How do you get your website to

brainsmile · 11-30-2006, 01:15 AM

come up easier on search engines? I'm trying to make it easier for parents to find a school when they google it.

Jeffbx · 11-30-2006, 05:38 AM

Are you talking about if you own the site, or if you're just searching for it?

BigJon · 11-30-2006, 09:10 AM

Meta tags help. Also...how old the page is helps too. If it's a newer page...it may take awhile before the search engines spiders find it. Also, link out to relevant pages and try to get other pages to link to you (by emailing the webmasters and asking them to add your site to their "links" list). The more "exposure" your site has, the more likely it appears higher up on the list.

Or...just give the parents the direct link to the page?

It's a new web page for a school

It's not a "magic solution" according to the above page..but it'll at least help. I haven't yet put any on my page....

...maybe I should.

Personally, I've found that if you direct submit your website to Google, Yahoo, and a few other of the top search engines, eventually their spiders will do the rest.

Pretty much the big thing is how UNIQUE your school name/info is to other similarly named pages. The more unique it is, the more likely you'll get a higher ranking up the search list.

Not too much anymore - they base a lot of it on the amount of traffic your site generates, and how many other sites have a link to your site. Link it up!

Actually, that might get you lower rated on Google.

They don't play that... (at least back in the day they didn't..)
