What are Search Engines and Directories? How do they promote my exposure on the Web?
[ Back to Top ] There are millions of Web pages on the Web today. Without knowing your domain name or Internet address, Web users, and your potential customers don’t know how to get to your Web site. Search engines such as Lycos, Yahoo!!, and Webcrawler are ways people find your site on the Web. Here the user enters a “keyword” or “search phrase” of what they are looking for. The search engine or directory provides the user with a list of possible matches. It is important to properly register information with search engines and directories and keep the information up to date. Without registering information, or by registering information improperly, your site will not receive the proper exposure from people using these search engines and directories. See our World-Wide-Web Search Form to learn more about how a search engine works.
