Any one could have his website registered in the search engine, but few people know whether this is really effective. Even if you register your website with the search engine, your site traffic may not be increased. The possible chance is that when there are a million times search, your website may be appeared only once, more likely not a chance at all. I do not exaggerate. We need to know some registration and traffic improving skills, rather than simply tell the search engine I am there.
There are two types of search engines. One requires manual registration, such as yahoo; the other, which is most widely used, supports automatic registration. Manual registration means that your website's data should be input into the database of the search engine by human, and the advantage is that the directory is clear, the content is relatively small, but the chance of being searched out is improved. The automatic registration type search engine has very rich content, but in that case, many unrelated sites will also be searched out at the same time. Both of the two types of search engines can be beneficial to us. Here I would like to make a little suggestion.
If your website is in Chinese language, it is best to be registered in a Chinese search engine that will help a lot to get your site found. Yahoo's Chinese search engine may be not so strong, but its brand is popular with people, so it has many visitors. Just because it has not too much content currently, your site enjoys better opportunity of being found in yahoo than in other search engines. One more thing, when you doing registration, don not classify your site into your own project but into the professional category, such as news or music, for your site may contain too much content, but a professional category has much less.
Most big search engines contain a lot of content, so when people search for a keyword, there will be thousands of results and more are buried behind. Even if your site has been registered to a search engine successfully, but with a very low rank, it is of no use.
The META tag may be of help. It is used to provide HTML information, but its content does not appear on the page. Many web producers paid little attention to this kind of tags, because the appearance of web pages does not be affected even with those tags deleted. The main role of META is to provide descriptive keywords for your site for the search engine. In a word, when the robot finds your site, it will first check the keywords described by META and then add the keywords into its database. So making good use of META tags can improve the opportunity of being found by the search engine.
However, I have to remind you that some new-type search engines are not concerned about META tags any more. The META tags can be cheating sometimes so maybe the robot is set to avoid this. The robot just comes to scan your web pages, and takes the words that are most frequently repeated or the words appear at the top part of the web pages as the keywords. So if you want to be found more times by the robot, you may put more hot keywords on your web pages. I know someone even uses unrelated hot words and set them the same color as the background so as to hide those words but still keep them available for the robot. Well, I'm not in favor of it. I just want usefulness guaranteed traffic.
