What is the difference between paid inclusion in the search engines and submissions?
Paid Inclusion is a program that allows you to pay a click fee to guarantee a website's
inclusion in search results. Because of the large number of websites and web pages
that have been indexed in search engines, the Paid Inclusion program helps your
website get included in search results based on keywords related to your business.
Search engine submissions is a continuous process of submitting your website address
to the different search engines so that they can index your pages and present your
website information in search results. There is no guarantee of ranking with either
Submissions or with the Paid Inclusion program.
How long will it take to get my site listed in the search engines?
Search Engine results vary from engine to engine due to the different types of technology
each engine uses to index web pages.
How many banner impressions do I get with my service, can I buy more?
Your account is provisioned with 1,000 free banner impressions per month and we
do offer blocks of additional banners that can be purchased through your Internet
ScoreCard at any time. The Internet Scorecard features an easy-to-use Banner Ad
creator that makes creating eye-catching ads easy. The Creator tool features existing
templates and the ability to upload your own images.
Why is Search Submit Express only for 90 days - what happens to my site after
that?
Search Submit Express is a Paid Inclusion program. Yahoo!® allows
new websites to pay a fee to be included in search engine results. This is an important
step in getting your website indexed in search engine results related to your business.
Typically, search engines can take up to 90 days to index a website in search results
and inclusion is not guaranteed. The Search Submit Express program guarantees inclusion
in Yahoo!® for up to 90 days while your website gets indexed in the
search results naturally.
