Search Engine Optimization:
Step Three: Surf22 Internet Marketing Program

Let the truth be known here, there is no magic formula to rank in the top ten of EVERY search engine. Also submitting to 400 (or 1500) search engines is usually a waste of money considering no-one uses all these search engines. There are however ways you can score higher on the search engines, it just takes work. Follow these steps and save your money for now.

Is it worth it? 85% of traffic is said to come from the top search engines. Only problem is there are already millions of pages already indexed. As an example Google claims to have over 4,000,000,000 web pages indexed (and counting). Where will yours fall? Don't despair, everything you need to know is listed below. Just be patient, the search engines are slow and it takes time. The huge amount of traffic you will generate from a top 30 position is definitely worth it.

Don't even bother with this first step until you have gotten your site intact. In case you missed it go back and read about Meta Tags here.

Final Checklist before Submitting:

Does every page have a descriptive, keyword based (yet comprehensible) title?
Does each page have keywords added?
Does each page have a well written description that is filled with keywords yet will entice readers to visit your site over the competition?
Are the meta tags the first thing in your HTML code after the <head> tag
Are their any broken links anywhere? Fix Them!

Everything checks? Before we start submitting understand to maximize your success this needs to be done manually. Later on you can use automated software but this is too important to take a chance on. Don't waste more time than you have to. Submit to 500 (or 4000) search engines for $99? Remember you are giving your money away. No-one uses that many different search engines.
