Quick Tips #31
Reasons that may delay
or prevent you from being indexed by a search engine.
2. ALREADY INDEXED: Be
sure you're not already indexed but just don't know it.
Unfortunately, none of the major engines are kind enough to e-mail
or notify you as to if and when you've been indexed. In addition,
you cannot simply do a search on a keyword that applies to your Web
site and expect it to pop up at the top. In fact, you must take
pro-active steps to optimize your pages for each search engine. If
you don't, it's very unlikely you'll find your Web site except on
the most specific of searches.
The method to determine if a page or domain has been indexed varies
from one engine to another, and in many cases, it's difficult to
tell for sure whether your pages are in fact in there. Never assume
that you're not indexed just because you searched for a bunch of
keywords and you never came up in the first few pages of results.
You could be there (i.e., indexed) but be buried near the bottom. In
addition, it's not very practical to check the status of a number of
pages on each major engine each week.
3. MISSING PAGE: Make sure you have uploaded the pages to your site
before submitting them. This one will seem obvious to many people,
but submitting a page that does not exist or submitting with a
subtle typo in the URL is a goof we might all make at one time or
another. This is important since not all search engines will notify
you if the URL does not exist when you submit.
4. ROADMAP FROM HOME
PAGE: Some engines have been known to drop pages that cannot be
traveled to from the home page. HotBot has been rumored to do this.
Think of your Web site as a series of roads (i.e., links) from one
page to another. If there's no road from your home page to the page
you want indexed, a search engine may decide the page is unimportant
or of low-quality. You could submit the page directly, but the
engine may reject it or may drop it at a later date when it finds no
"road."
5. EXTERNAL LINKS: Some search engines such as Google and HotBot
have been known to refuse to index Web sites that do not have any
other Web sites linking to them. Or, they may index your home page
but refuse to index any other pages until you achieve at least one
or more links from another domain. Or, they may index you for awhile
but then "prune" their database later of all Web sites that did not
achieve any external links within a certain period of time. However,
do not worry! You simply need to establish some links and when
that's done, resubmit both your pages and the pages that link to
you. Once you have links to your Web site, it becomes much easier to
get indexed, stay indexed, and to achieve top rankings.
6. FRAMES: If you have
content inside HTML frames, this can cause problems with
submissions. For example, the search engine may index the main
content of the page, but not the surrounding menu frame. Visitors to
your site will then find some information but may not see the
associated menu! It's generally best if you can create non-framed
versions of your pages. You should then submit the non-frames
versions of your pages, which can of course link to your framed Web
site. Alternatively, you can enter your relevant text within the
NOFRAMES area of a framed page that most search engine spiders will
read. However, don't expect to achieve high rankings while
optimizing the NOFRAMES area. Optimizing a NON-framed
page will often achieve better results.
