When you think of submitting your website to Search Engines, you might thing of some of the big names out there like Google. Other well-known Search Engines are AltaVista and AllTheWeb. Search engines crawl and index websites with programs (commonly referred to as spiders, robots, or bots) and organize the websites into databases. Websites crawled by search engine bots are not evaluated and approved or rejected, rather, the full text from a page is added to the database.
Note:
Google is most defiantly one of the major places you want to get your website listed. With
Google, you want to submit to this search engine by hand. Be careful on checking your rankings in
Google though. Automated software that also checks positions and ranks in search engines are
banned by Google.
Google’s TOS:
“No Automated Querying
You may not send automated queries of any sort to Google’s system without express permission in advance from Google. Note that “sending automated queries” includes, among other things:
- using any software which sends queries to Google to determine how a website or webpage “ranks” on Google for various queries;
- “meta-searching” Google; and
- performing “offline” searches on Google.
Please do not write to Google to request permission to “meta-search” Google for a research project, as such requests will not be granted.”
