in enough traffic to pay for the time invested in researching & finding the submission links in the first place, plus for the minimum 5 to 10 minutes needed for each manual submission... When reality finally sets in, it's usually too late to maintain a positive outlook regarding such submissions... Web owners who have and maintain the right perspectives however, can rarely find opportunities to make paid submissions to a large number of both Search Engines and Link Engines at equitably low and affordable prices... And that's just one of the big problems that WUSA's service has eliminated for Entrepreneurs and Webmasters, by making both PERIODIC ONE TIME SUBMISSIONS or ONGOING MONTHLY SUBMISSIONS to such Engines truely cost effective!.. NEXT YOU HAVE THE LINK ENGINES FOR POSTING TO FFA NETWORK DIRECTORIES AND CLASSIFIED AD SITES many of which usually have a large number of member sites... Consequently, getting a website posted on 200,000 or 300,000 or more FFA sites is quite realistic, which can definitely make a real dent in satisfying web promotion objectives, both in areas of traffic build up and link popularity enhancement... Getting your site posted on 10,000 FFA Link Sites may require submission to just 1 Link Engine if they are all FFA Member Sites of the same FFA Network or it may take submissions to only a 1000 Link Engines to get posted and URL linked to over a million FFA Directories and Classified Ad Sites... If the FFA's submitted to are all individual Free For All Link Pages then it would take 500 Link Engine submissions to get posted & linked on 500 individual Link Pages... Smaller FFA Groups often have 50 to 300 or more mebersites sites, which can usually be posted to from 1 main Link Engine submission link for the group... Larger FFA group of member sites can range from perhaps 3,000 to 15,000 or more sites and some may even perhaps have as many as 100,000 FFA group member sites, each of which could post a URL submitted to the FFA Group's main submission link... However, FFA Link Engine submissions are generraly good only for temporary traffic boosts, unlike Search Engines submissions which are usually more beneficial over the long haul... Any degree of success with such Engines is generally fleeting since the listings are usually dropped in a matter of days and in some cases with larger networks perhaps even in a matter of hours... FFA Site Directories with lower traffic levels may be able to maintain a listing of a URL submission perhaps for as long as a week, but it's more likely that a listing will only be posted for a few days if categorically there's only a small number of sites can be posted and listings are dropped with new submissions when posting capacity is reached... Even most Classified Ad sites which tend to hold listings the longer will drop submission within one month and in many cases within one week... Consequently, to enjoy benefits of such submissions on an ongoing basis, both in the area of link popularity and traffic build up, repeated submission or regular monthly submission to such Link Engines is obviously the answer... However, either or both the time investment requirements or the usual service expense problems connected with submissions to a larger number of such Engines tends to minimize submissions in this area after a while and thus eventually minimize or eliminate any benefits that can be derived in this area... However, WUSA's Worldwide URL Submission Service has changed all that... PERIODIC ONE TIME SUBMISSIONS or MULTIPLE OR ONGOING MUNTHLY SUBMISSIONS to a large number of Engines in this category for our customers is now possible at EASILY AFFORDABLE PRICES, enabling customers to consistently take advantage of the benefits that can be derived from having one or more of their website URL addresses & descriptive data submitted to such Link Engines!.. THEN FINALLY, YOU HAVE THE LINK ENGINES FOR POSTING TO MAJOR FFA NETWORKS AND FFA SITE LISTING DIRECTORIES which generally tend to have a large number of network members... Submission to such Link Engines can have tremendous benefits since it's possible that a mere 20 or 30 Link Engines will get a website URL posted & linked to over 500,000 FFA Network Directories of individual member sites... The ability to submit to Link Engines in this category can obviously result in a much wider range of website exposure... Consequently, 500,000 or a million or more submissions at a time in this category is more than possible and quite probable with many such Networks having anywhere from 1000 to 100,000 member sites... However, the listing turnover on most of these FFA Network sites can easily range from a matter of minutes to a matter of time because of the large number of submission received daily... Because of the large degree of traffic on these FFA Network Directory Engines, submissions can be made to such Engines once per day which many web owners tend to do in spurts now and then... After a while, it tends to become apparant that the potential benefits derived from such submissions is far from equitable in relations to the time investment requirements or the usually high paid submission expense because most services configure the number of Network Engines involved in the posting of listings, instead of the actual number of Networks involved... Once again our BOTN-Group's World Wide URL Submission Service has eliminated such problems facing web owners and have made both PERIODIC ONE TIME or ONGOING MONTHLY SUBMISSIONS to a large number of Link Engines in this category easily affordable by our customers!..

Or click on the following link to go over the key facors again regarding "The Different Types of Search Engines & Directories and their URL Listing Practices & Policies" as outlined at the top of this section page in detail!..
