I'm thinking about starting an e-commerce site and would like to know how you go about getting your Web site listed with a search engine. Getting listed with search engines is like house cleaning. Basically, there are two choices. You can pay someone to do it, or you can do it yourself. If you fork out a little dough, you can have your site registered for you.
Search engines use automated and manual methods to obtain content information about Web sites.
Each search engine has its own system for categorizing its Web sites. Words that are too narrow could result in lost visits. When you register, pull-down menus are provided for you to describe your company. These meta-fields are words embedded into an HTML document, and are not actually displayed visually on the Web page. They act like codes to convey specific information.
