Hurray, You Have a Website. What's Next, Count Your Money.
True or No?
by Dane Masters
So, you finally have your website up and running eh? Great!
Now all you have to do is to sit back and wait for the
visitors to come right on. But wait a minute there With over
a billion websites existing at present and hundreds of
thousands being added each day, how are visitors ever going
to find their way to your website?
Here is where URL search engines play a tremendous role!
What is this URL search engine? Well, this program has been
created for the purpose of guiding web browsers to a
particular website of their choice. The search is based on
keyword or keywords. Every keyword leads the searcher to
web pages that relate to it and get the information that
they are seeking. The front-end in each search engine is
used for typing in your question. When the query is typed
in, hundreds of URLs are displayed on the results page,
according to their order of ranking.
But how do you submit your URL to search engines in the
first place. With some URL search engines, it is as easy as
going to the website and putting in your website URL for
inclusion. For instance the URL search engine Google
(www.google.com) feeds over 80 search engines, including the
likes of AOL. So, visiting their website to ask for a free
listing will ensue that if your URL is selected for
inclusion, at least 80 search engines will reflect your URL
in their search results. Inktomi is another URL search
engine that feeds over 125 search engines including Yahoo,
HotBot, MSN and several others. But Inktomi has no free
submissions available. It only features paid search strings
and submitting your URL here may not be worth the while.
But of course, you do not enhance the popularity of your
website merely by putting it up on search engines. You do
not even ensure top ranking for it! Your URL should get an
index on the search engine. This process takes anywhere
between a month and 8 weeks at times. Only if your website
achieves some fame during this time, will it be indexed. So
for quick results, opt for the pay-per-click option.
In pay per click search engines, users will type certain
keywords in a URL search engine and will get a set of
results. Whenever they click on these results, the owner of
the URL will be charged a certain amount. This amount is
determined by how common the keywords are or how high up in
the search listings you want to be listed. But if volume of
traffic rather than transaction is your game, then the pay
per click route will prove to be very attractive indeed.
Everything seems so easy on paper, but it is not really so!
Imagine you have opted for the above-mentioned option. A
few visitors click on your websites, but there are not
really enough of them. Then is the amount you are paying
substantiated by the traffic generated to your website or
not? Will it really be worth it in the end? Your URL on
the search engine results may become popular or not so
popular. The expenses you have incurred are going more for
advertising and marketing than for ensuring that your
website becomes well known to visitors! So give it some
serious thought before you go in for such an option. - 15668
