What AltaVista Search Engine Likes To See
by: Frank Gorka
What do the search engines look for on your site. Well first of all each search engine has different requirements for you to be indexed into their directory or database.
Each search engine is very unique in their own way and have different rules that you must meet before they list your site.
So with that in mind we are going to look at each search engine and open directory on a individual bases. Lets take Alta Vista first and then we will look at the rest of the search engines.
AltaVista is a crawler base search engine you can hand submit your web page by going to this site
http://addurl.altavista.com/addurl/default it will take 4 to 8 weeks depending on what kind of website you have. You can expect the crawler to revisit your site every 2 to 4 weeks.
Make sure you Use the basic submit option, this will save you alot of money and you will get the same results that the paid inclusion offers. It will ask you to log in to your Yahoo.com account, if you don't have one you can get one for free just sign up and then login.
When you submit your site at Yahoo.com, make sure you submit your main url for indexing, not each individual pages.
Also make sure each page is different in content and they are not the same pages that you are submitting due to you do not want to get your url banned from the crawler indexing of your site.
The search engines do band you from indexing your url due to SPAMMING THEM WITH multiple pages and from using tricks on your pages.
Also make sure each site has a different web address to them this will keep you in good standing with AltaVista or any other search engine you might submit to.
AltaVista will not except pages with tricks on them, let me explain what I mean here.
Such as Invisible text, very small text such as #1 #2 in size, those that use misleading pages such as the content does not match your keywords or your title or description content, also doorway pages that don't look like your url pages or that don't have real solid content. Also these factors will also keep you from being indexed into their database and AltaVista calls this spamming their database. DO NOT USE THESE THINGS ON YOUR PAGE.
1. Using meta refresh coding this refreshes your page every 30 seconds to every 30 days or so, this is only trouble waiting to happen DO NOT DO THIS 2. Keyword repetition of the same keywords or keyword phrases. Like limo, limo, limo, limo, limo do you get what I am saying here do not do this. DO NOT DO THIS
3. Invisible text this is when you use the same color background of your text such as white background and white text. DO NOT DO THIS
4. Page Swapping this is when you submit to AltaVista the right way and then you switch the page with something totally different in content. DO NOT DO THIS
5. Any redirection coding stay away from this or your Url could be considered a Spam site and you will never get it into the index and as a result no one will be able to find you. DO NOT DO THIS
Much Success
