How long will it take until I start seeing results?
It depends on the search engine. Some index your site in few days time while others can take up to 2-3 months.

How long will my company's web site stay at the top of the major search engines?
I will ensure that your company's web site stays at the top of the major search engines for the duration of your contract with us. Because search engine positioning requires continuous effort, we cannot guarantee that you will retain top rankings should you cancel your service with us.

What are the top 10 search engines, and which ones give the best results?
A: Yahoo is the most widely used by people, but it's a directory is not a search engine. On Yahoo you are first shown data from Google that is combined with Yahoo Directory Listings. You can click on the "directory" button at the top of the page if you desire to only view Yahoo Directory Listings. Google data is also used by AOL, Iwon, Netscape, Canada, Yahoo, and many other search engines. Hence, I think Google is the most important followed by MSN.

NOTE: StatMarket reports that 96.71% of the approximately 319 million search engine queries per day come from:

1. Yahoo
2. Google
3. Msn
4. Aol
5. AltaVista
6. Go Network
7. Lycos
8. Excite


How much time does it take to promote a web site?
It can take any amount of time, depending on how many URLs you are submitting - and also the number of search engines involved. The actual submission of a single URL to a single search engine is really insignificant in the big picture. The real time is spent in checking your sites listing on the engines and optimizing your site for better positioning.

Does it matter to the search engines how my site looks and functions?
Yes, actually, it does. The search engines look for certain content in a document you submit. It even looks at your images!

Can I design and build my own site and have you promote it?
Yes, but we may have to modify some parts of your site to ensure its search engine friendly.

What are the cost and terms of your contract?
Programs are designed according to each client's needs. A 6 month commitment is required for best results. Please contact us to learn more.
