Dear Mr. D

I have heard that to make it on the Internet,
a business must have a high ranking on the
search engines. I have submitted my
site to several of the top ones, but I never
get a high ranking. In fact I don't even think
I get ranked at all on most of them.

What can I do'

Signed,

decent ranking with any of the major engines.

You submit your site, then wait weeks for the
search engine "gods" to render their decision.
More likely than not, their decision is to either
not list your site at all or to give it a ranking so
low that a surfer needs deep diving equipment
to find you. It's enough to sent you running for
a giant size bottle of Prozac.

Your first reaction will probably be to throw your
hands up and say the heck with those search
engines, who needs them'

Don't make this mistake. We all need our sites
listed on search engines. More visitors can be

So what can a poor beleaguered Webmaster do'

this point. We follow their advice on how to make
our web sites search engine ready. We insert
META tags into our site code. We struggle to
add just the right description and keywords so
the major engines will find us worthy of a high
listing. When all the i's have been dotted and
all the t's crossed, we submit again and wait.

Five or six weeks later we discover that once
again, the "big boys" have found our site lacking
in some way or another. It's back to the drawing
board. We read somewhere - to get approved
for a decent listing we need to build some
"gateway pages." This only takes a few days to
a few weeks to figure out and accomplish, but then,
at last it's done and we submit once again.

And once again, five or six weeks later, we
find that we still can't be found on any of the

You have three options at that point.

Number one - You can keep on trying. Who knows,
maybe eventually you will get it right. Stranger
things have been known to happen.

Number two - You can hire a search engine
specialist. They do exist and I have heard
that some of them are very, very good. These

I have also heard that their fees are very, very

The frustration of trying to get a decent ranking
on the traditional engines has given rise to a
new breed called the pay-per-click. It only takes
