Search Engine.
How important are search
engine for your work at home online business?
VERY Important.
Search engines are the most
important way to get visitors to your web site, because visitors are
actually looking for your web site instead of accidentally
stumbling over it.
75% of all traffic mostly comes from
major search engine. If your
website can not be found in the search engine, you would miss a lot
of traffic and this could lead to the end of your online presence.
If you are not on the top 30 or first 2 page you will not get the
traffic from the search engine. Most people perform an internet
search would not look more than few pages. So getting website on the
first few page on a search engine is a must or you might as
well not be there at all.
There are different kind of search engines.
Search engine.
Directory.
Pay Per Click Search Engine.
Search engine.
A spider or a crawler visited a website read it content and store
them in the search engine database. When a person performs an
internet search the search engine will check its database and will
match and display out what the search engine have in store matching
the most relevant result. Google, Inktomi, AltaVista, AlltheWeb and
the like are all forms of search engines.
Directory.
Directories are categorize
base on human editing. When a website is submitted a human will
review and place the website into a proper category and fixed the
website description. When a internet search is performed the
software will looks into the description and the categories bring
out the most relevant result. Yahoo!, Open Directory Project
(dmoz.org), Gipsy and the like are all forms of Web directories. Due
to the manual process of adding sites to a directory, directories
often have to supplement their search results with a search engine
partner to increase the relevancy of the produced search results.
Also, there is normally a submission fee to be added to a directory.
The submission fee is to cover the costs of having the human editors
review the site. Most directories will only add a new site if it has
unique content that is presented in a professional manner by a
legitimate company.
Pay Per Click.
At these kinds of search engines you will choose your own keywords
with which people will find your site. Your site will not be
spidered by the engine. A pay per click search engine works very much the same way as a
non-pay search engine, such as AltaVista, Google etc., the
difference is they allow you to pay your way to the top of a listing
by bidding on any keyword or keyphrase of your choice.

months!) to get listed.
