Services: Search Engine & Directory Submission

Search Engines don't just find you. Getting listing involves an often lengthy process. We have developed techniques that will get you listed on the major search engines without having to pay pricey submission or Cost-Per-Click (CPC) fees.

Is it worth it to "Submit your Website to 100,000 Search Engines!"?

Beware of false claims and techniques that seem to good to be true. One in particular is of submitting your site to thousands of search engines. If a list of these sites are available, look through and see how many are unoperational. How many of these search engines are in foreign language speaking countries? How many look like they're even used? There are only a handlful of search engines in the world that matter to be listed in and many of those can penalize your site for the automated submission technique these claimants use.

These automated submission programs that "submit your website to 100,000 search engines!" are frowned upon by Google and are in direct violation of Google's Quality Guidelines, which state: "Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our terms of service."

Quality, Related Sites are the Key to Good Ranking Results

Soul Oyster Web Studios has developed an extensive database of Search Engines and industry-specific and general directories and their submission pages. We continuously monitor and revise this database by keeping on top of new and expiring Search Engines and constantly add and research new Directories for a multitude of industries.

If we don't have it, we can find it. Part of our Marketing Maintenance Services include monthly research of Web sites and directories that apply to your industry. We generate monthly reports that tell you exactly where your site has been submitted, update the report each month to show your listing status on each site, and resubmit where necessary.

We can offer cost effective services that target only those Search Engines and Directories that offer free submissions, or offer you recommendations of pertinent pay-for-listing sites along with any charges they require so you can be in charge of your marketing budget.

Reciprocal links and link partnerships are currently an effective way to drive more traffic to your site. These benefits extend to how you rank on Search Engines as well. We conduct extensive research to find the appropriate link partners for your site, while steering clear of Link Farms and FFA sites that can actually damage your ranking.
