Search Engine Optimization

What next?


In the earlier step we have learnt how to get listed with Google. Here we are going to conclude our discussion with the details of how to list sites with the rest two of BIG THREE.


How to reach Yahoo and Live (Formerly MSN, now Bing)


Most websites get into Yahoo and Live by getting spidered from other sites. Meaning if you're already linked from another site or web directory, Live and Yahoo's robots will eventually find you when they update their search index.


If you don't want to wait to get spidered, you can submit directly to Live by going here http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx.


Do not keep re-submitting your site. It will not speed up the process of getting listed and may even get you banned.


Yahoo's direct submission site is www.search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html or http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit




The Yahoo Directory


Not to be confused with the regular Yahoo search function, the Yahoo directory is also a place you can add your site.


When you go to Yahoo.com and enter a search into the box, you are using their regular search engine, not the directory. So it is possible to be included in Yahoo's regular search index and not be included in their directory.


The Yahoo directory is actually a categorical listing of sites located here http://dir.yahoo.com/ and it's not used very much by web surfers.


The real benefit to being listed here is to have a high quality link pointing to your site. Many search engines look at who is linking to you and if you have a link from the Yahoo directory, it may give you some "credibility" points.


Some believe that having a listing in the directory will help boost your rank in Google and other engines. There is no solid proof of this, however. Yahoo also states that if you are listed in their directory, it does not have any affect on your position in their regular search results.


If your site is commercial it will cost you $299 per year to be included in Yahoo's directory. So if you can justify/afford the cost, I would still recommend getting into Yahoo just to have the high-quality link pointing to your site - but don't expect a lot of traffic from the actual page you'll be listed on.


It's up to you to decide if it's worth it or not. Many webmasters do quite well in the "Big 3" search engines without a listing in the Yahoo directory.


If you're building a money making website then free search engine traffic is an absolute must. To became successful, and to Earn Money Smartly from Home you have to know the trick..


It's only getting tougher out here to master Google and other engine's algorithm and so many people are doing it wrong as they sit and wonder why they can't find their site in the results. Good knowledge to do it right without wasting money will help in the process.
