Do you have web site and just need some extra services here are some options:

Search Engine Submissions
Price: Varies on amount of engines
Up to 10: $50.00
Repeat after 6 months: $19.95 additional

Your pretty web site is nothing if no one can find you. Search engine registration AND placement is crucial for you to be found on the Internet! It's not good enough just to simply add your URL to a search engine and then forget about it. If your site isn't listed on at least the first three pages, you can forget about being found.

In order to get listed and have a high placement, you must have properly placed Meta Tags in your web site.

The ways I submit sites are as follows: I submit to the top 10 sites by hand. I don't use any outside service or generic submission forms for these all important search engines. 90% of all other search engine submission services do, and you end up with less than adequate results. Examples of these important search engines include Yahoo!, Google, Lycos, AOL Search, MSN Search and several others.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT YAHOO!
If you are a business, Yahoo! now requires you to pay a reoccurring $299.00 fee to be listed in their directory. This fee goes directly to them and has nothing to do with my services. I can submit your site to them, but a valid credit card will be required to do so.

If you want to go the extra mile or two after the all important top 10, I will submit your site using a generic form method to the other search engines. There are literally hundreds of them out there and doing it by hand would take me months and months. The benefit to adding your site to these search engines is, the more times your site is listed or linked somewhere, the more popular your site becomes. The more popular your site becomes, the higher up on every search engines' list you become. Popularity can be just as important for your site placement as Meta Tags are.

FINAL NOTE: I cannot absolutely guarantee that you will be added by every search engine. Each engine is different and they all have their different criteria and agendas that are often beyond anyone's control. It often takes several weeks for them to get around to adding your URL as it is.

The submission process is very fast, but keep a few things in mind:

·         Many search engine sites have a backlog of URL submissions that they are working through.

·         How long does it take to get listed? These times vary by search engine. The search engines will optimistically report a short time, but most sites get listed the following average times:

• Don't be surprised if you experience listing times that are much longer than these. The reality is that most search engines are severely backlogged and slow to list new submissions. If your site isn't listed within the time periods shown above, I recommend that you have me resubmit your site to those search engines where you have not yet been listed.

·         Some search engines will send you e-mail information as a part of the submission process. I have no control over this practice. Beyond this submission process, I will not sell, trade, or otherwise distribute your e-mail address.

Periodically, some search engines will purge outdated URL information, and occasionally an active site will inadvertently be removed. To insure that your site stays current in the search engines, I recommend that you resubmit your site every one to two months.

Site Maintenance
Price: $50.00 per hour.

Need some extra graphics made? Want an additional form or need one changed? Keeping your site updated frequently is a great way to keep visitors coming back for more. It's also important to keep up with the fast pace of the Internet and to keep your site looking fresh and cutting edge. Your most loyal customers are your repeat customers. Don't lose them by seeming like you ignore your own site!

Other services which incur an hourly fee are additional face to face meetings and any web design advice after initial package services.
