| How long does it take to see results from search engine optimization? |
|
Search
engine optimization involves a waiting period for results, but proper
search engine optimization can minimize the delay.
If you have an old website and it is already listed in major directories, you
should see your search engine rankings improve within at least 4-6 weeks. If
not, you can reduce this period by performing a
search engine
submission.
A total renovation of your website using advanced search engine optimization
techniques will boost your search engine rankings quickly. Dramatic results
should come within six to nine months. It takes time for major search engines to
crawl through your site and add it to their databases.
Search engine optimization is an exercise in patience. Top ten rankings for
highly competitive words cannot be achieved overnight. Remember that you may
have many competitors who are also performing search engine optimization.

| What are the most popular search engines? |
|
Google is by far the most used search
engine. It provides search results not only on it's home page, but powers other
search engines' results as well. Google claims to have indexed over 3 billion
pages, but in reality, that number is probably too small. More than 300 million
searches a day filter through Google's fingertips.

One of the simplest and easiest search engine optimization tasks is to include a robots.txt file in your website's root directory. Using Notepad, enter the text "User-agent: *" and save this file as robots.txt in your website's root directory. This file will tell search engine spiders to "crawl every page of my website". You can also block folders that you do not want analyzed (client files, old copies of pages, etc.). Simply add "Disallow: /folder_name/" or "Disallow: /filename.html". |
