When you launch your website, you want the search engines to know about it straight away, so you can begin attracting the targeted visitors that are actively looking for your services.
Sadly launching a website does not mean you are automatically found on the search engines.
Each Monday, you will be emailed a report detailing the status of your website submission process on Google & Yahoo. Your GoLive service will remain active until your website is listed on BOTH search engines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Search Engine Submission?
"Search engine submission" refers to the act of getting your web site listed (otherwise called 'indexed') with the search engines.
Won't my website get listed anyway?
Simply publishing a website is no guarantee that it will ever be listed by the search engines. Over time, most websites will be found by the search engines as they crawl the internet, but this can take between several weeks and several months. GoLive aims to substantially reduce the amount of time it takes to get listed, getting your website in front of people much faster.
Reasons a new website can miss out on a search engine position:-
- The site isn't well connected through multiple links to other sites on the web.
- The site launched after the search engines most recent crawl was completed.
- The site was temporarily unavailable when the search engine tried to crawl it.
Will you submit my site to '10,000 search engines' like other services I have seen?
No. While there are many search engines on the internet, over 90% of all searches come from Google or Yahoo. Many other minor search engines use these 'big two' for their own results. Services that 'auto-submit' to 'thousands of search engines' are likely to be submitting your site to directories that have no real value and can in fact be detrimental to your long term search engine position.
How quickly will my listing appear ?
Generally, most websites will show up within a week of having the GoLive service activated, but that time is variable and is dependent on the search engines.
How will I know when GoLive has worked ?
Each Monday, you will be emailed a report showing the status of your website on the two major search engines. At any time, you will also be able to log into The Console, Netregistry's online control panel, that will allow you to see the status and review the GoLive emails.
When your website has been listed by Google & Yahoo, you will be informed and the GoLive service will have completed.
Will GoLive get my website to the top of the search results on Google & Yahoo?
Getting listed does not mean that you will necessarily rank well for particular terms. It simply means that the search engine knows your pages exist. To achieve a leading position on the search engines after submission, you should follow up GoLive with a Search Engine Optimisation service such as The Traffic Accelerator.
Why are you not submitting to MSN?
Microsoft's search engine is very slow to index and in half of cases won't index websites that we submit at all. Until the service improves or Microsoft respond to our requests for assistance, we are unable to guarantee a listing on Live Search (NineMSN).
