As a rule of thumb, 95% of a Web Site's hits will come from the most popular International Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, Lycos, Excite, HotBot, Go etc). With over a million new Web Sites being created every month worldwide, it is vital that you give your site a competitive edge by ensuring that it has a prominent listing with each of these sites.

Much has been written on the subject, however it all boils down to three fundamental principles:

	Ensure the site is 'Search Engine Friendly': The web designer must have a good understanding of how the various Search Engines work in order to properly optimise the site. Just adding a few META-tags is not enough.
	Concentrate on the major International and UK Search Engines: Statistics show that a good 95% of a Web Site's hits come from the top ten International Search Engines. Don't be fooled by services that offer submission to hundreds of Search Engines as this is simply a waste of time.
	Re-submit the site on a regular basis: Once a site has been submitted to the Search Engines its positioning will diminish over a relatively short period of time as new submissions are given priority. Users rarely bother looking much beyond the first couple of pages of search results, so it is vital that the site is re-submitted on a regular basis to achieve top ranking.

The 'Submit' service:

We offer a Search Engine Submission service that automatically submits your Web Site to the top 50+ global and regional Search Engines every two weeks. In addition to the main web address, up to four other pages may also be submitted. This enables you to actively promote certain sections of your site.

The service also provides submission and ranking reports that enable you to track your Web Site's position in the Search Engines under specific keywords.

The cost of the 'Submit' service is £120 per annum (plus VAT). Please contact us for more information.
