If You Have A New Website Or Blog, Do You Pay The Search Engines To Include Your Website Or Blog?

Part 1

Do you have a new blog or website. There are many ways to promote your website or blog and one of the most efficient ways is to use search engines. Search engines are the first stop for most people trying to find information, services, and products online. Because of this, it is essential that your website or blog appears quickly in search results.

The Internet contains numerous search engines, some of which offer what is known as "paid inclusion." This means that you pay the specific engine an annual fee for your web page or blog to be included in their index.

Of course, every search engine already has an automated program commonly called a "spider" that indexes all the web pages or blogs it locates online, and it does this for free. So whether you pay or not, your web page will eventually be indexed by all Internet search engines, as long as the spider can follow a link to your website or blog. The major issue is, then, how quickly your website or blog is indexed.

A search engine that offers a paid URL inclusion uses an extra spider that is programmed to index the particular websites or blogs that have been paid for. The difference between the spider that indexes websites or blogs for free and the spider that indexes only pages for a fee is speed. If you have paid for inclusion, the additional search engine spider will index your website or blog immediately.

Hi Dan & Deanna,

Do you recommend the paid service of the search engines? In addition, spiders do a number of other functions.

Google has spiders that look for spammers and will block the site!

Thanks for your post!

Hello Giovanna,

Keep doing what you are doing with the SEO on the sites that you have already. This is would be a way to get a new website or blog up faster on the search engines. Thank you for visiting.

Hi Dan and Deanna .. thanks for the information - it's helpful ..

I think Gio's comment ..that she makes sure her site is correctly set up (so she doesn't pay); that came out in May at our conference in San Diego ..
