Internet Search Tool Questionnaire
The information you provide below will be used in our registering your web
site with Internet search tools (search engines, directories, yellow pages,
what's new pages, etc.) or incorporated into your web site design. In order
to best promote your site, we will likely make some changes to the
descriptive information you provide as well as add information.
URL(s) of site or pages to promote:
Normally, the URL of the web site is registered with search tools, e.g.,
http://www.anyname.com. However, we may need to register a specific web
page. If your main page does not contain descriptive information, then we
should also register the page that contains the best content about your
site, e.g., http://www.anyname.com/aboutus.html). We might even want to
register 2 or 3 pages of the site.
These are terms and phrases under which your site will be cataloged. They
are incorporated into the HTML code of your site and are read only by the
search tools, not visitors. Some search tools give these words more
importance than words in the web page's body.
The title is incorporated into the site's HTML code and not into its visible
design. (A browser will display this title in its title bar, however.) The
title is the primary source of information about your site. Search tools
will derive search terms from words in the title; many use the title as the
site description. A descriptive title is especially important if your main
page does not contain indepth information on the site.
This description is incorporated into the site's HTML code. However, unlike
the keyword list above, it may be visible since many search tools will
display it with their search results.
Knowing your competitors' rankings and the descriptive information they
employ will help us promote your site, especially vis-à-vis their sites.
Some search tools will list in their search results the first few lines or
dozen words of text on your site's main page or give precedence to text at
the top of the page when indexing its contents. Not all search tools will
use the keywords and description incorporated into the site's code.
Therefore, the body of the main page is another important source of
information for searches and for summing up your web site. (We might need to
move content up on the page or register more than one page of the site.)
