Our specialty is coding your site to be found by search engines and bringing you traffic though the directory pages we have created. There are 1550 search engines. We have tried it and found it marginally useful. Alta Vista often takes less than 48 hours to get into. Yahoo commonly takes 7 weeks or longer.
Many sites take longer than two months to gain entry.
The search engine rating game is subtle and complicated. Each search engines has different rating criteria, criteria that they change over time. We are good. In a one word search we often attain a number 1 through 5 slot in five out of ten search engines we applied to. Search engines check six criteria when deciding how high to rate a site.
