I'm afraid that your info is a little flawed Simon.
Keep your title and description short and to the point. For example my
Title is
as follows
Example Description:
<QUOTE>
You may think that having as many words in your keywords list will get
you more visitors. In theory it will yes because your site will be
listed under more keywords in the search engines.
</QUOTE>
In fact all the major SE's (and many of the minor ones) have a limit of
1020 key words (or phrases). The more keywords relative to your site's
theme and content that you have registered, then the more chance you
will have of getting 'hit'.
<QUOTE>
However, if you have too many keywords and/or irrelevant keywords,
search engines will reject your site and it wouldn't be listed so keep
them as few as possible and relevant.
</QUOTE>
Absolutely untrue. There are only two ways to have your site rejected:
1. Spamming keywords
2. Using client-pull redirection (and that only came in about four
months ago).
<QUOTE>
Make sure before you submit your web site that it looks finished and it
looks presentable because when it is visited by the search engine
inspectors the quality of the content and appearance will be taken into
account.
</QUOTE>
With the exception of Yahoo, the above is untrue. The majors (Infoseek,
Hotbot, Altavista, Northern Light for example) use bots - not humans.
The look at words (specifically word-frequency and word-position) not
presentation.
<QUOTE>
Last of all the very best search engine I have ever come across is
http://www.worldsearchcenter.com
This is why:
a) It always lists your site.
b) It lists your site within days of you submitting it.
c) It looks like a tidy web site that is easy to search.
d) It searches for keywords and phrases for you.
e) It lists just about every page on your web site using different
keywords.
</QUOTE>
Unfortunately a misleading recommendation. More than 99% of all searches
are done via the majors (plus Yahoo of course). If people don't use
Worldsearchcenter then it seems to me to be a bit of a waste of time
registering with it.
<QUOTE>
If you update your site you do not need to re-submit, because it's robot
visits your site and updates its index regularly.
</QUOTE>
Not the best advice. Most SE's do revisit, but depending on how many new
pages are being registered, it can sometimes be as long as six months
before a site is re-indexed.
<QUOTE>
Basically it does everything for you, all you have to do is type in your
URL address once only. If you type it in again a few weeks later it will
tell you your site is already listed in its index.
</QUOTE>
This might be true for Worlsearchcenter, but as I've said you must be
one of the very few people who use it for *searching*. Virtually
everyone else on the Web uses one of the majors.
I'd suggest, Simon, that you visit the Search Engines page(s) on my site
at:
<URL: http://www.atomor.demon.co.uk>
You might then revise some of your views.
