What are search engines?
Search engines are what people use to find things on the Internet. You type in what you are looking for and the search engine then lists a number of web sites that it thinks contain what you want. People may come across search engines by going directly to that search engine's web site, pressing the search button on their browser or by using a box on their ISP's site. Although nearly everyone who uses the Internet uses search engines, a lot of people do not realize that they are doing so.

Why do I need to be listed by Search Engines?
A recent study by Forester Research found that search engines remain the leading way users in the United Kingdom find web sites. 81% of users said that search engines helped them find the web sites they use. If your site is not listed by search engines then you are missing out on a huge amount of potential customers. There are probably people using search engines to find your type of product or service and if you are not listed they are going elsewhere.

How many search engines are there?
There are many thousands of search engines ( some of which are specialist Directories) in the world with different degrees of importance. It is obviously pointless being listed on a search engine in India that lists web sites that provide medical equipment (unless you happen to supply medical equipment in India of course!). There are approximately 30 search engines that being listed which would benefit a Spanish Spoken web site. Please visit our list of Search Engines page for more information.

The firm that designed my web site for me said they will submit my site to the search engines?
A lot of web site design firms say they will submit your site to search engines for you but the reality is that whilst they may do this once or twice they will not have the time or inclination to monitor your site's position and re optimize then re-submit every month till they get good positioning as is necessary. Nor will they have the expertise necessary to obtain and maintain a high listing for your web site. If someone does not know what they are doing then your site could even end up being blacklisted forever.

What's this about search engines blacklisting my site?
Ever since the first search engine appeared, people have tried to mislead them by trying to get their sites listed under things that their web site is nothing to do with. Because of this search engines have had to develop software to identify when someone is trying to mislead them. When some search engines suspect that they may be being misled they may blacklist that site forever. Over-submission can also lead to blacklisting.

I've got some software that submits my site to search engines. Why shouldn't I use that?
More and more search engines are refusing to accept automated submissions so you will never get listed by some search engines. In addition, each search engine is different and requires different information. Finally most, if not all, of the automated submission software available is orientated to web sites in the US and only cover one or two Spanish search engines and because of the Search Engines changing their algorithms frequently. Their is no way off the shelf programs can keep up with all the major Search Engines changes.

How do Horizon Marketing SEO Specialists get my site listed by search engines?
Firstly we work hard and our Search Search Engine Consultants are constantly monitoring and resubmitting your site as this is necessary to obtain and maintain a high listing. Secondly we are dedicated to search engine submissions creating many back Links and are able to spend time researching and learning the constantly changing criteria used by search engines to rank sites.

Will I need to change my site to get it listed?
When we initially take on your site we will run tests and assess your site. We may make recommendations, such as the insertion of behind the scenes code, that you could follow to increase your ranking but we understand that it is your site and you probably like it. It is up to you whether you want to make any changes or not. We certainly would not tell you to change the colors of the site or that we do not like your photographs. We are search engine optimization specialists, not web site designers.

I've heard that there are tricks that you can use to get high listings with search engines. Is that true?
If you try to mislead a search engine it will not work. Your site will not get listed and could be blacklisted. Search engines provide a vital service to Internet users but understand that people will only continue to use them as long as their results remain accurate. Attempts to mislead search engines are quickly identified by search engines. The only trick is to follow each search engine's instructions and requirements to the letter.

How long will it take for my site to listed?
Some search engines will list your site within a few weeks of our initial submissions. Most take a few months. Some will not list you until they have been submitted to several times. Some search engines will list you for several months and then stop doing so. Some search engines use each other's data but it can take time to be passed on. This means that each month more and more search engines will be listing your site.
