Q:My
Project Coordinator says that my web site has been submitted
to search engines, but what if I can't find it in any
search engine?
There are two possible answers:
A #1: If your web site has been live for less than 20
days you will not see your site on any search engines
for around15-25 days. This is how long it takes a search
engine to index a web site after submission.
A #2: Your web site is live but you have not cleared
your final payment.

Q:
My web site has been submitted to search engines, but
I heard that a web site should be submitted
after every 15 days. Does submitting a web site to a
search engine more frequently help?
A: No, it does not help. Medialinkers Web Design service
has a special program to submit your web site during
an appropriate time-frame. You don't need to do anything.
Q:Considering that
Medialinkers has done all the work on their end, is
there something I need to do?
A: In the process of getting a good ranking, Medialinkers
web design service is able to help you only to the
extent
of Web Design and development. Example: If your keyword
is "Export Management Company" You may need
to write the content of your web site that includes
this key term for at least 18 times on that
page.
Once the content has been written, Medialinkers will
add that content to the page you request. The designers
and coordinators are not allowed to add any text or
keywords to your web site on their own.
Q:I
have followed all the instructions but only see my web
site when I directly type in my domain
name. What could be the problem?
A: The keywords you are using are not available on any
of your web site pages.
B: The keywords you are using are on your web site but
in Flash format.
C: It has been less than 20 days since your web site
went live.
Q:What are Backdoor
Web sites and pages?
A: Backdoor Pages: If your keyword is "Export Management
Company" You may need to have this keyword at
least
18 times on one of your pages and you are unable to
achieve this due to perhaps your web site is in Flash
or you don't want lengthy pages. In such cases, you
can use backdoor pages. Backdoor pages are basically
attaching a few pages to your web site and repeating
your favorite keywords. After around 3-4
months,
this page will have a much better chance of attaining
a good ranking in the search engine.
Once
you feel that your backdoor pages have achieved a good
ranking, Medialinkers will redirect traffic from your
hidden pages to your actual front end pages. This technique
has successfully worked with many of
Medialinkers
Web Design clients; however we are unable to disclose
the Web sites due to terms and
conditions.
Medialinkers offers Backdoor pages service for only
$120. For ordering backdoor pages, please write directly
to:
Backdoor/Mirror
Web sites: Backdoor/mirror web site are based on same
logic as backdoor pages, the only difference is that
you book a separate domain and add all your favorite
keywords in bulk. Example: Your
web
site is www.spartimex.com and your target keyword is
"Export Management Company". You book a
domain
www.export-management-company.com and put all your keywords
on it. After 3-4 months, it starts getting top rank
in search engines. When this happens, we will redirect
this mirrored web site to your actual domain
i.e. www.spartimex.com Medialinkers Web Design service
offers design of backdoor Web sites package for $580.
For ordering backdoor web site, please write directly

Q:I am very serious
to see my web site on top, but I don't have time to
study and work on Search
Engine Optimization. I am willing to pay for it, but
not sure which company should I trust?
A: All search engines offer sponsored linking through
Pay-Per-Click (PPC). A pay per click is a method of
putting
your
web site on the first page of a search engine on the
condition that you pay for each hit you get from
that
search engine. So for example you would pay 30 cents
per click on your advertisement, if 30 cents was your
bid price.
For
Google PPC: www.google.com/ads
For
Yahoo, MSN, Netscape, Alta Vista: www.overture.com
Q:What
criteria does Google use to rank my web site?
A: Google ranks web pages in part by using their formula
called Page Rank, which is based on the number and
quality of incoming links pointing to a page. This principle
of rating Web sites by the number of other sites
that link to it is often called Link Popularity, and
all of the major search engines rely on this measure
when they rank Web sites in search results. If you have
no links from other Web sites pointing to pages on your
web site, you will never achieve high rankings in Google
and some other search engines as well.
The most common way of obtaining links is by inviting
other Web sites to exchange links. Google also seriously
notices the keywords and category of web site from which
you are getting a link. This means a pet grooming web
site giving link to pet grooming products web site can
help in increasing page ranking, but a web site related
to computer export will not directly benefit Pet grooming
web site. Medialinkers Web Design service provides you
the first link by putting your web site on portfolio
page. The second link is provided from our highly ranked
page at: MediaLinkers clients
Testimonials to only clients who fill out
our feedback form. If you would like to add your page,
please send us your testimonials so we can place it
on this page.
You can check the ranking of your web site on this page:

We strongly recomend you to read more on Google web
site: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35291
In order to check how many links are coming from other
Web sites to your web site, you may go to Google.com
and type: link:www.yourdomain.com and click on search.
Q:What criteria does
Yahoo use to rank my web site?
A: Unlike Google, robots of Yahoo look for "On
Page" factors. i.e. once your web site has been
indexed, yahoo there are a few factors which affect
how Yahoo returns results: Title, Domain Name, and presence
of your keywords in your web site content. Remember
that keywords within your domain name will be ranked
higher. Getting listed in Yahoo! can take anywhere between
4-8 weeks.
Q:What are other
useful tools I should know?
A: The most important tool
you should have to check your web site traffic: Click
here
Here are some fact you should know:
a) Search engines are programmed robots. Also known
as web crawlers. These robots are programmed by
people, but are not manipulated by people.
b) Search engines can't read Flash. A search engine
never knows what message you are trying to convey in
Flash.
c) Search Engines can't guess what is in the image.
It just knows the height x width and size of that image.
If
the image is linking to a page or web site, search engines
can read it.
d) 80% of the business searches are made through Google
+ Yahoo. Out of rest of the 20% - 15% of the
traffic comes from: MSN, Alta Vista, Askjeeves, Findit
and Netscape and 5% from all the rest.
e) There is almost nothing a competitor can do to harm
your ranking or have your site removed from Search
Engine listings. Your rank and your inclusion are dependent
on factors under your control as a webmaster,
including content choices and site design.
f) Putting same color text on same colored background
doesn't’t help. Search Engines accurately know
the
color
of background and colors as well as size of fonts, so
putting a text in unreadable or very small font
doesn't’t
help.
g) No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on any search engine.
h) A research done by Entire web 31% of people enter
2 word phrases into search engines, 25% of all users
look for 3 word combinations and only about 19% of them
try their luck with only a single word.
i ) According to our research, 72% of web research is
limited to first page of a search engine. 18% go till
2nd
page
and rest of 10% go beyond that.
Want to know more about it?
Recently there has been a spate of well publicized court
cases against SEO companies who have been involved in
dubious practices such as making false claims or false
guarantees. Please don't pay any one who guarantees
to rank your web site on top within 10-15 days. In terms
of search engine rankings it is impossible for an organic
SEO company to guarantee specific placement. This is
because organic SEOs do not control the search engine
rankings. The rankings are controlled only by the individual
search engines. Therefore SEO companies must set realistic
claims in their communications with clients. SEO (Search
Engine Optimization) is entirely different from online
marketing. Online marketing is based on paying people
to click on your banners, links etc. while Search Engine
Optimization means ranking your web site on first few
pages of famous search engines like Yahoo and Google
without paying anything. We are talking about the later
one here. A fair search engine optimization company
will ask for around 5-7 months before you see results.
Their work process will include, submitting your website
to directory, changing content of your website, giving
you incoming links, requesting to buy more domains etc.
They will mostly not guarantee you an increase in sales.
A dubious SEO company will claim "We have some
secret tool" "Search engines have a weakness
that is known to them" "They can increase
your sales by 50%" etc.
