Other web directories such as Yahoo do not employ roaming agents and as a result will not list your webpages unless you submit a request to be listed with them. These requests usually involve supplying extended information about your website, including choosing a main category. Most of the directories take time to list a site. If after the time listed in the chart above has elapsed and you are still not finding your site listed, you should re-submit your URL to the search engines that do not have your listing. It often takes more than one submission to get the best results.
Search engines receive tens of thousands of submissions every day.
On days when the submission level is above normal, a certain number of submissions can be received properly but still not get listed. If your listing is not appearing on a certain search engine, you should resubmit it. Each search engine looks at different elements of your webpages, so we recommend implementing as many of these suggestions as possible. Most search engines assign highest priority to text located at the top of a page. The search engines assume that webmasters will usually present their most important information first.
