Top Search Engines E-Commerce Search Engines Bloomington-Area Directories
TOP SEARCH ENGINESThe rankings below come from a Feb 2004 comscore Media Matrix report. While percentages have changed since then, the overall market shares are roughly the same.
Google is overall the top search engine. Yahoo and MSN are also “must haves,” while AskJeeves should be considered very important.Google 35% Uses its own crawler as well as the Open Directory project, which functions similarly to Yahoo. You’ll need to pick a category. Open Directory results are also used by other SEs. For pay-per-click (PPC) options, see Google AdWords Select .
Yahoo 28% After purchasing Inktomi in 2003, Yahoo changed their focus from being a directory (human-edited themed collection of links) to a search engine (automatic indexing of Web pages). They offer free site submission (Yahoo registration required) for automatic indexing. They offer Yahoo! Express for sites to be listed in their directory within 7 days (cost $299). You can also still submit sites to the human-edited directory (paid and free options). Yahoo! displays results at AltaVista, AllTheWeb, and Overture.
AOL 16% Utilizes Open Directory and Google crawler-based results and Google’s AdWords Select for paid (“sponsored”) results. Still lists AOL editors’ picks at top of results. Displays results for Netscape Search.
MSN.com 15% Free inclusion No guarantee you’ll actually be added to the index.$49/yr for paid inclusion for small businesses. Uses it's own program to display paid (“sponsored”) results.Ask Jeeves 3% No longer accepting site submissions to Ask.com directly. Offers paid submission to other search engines.
InfoSpace [formerly Webcrawler] 1.6% Metasearch engine returning results from Google, Teoma, and others. Owns or operates metasearch engines Dogpile, Excite, WebCrawler, and MetaCrawler. Does not have an independent index, so does not accept URLs for submission. Submit to Google and Yahoo! instead.
AltaVista .9% Displays results from Yahoo!, where you can sign up for free.Lycos .5% Offers paid inclusion. Displays results from Yahoo!, where you can sign up for free.OTHER SEARCH ENGINESOverture Paid inclusion, up to $199. The #1 PPC provider. Provides PPC results to Yahoo!

E-COMMERCE SEARCH ENGINESThe rankings below come from an April 2004 Hitwise report on SearchEngineWatch. We’ve pulled out general shopping sites only; see the complete report for specialized sites.
Yahoo Shopping 10.3%Includes all Yahoo! Stores. Not technically a shopping search engine (it’s a directory), it was considerable market clout through sheer breadth of offerings. You can upload a product feed to be included in their beta product database.
NexTag 4.4%Price comparisons and reviews. Offers a PPC self-serve program (selling 100 items or fewer) and merchant partner program for those selling more than 100 items.
Froogle 2.6%While not listed in the Hitwise survey, Froogle is Google’s entry into the price comparison market. Listings are free. Your site may already be listed; if not, you can submit a data feed. Epinions/Shopping.com 2.5%Previously known as Dealtime. Now owns Epinions. Largest shopping search engine (as opposed to Yahoo!’s directory). List your products on a PPC basis.
MSN Shopping 2.3%No submission program.PriceGrabber 2.1%“Storefront” program charges commisson of $1 if the purchase price is less than $15 or 7.5% if the purchase price is greater than $15. Merchants with "lots to sell" need to fill out a contact form and talk to a rep.

Submit Your Link to Search Engines.
Use services of Free Search Engine Submiters or better still Manually Submit yourself.
Remember to enter the complete site details or the relevant Keywords. E.g.. If you are trying to submit your Money4Net Link to the search engines you need to enter the following as the Description of the site - "Money 4 Net is the Leading Paid To Promote Internet Marketing Portal On the Net.
We Provide a Platform for Webmasters to Advertise their Products and Services and Help Our Affiliates Earn a Substantial Amount of Money for Promoting M4N & Selling Our eBooks& Ad Space" And the Following as the Keywords for the site - Paid to Promote, Internet Marketing, Affiliates, Money, Commissions, Make Money Online.Nowadays, being on the first page for your most popular keyword phrase is like Getting Your Dreams answered. In Other words get high Ranks on Search Engines is a High Ranking Job.And, that's where the power of advertising is going. It's all about Search and High Ranks.
And Ranking is only going to become more important over the next few years.If you can get on first page, Nothing like it. In order to get those high ranks (which is the goal after all), you have to do a Lot of Things other than just Creating Your Website and Hoping for the Search Engines to come to You. You Need to make them come to you and beg for more and moreSpy On Your Competitors - Who are your competitors? Do you know? If you don't, you may want to go online and do a search for your product or service. Who is on the first two pages? That is your target.
Those are the companies that you want to compete with. Because right now, they are getting your customers. Take a look at their website. Notice the copy. Analyze their business. Are they successful? What are they not doing right? Look for the holes.You're going to meet the needs of their customers (that they are not fulfilling) so they become YOUR customers.
Research your Keyword Phrases - Remember, Keyword Phrase research is critically important. It can also be a little tricky. Do you know what keywords or keyword phrases your customers search for when they look for you? Are you sure? See what your competitors are using. You can do this by right clicking on their home page, selecting "View Source" and then checking their keyword meta tag. Next, go on to Overture.com (Owned by Yahoo), click on "Visit the Advertiser" section, and use their Keyword Selector Tool.Write Good Copy - Now it's time to start writing. Or rewriting. And if you can't write, you can hire a website copywriter to do it for you. The bottom line is to write about benefits, not features. Don't tell them how great your company is. They will discover that for themselves when you overwhelm them with your service and deliver the perfect product that meets their every need. Make the copy to the point and snappy. Make it sure it has impact, and asks the potential customer for their business.Integrate Your Keyword Phrases - After you figure out which keyword phrases you want to use on your site, you need to integrate them into the copy of your site. Think Home Page and Services page as the most important pages to use them on. Essentially, you want to them to make up 5% of the total words on the page. It's not that hard actually. Just don't use them all over the place like some stupid copywriters do - you could get de-listed from the search engines. Definitely use them in your headlines and sub headlines. That will get you extra points, so to speak.

Checklist For Your Blog and Websites.
How can you get more visitors to your website? What can you do to stimulate traffic? Here's a checklist of certain items you need to consider. Many of these you're probably doing already; others you meant to do and forgot about; still others you've never heard of. Of course, a great deal has been written about this.
Write a descriptive title for each page of 5 to 8 words. Remove as many "filler" words from the title, such as "the," "and," etc. This page title will appear hyperlinked on the search engines when your page is found. Entice searchers to click on the title by making it a bit provocative. Place this at the top of the webpage between the
