Hi Deb,
Thanks for this knowledge. I had a look at the dance, and the site is not listed anywhere there. I will wait and see, as you suggest.
My own sites are jumping around and I'm getting nervous myself. When I got up tonight I checked my business site, it now had a PR of 4/10 which was down from 5/10 :( but like an hour later I was working on it and I happened to glance at the toolbar and found it was back at 5/10. It's a crazy time on Google.
Apart from Google, what are the other main search engines to worry about ranking on? I am assuming that if they are powered by Google then you just have to sort out Google and you will rank in these others too is this correct?
Pretty much so. If an SE gleans it's results from Google, optimize sites for Google is what I do. But it doesn't hurt to poke around specific SE's to see if they have special requirements for submission either. Actually, you don't even have to submit a site to Google, their spiderbots will find sites w/o actually submitting them. Sorry, not up on the list of who's high up on the SE list, but a couple that come to mind would be AltaVista and Yahoo, but I know for sure Yahoo gets their stuff from Google, don't remember about AV ... however, do submit to Yahoo's directory is my suggestion. Same with AV if they have one. Haven't been over there lately and don't remember.
Sorry if these are really basic questions. I seem to be reading up loads on search engines and not really finding answers - its very frustrating.
Here's a suggestion for finding some good SE info. Go to another site of mine (this is easier than me listing them all for you) http://pixelresources.net (it's new so don't be alarmed there's not much there yet ...) and check out the WEB DEVELOPERS LINKS. There is already a nice little collection of great SE links to follow. You're of course, invited to add your own business if you like, join in the forums and anything else on the site. It's open to all on this list and your friends in the business as well. The more the merrier, ya know?
