Search Engine Submission

Lets clear this up straight away - submitting your site to thousands of search engines every month does not help anyone, especially not you, and will not increase the chances of getting potential customers to your website.

The service 3 Foot Tall offers is not an automated system that will be ignored by any search engine worth searching with, nor is it a case of a semi-trained monkey sitting at a computer and submitting websites to the search engines.

Finally, we do not condone any services that claim to submit to dozens if not hundreds or thousands of search engines every day/week/month, all this does is creates a headache for the engineers working on the search engines and even the owners of the websites being submitted. Why? Imagine if you were getting thousands of mail items every day, your job is to go through them and filter out a small pile of post that you are going to look at today.

Now you can't possible read every item that you receive everyday, so the first task you do is pick out the items you know you haven't seen before like that bright blue shiny one! Okay, so now we have a very small pile of post that we haven't seen before, and you've read it all. Next, lets go over the ones you didn't pick out, and inspect each one and bin the ones we know we have already seen - that pizza menu from the takeaway just down the road we receive every couple of days is now in the bin with the rest of the junk. What we have left is the stuff that needs checking to see if we have it or if it has changed since we last saw it several months or years ago.

This is pretty much how the submission system on several popular search engines work. They check their database and see if they have the site being submitted, if its new its added to the list for the bots to crawl, if its already in the database but hasn't been crawled for a while, its added for updating. If it was crawled only a few days ago or it this is the four thousandth time its been submitted this month, it's going to get binned straight away - they don't have the time or resources to deal with yet another submission of the same website.

The Service Offered by 3 Foot Tall

The service that is offered by 3 Foot Tall is to make sure that your site is listed in the index of the popular search engines - lets face it, if its a search engine nobody has heard of, what does it matter if its listed or not? Who uses it? A good rule of thumb is, as long as the major search engines and the popular web directories have it listed, the rest of the "unknowns" will catch up soon.

Another phase we take is ensuring that there is a site map of your web site available - this is a simple listing of all the key areas for your website that search engines such as Google will use to make sure it crawls all the pages on you site. If you don't have a site map, then we will create one for you and submit it to the search engines that can use these. If your site is constantly growing or changing, then don't worry because we will keep any maps of you site up to date to reflect the changes of your site.

From time to time, alot of search engines will have an index clean out and delete old entries of webpages that have been there a long time. This helps them to remove webpages that are no longer available or simply aren't maintained any more. We will monitor your sites entry in the indexes of the search engines and directories and if your site is dropped from the index, we will automatically resubmit it.
