<original question> 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? </question>
<Deb's response> Pretty much so. If an SE gleans it's results from Google, optimize sites for Google is what I do -- 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 </deb> <Thought i would add> Altavista has their own spider - I think they call it "scooter". You can submit to AltaVista for free at: http://addurl.altavista.com/addurl/new AllTheWeb also has thier own spider. Their submission page is at: http://www.alltheweb.com/add_url.php?_oldhost=alltheweb.com MSN gets their results from Inktomi. You can submit to MSN at http://submitit.bcentral.com/msnsubmit.htm Getting listed in directories such as DMOZ, JoeAnt, GoGuides is really good too, in that it helps search engines find your site. /Sol ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
