Three months of FREE professional search engine submissions (every 45 days). We will optimize your front page with meta tags and things the search engines like to see to rank you higher in their search engines.

With millions of documents available on the World Wide Web, it is vital that Web site owners and/or administrators take specific steps to ensure their Web sites are easily accessed by and made available to their target audiences. This is most commonly done by maximizing a Web site's presence on a variety of search engines. A search engine is like an electronic version of a library's card catalog in that it quickly matches search criteria against database entries that contain select key words, titles, subjects or proper names. The goal for a Web site owner is to submit his or her Web site to a variety of popular search engines in such a manner that each search engine gives priority to that Web site when searching the World Wide Web for sites that match specific search criteria. Below is a menu of options that offer a range of services relating to search-engine submissions:

Option 1 - Basic search engine submission: $259 per year (2 months free with membership)
Option 1 includes preparing your Web site for submission, submitting your site to major search engines and monitoring the success rate of select submissions. The first step in search-engine submission is to optimize specific features of your Web site's home page. This includes defining proper meta tags (hidden data that search engines use to define a site) and ensuring that the copy on the site's home page matches popular search criteria. Once this is complete, we will submit your site to each of the major search engines listed below evey 45 days for a year. You will receive a status update showing a list of the search engines to which your site was submitted. The report will show for each search engine the date of the last submission and whether or not the submission was successful.

AllTheWeb, BCentral, DMOZ (open Directory), Google, Yahoo, 2KCity, Aesop, Ah-ha, Allestra, AnySearch, AreaWeb, Auction, AvalonSearch, Beamed, Claymont, CompletePlanet, CozyCabin, ExactSeek, FindInfo, FirstZone, FrequentFinders, Gasta, GoWebSurfer, GoSearch, GoiSearch, Giosi, Goto411, HaSearch, Help-site, HiddenStreet, HotLunch, HotSkunk, Hypermaze, idofind, Idoi, IMMarvel, ImproveMySearch, InfoApex, InfoProbe, IntelSearch, ITVSearch, JaydeOnline, JBlue, MixCat, MySearchEngine, NerdWorld, NetSearch, NewWebStuff, PrimeFind, RagingBannerSearch, RexSearchEngine, Riot, ScrubTheWebSearch, SeachAve, Searchit, ShopReach, Splat, SuperPromo, SurfGopherDirectory, TrueSearch, TryAmerica, TurnPikeEmporium, Voyager, WalHello, WebTrawler, ZenSearch, EntireWeb, Alexa, (list subject to changes in search sites)

Option 2 - Guaranteed listings in 48 hours: $389 per year
Option 2 includes all services offered in Option 1 but your Web site's home page will be listed on MSN, HotBot, LookSmart, and Overture within 48 hours of submission versus 2-4 months. Additionally, your Web site's home page will be re-indexed every 48 hours. This means that if your content is updated, your listing in MSN, HotBot, LookSmart, and Overture will be automatically refreshed.

Option 3 - Additional search engine pages: $489 per year
Option 3 includes all services offered in Option 1 and Option 2, however, rather than simply optimizing your Web site's home page for submission, several additional pages on your site will be enhanced based on keywords specifically defined for search engines. These additional pages will be submitted along with your Web site's home page. This option greatly increases your Web site's exposure to search engines and thus increases exposure to your site's potential visitors.


Option 4-AddWeb Link Trader: $989 yearly
Includes everything in option 1, 2 and 3 above as well as;

1. The search engine submission software we use to submit your pages also has an additional feature to increase you link popularity (important to increase high ranking) called LinkTrader. This feature gives you the ability to be linked to other Addweb software users home page via a link page they place on their site. We will request and secure 10 trades a week from other companies and when they accept the trade we update your link page to include their link on your site. This is done on a weekly basis and we will send you a new linktrader.htm page to be uploaded to your server. In the first year you would have over 500 websites with links to your website. The system has a simple way to check the sites you have trades with and sends a warning to them if your link is not on their link page and visa-versa.

2. The benefits of using the system can be monumental. The system has been online for 4 months. As of this writing, there are roughly 17,000 active trades in the system, and some sites have more than 300 active trades. Here is what you can expect if you had 100 trades:

100 other websites would provide links to your website. If any one of those sites gets spidered by a search engine, your chances of being naturally discovered by the engine are very good. If you get spidered, you will have likely been added by the engine without having submitted your site.

3. For every site you are trading with that is indexed on a specific engine that ranks based on Link Popularity, your own link popularity score will be higher.

4. The pages that link to you are real. They are not dynamic pages that scroll you off like link directories.

5. The pages that link to you are on normal websites that are attracting human traffic that are far more likely to click on your link than they would on a link directory listing.

6. You are in an active role of cross-promotion with another person. The benefits of each trading partner’s own promotion will benefit you indirectly, and vice-versa. Remember, search engines have long said that they want to discover links on pages that are human-maintained and are relevant. This is exactly that. The only difference is that the LinkTrader system operates as a matchmaker, and helps automate some of the tasks.
