In the designing of this and 100 other websites, I have garnered
a huge variety of information and strategies for higher search engine placement.
There are a lot of places on the net who promise to get your site included into
thousands of search engines. They charge between $49-$250 for their
"service". Please don't do this. You are wasting money that you
could be using for your next album. Don't listen to these "making a quick
buck for nothing" sites. These guys are literally getting paid for nothing
AND, its wasted anyway if your meta tags are not "search engine friendly."
There are only
about 15-20 engines and indexes where you need to be listed. These are (Engines)
Aeiwi,
Alexa,
AllTheWeb,
AltaVista,
AOL Search,
Anzwers,
DirectHit,
Excite,
Google,
HotBot,
Inktomi,
Kanoodle,
Lycos,
MasterSite,
National Directory,
Northern Light,
Overture.com,
SearchHippo,
SearchIt,
Subjex,
WebsMostLinked,
WebTop,
WiseNut,
What-U-Seek, (Indexes)
About.com,
Ask.com,
Jayde,
JoeAnt.com,
GoGuides.org,
LookSmart,
MSN Search Index,
Open Directory Project,
Rex,
TurnPike,
Yahoo. Though all
others aren't unimportant, they usually get their listings from one of the above
search engines/indexes.
Most independent artists' websites
(most websites in general, really) are ill prepared for listing in these engines and indexes. You MUST
have GOOD META TAGS! For instance, I see a lot of <title> tags that have
the name spelled like this, "raypasnen". This is not good, for a lot of
reasons which I won't get into now. (I do get into it
here.) And, this
example is just 10% of what I'm talking about. 50% of the artists listed on
this site will find that they are listed below us in other search engines.
This is because we fix your tags before we add them to our directory.
Thereby making your listing on our site more valuable to search engines than your whole website! Let us make your site "Search Engine Friendly."
I'll do the meta tags on your site for $10
but only if you are an
independent artist. Then, I'll
tell you which search engines to submit to. In a month, you'll be getting
the "traffic" (people who are finding us when looking for you)! Businesses, we get a lot of your traffic, too. We have
special rates for you. Just drop us an email.

I need to get some details about your website before I can fix the tags. Then,
I'll email you the tags. Just copy and paste into your <head> tags or I'll
do it for you. I'll need to know your password and user name for one-time access to your site,
if you want me to upload it for you. Either way, its easy and you need it
done. The password will be used only once and then discarded. Don't worry, I'm no
scumbag. I'll change only your meta tags and maybe make some suggestions
about your textual content. (Textual content really matters to Search Engines, too.)
