Knowing what the Search Engines DO NOT want is equally important as knowing what they DO want! Here are some tips on what NOT to do when submitting your site to the search engines.

What the Search Engines love to hate!

SPAM! Repeated submissions of your site to a Search Engine, submitting pages that have irrelevant content, and excessive, repetitive use of keywords are all considered Search Engine spamming. And spamming is one of the most effective ways to make sure your site never gets listed.
Hidden Text. Hiding text, such as putting white text on a white background, will guarantee that your site is dropped or banned from Search Engines.
Inappropriate use of Redirect or Refresh Pages – particularly for the Home Page. A redirect page is a coded page, which automatically sends the viewer to another page. If a spider gets to a refresh code, it will often turn away.
Mass or auto-submitting your website to Search Engines. Some sites now require reading a randomized code to prevent auto-submitters, while other sites consider it spam. Manual submission may take a little extra time, but it’s well worth it!
Duplicating a submission or over-submitting. Verify that I position the pages are NOT entered prior to submitting. Some Search Engines will remove your page if it’s already in their database, so keep a checklist. Once you’ve made submissions, give it at least 4 to 6 weeks before resubmitting or the Search Engine may think you are spamming.

Check out each Search Engine’s FAQs and help pages for up-to-date, detailed information on what they will and won’t accept.
Well thought out design is likely to improve both your viewers’ experience and your Search Engine positioning. A good balance of text and graphics will help you to achieve your goals.
Using deceptive practices, as attractive as they may be, will damage your positioning in the long run. Be kind to the Search Engines and they’ll be kind to you!
