Getting Organized Tuning the Head Tuning the Body The Welcome Mat PageRank and Links Dubious Tricks Submitting Your Site The List Other Resources |
IntroductionThis page is intended as a guide to the beginning webmaster. It covers the basics of search engines and directories, and how to get your web site listed on each. I'll also cover how to get listed in the right places, which could be even more important. I'm going to try to keep this site accessible to everyone. Please be patient if you already know some of this; there's more good information coming. Disclaimer: The actual methods that search engines use to rank pages is a jealously-guarded secret. Worse, they change frequently and without notice. There are ways to guess what criteria are being used at any given moment, but I'm not interested in doing that much work, and neither are most of you. Besides, I'd have to update this page every few days, and that's a pain. What I will tell you is the general (and easy) tricks that will always help, and the ones that will get you in trouble. If you want to be listed Number 1 on all of the major search engines, you're looking in the wrong place. And you probably need to rethink why you're doing this.
