Jr. If you read many of the articles about web site promotion, you will most definitely come away with the understanding that search engines are the hot ticket. In fact, there are quite a few authors who claim they are virtually the only viable advertising method available. Search engines are merely the first method you should use when you are promoting your site. However, there are some issues with the use of search engines as a promotional tool.
Search engines survive off of advertisements.
The advertisers who purchase ads are the customers, and the visitors to the search engine web pages are the commodity that the search engines are selling. Try sending a message to one of the big search engines complaining that your web site is not being indexed properly. See if you get a response at all. Now send a message to their sales department. Note that you get an almost immediate response.
