Guarantee
If you manually submit your website to the search engines and directories,
you will not be guaranteed a listing. TrafficMagnet cannot guarantee
a listing either. This is primarily due to the distinctive listing
policies individual search engines and directories have. Some directories
and search engines are more "permanent". Others are less
permanent because they feature your website for one day on their
home page and then provide an ongoing link from their permanent
list, or because they only feature each website for a short period
of time. Even if your website is listed or gets listed, there is
no set time limit for how long time it will stay listed.
The number one way of staying listed is to resubmit your website
to the search engines and directories. That is the best guarantee
for a listing. This is where TrafficMagnet makes a difference. If
you sign up for our Monthly service, your website will be continuously
submitted to 300,000+ search engines and directories every month.
Because the Monthly service is a subscription, you can continuously
work with optimizing your website for search engine acceptance.
Updating your website description and keywords through My TrafficMagnet
will be included in the next monthly submission.

Which search engines and directories will my website be submitted
to?
Your website is submitted to more than 300,000 search engines and
directories. You can click
here to display a sample list of some of the search engines
and directories that your website will be submitted to. You can
expect that some search engines independently will notify you when
your URL has been indexed on their website. However, the majority
of the search engines and directories will not notify you when your
website has been listed.

How long does it take before my web site is indexed on the search
engines and directories?
TrafficMagnet instantly submits your site to more than 300,000 search
engines and directories. Please note, however, that it takes up to
4-6 weeks for URLs to appear in some search engines and directories,
while in others, new submissions are added in shorter time. One reason
for the occurring delay is due to the fact that some search engines
are currently overloaded with new registrations, which take time to
process. |
| |
| |
How do I know I have been registered and that my site has been listed?
You will receive an email from TrafficMagnet confirming that your
order has been processed. Please do remember: It often takes quite
some time for a listing to make it into a search engine. |
| |
| |
What is the difference between automatic registrations and manual
registrations?
There is no difference from a search engine's or directory's point
of view. The main difference to you, however, is the time you save
researching and registering with each individual search engine. The
result of an automatic registration is exactly the same as if you
had done the registration manually, only with a lot less headache
for you. |
| |
| |
Does TrafficMagnet update it's list of search engines and directories?
As new search engines and directories come up and existing ones
change, we are constantly updating our database. For example, many
search engines and directories now have regional versions, and new
ones are coming up all the time.

How do I improve my ranking?
Improving your ranking depends on several factors, some of which you
can impact more than others. You can not shorten the listing process
of your website to the search engines and directories; however, you
can improve your chances of a better listing by taking a close look
at your website, keywords, site description and website title. Have
in mind that the number one way to stay listed on search engines and
directories is to resubmit your site on a monthly basis through TrafficMagnet
Monthly. If you foresee that your site will undergo regular major
updates, it is highly recommendable that you sign up for TrafficMagnet
Monthly, submitting your site to search engines and directories every
month. |
