Search Engines


Search engines do not look at every website around the world the moment you submit a web search. These search engines have built an index of site information and it is in this index that the engine searches. They have what is known as a spider or crawler that is continually looking for new web sites. When a new site is found, it is analyzed and information added to the index. It may take months from the time you post a site until it appears on a search engine. There are companies that specialize in posting your information with search engines for a fee. You can actually do the same thing yourself and on some for free. Most search engine sites have a link which allows you to give your site information directly to them to analyze. Many of the search engines are called mega search engines. They not only search their own index, but also the indexes of many other search engines.
