Yep, search engine positioning is REALLY hard to do well. The SG Guides have been up for three years and it’s only not that I’m able to start getting better positioning with some of the search engines. So, for those of you with websites that want to get higher, try the following:

Cat: Yahoo are snowed under with stuff and their people (the good ones) are too busy nowadays with paid submissions to care. This really annoyed me – I wasn’t in ANY of the pages after re-submitting every three months for years. In the end I sent an email message to their technical support explaining that my site was a large non-commercial resource used by many people and I had tried everything and wasn’t getting anywhere blah, blah, blah. The seemed to take notice and within two weeks I had achieved lots of high positions for each of the guides. Try submitting on a regular basis for a few months an dif that doesn’t work, try emailing tech support and ask them for advice.

AOL, MSN, Hotbot – all these use the Inktome search engine. DO NOT SUBMIT TO THESE SEARCH ENGINES. They are swamped by pornographers and will actually mark you DOWN the ranks if you submit. Go to [url=http://www.positiontech.com/inktomi/]http://www.positiontech.com/inktomi/[/url] and pay the 20 dollars, you will be included in all the main inktome engiones and your site will be re-spidered every two days for when you make changes. I did this with the andromeda page and got wonderful results. EG. Just type ‘andromeda tv’ in the address window of your browser now (no www or http etc.) You’ll see that the page ranks 5th (MSN is an Inktome search engine).

Alta Vista are having massive prtoblems with their new ranking system. I have HUGE difficulty regiustering anywhere because the SG Guide pages have the same navigation on nearly all the pages. AltaVista therefore think that I’m spamdexing 🙁

Google – By far the most important search engine after Yahoo. They are used to rank pages in other searche engines too. Google is the most intelligent of the search engines and provided you have a lot of unique content on your page and don’t overuse keywords in your metatags, you should rank pretty highly with them.

Excite and Webcrawler – take months to register. I gave up two years ago. Excite use the tag as the most important grading for the ranking of your webpage so make sure that your web page has a clear and relevant title tag.</p> <p>Lycos and the others I don’t rate much.</p> <p>Hope that helps those of you that are having problems. One of the more useful directories (Open Directory) is moderated by a well respected LEXXian who regularly visits this forum. He could advise much better than me, the relevancy of submissions.</p> <p>——————<br /> [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/sad-images/sad-sig.gif[/img]
