The Internet houses billions of websites. And more and more, literally hundreds, are being added day after day. So if you have created your own unique website for the purpose of business, and are expecting a stream of visitors to it, it is not easy. How will they make their way to this particular website and realize that it is something special and different from others? Think about it.
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.
Where pay-per-click search engines are concerned, when web browsers type in specific keyword (s) into the search engine, some results are displayed. The minute a visitor clicks on the resulting websites, you will be charged a certain amount as the owner of that particular website. The payment depends on the keywords typed in or your rankings. If you want a higher rank, you pay more. So if you are more interested in getting traffic to your website rather than conducting any transactions, this option is the best.
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. - 15634
