At
GrowUrBiz.com we begin your website’s
online promotional efforts by listing
your site with the most popular Internet
directories. We do this because many search
engines incorporate directories into their
search criteria and results.
Internet directories are
comprised of human-maintained categories
that contain links to sites, accompanied
by short descriptions.
Some of the major directories
we list with are:
Looksmart
Open Directory Project (ODP)
Yahoo
A good listing within
Looksmart, Open Directory Project, Yahoo
or any other directory service we use,
can help increase your rankings within
search engines thus sending more visitors
to your website.

Search Engine Optimization |
Search engine optimization
alters a website in order to improve the
website's ranking among search engines,
especially with crawler-based search engines.
In order to fully understand
search engine optimization it is important
to have an understanding of how search
engines operate.
Most search engines run
automated programs called bots or spiders.
These bots and spiders use a bunch of
factors to search the pages and documents
that make up the World Wide Web.
Once a page has been searched
its contents are then indexed. When a
web user makes a request via a search
engine, the engine retrieves from its
index all documents that match the query.
There are a number of factors
that affect the ranking of your site on
these indexes. When designing or redesigning
your site here are some of the many factors
we take into consideration:
Navigation: Some types of navigation may
prevent search engines from reaching your
website's content. In planning and building
your site we take this fact into consideration.
Optimized HTML code: We
will go through your site and remove characters
from the HTML code that are not needed
for correct display of the document.
Optimized images: We accurately
label all the images we use in developing
your website. Many search engines index
full text. This gives the search engine
a textual representation of your graphics
and the ability to index more content
about your website.
Meta tags: Many search
engines read Meta tags as part of their
indexing formulas. They use these formulas
in ranking a site. We work with you to
create the most effective Meta tags possible
on your site in order to rank well with
the search engines.
Search engine readiness:
In designing websites for our clients
we take into consideration the algorithms
of the most popular search engines. We
design sites that are likely to give you
a higher ranking on the most popular search
engines.
At GrowUrBiz.com we can
work with you to search engine optimize
your site.
Search Engine Submission:
Getting listed with the
top search engines is just the beginning.
Being listed does not guarantee a good
ranking on particular terms. However,
couple with our search optimization efforts
we can work with you to improve your rankings
among the most popular search engines
of the day.
Search engine submission
is the act of submitting your site to
the top 10 search engines we have selected
below.
After buidling your website
and ensuring that it is search engine
optimized we will submit it to as many
search engines as possible. Below is a
