• How long does it take before my Web site gets listed with search engines!?

Even though of the servers immediately send your Web page information to the server of the search engines and directories, it takes between one day and six weeks for your submission to become a listing. Usually, AltaVista and InfoSeek take only a few days to index your page. Most listings, however, will take several weeks, because search engines receive many submissions every day.

• How will I know if my site has been listed?

Some directories will send you an e-mail confirming your request. This is not a guarantee that your site has been listed. The best way to confirm your listing is to go to the search engine and search for your site.
Note: It often takes a few weeks for a listing to make it into a search engine.

• Can I purchase additional URLs?

Adding URLs to your online account is easy and it can be done at any time after you sign up
for one of our search engine packages!

• How long will it take for my website to start showing up in the search engines after the initial submission?

It depends on the search engine. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few months, but it usually takes around two weeks for most search engines to index your site.

• Can you make my website appear more prominently in Web searches?

There are a number of "tricks of the trade" that can be used to modify a website to improve its ranking in a Web search. GoGraphics stays on top of the latest tricks, both through external sources and our own internal research department. We'll employ the best and most modern techniques when we prepare your website for submission to the search engines.

• I've seen websites that guarantee they can place my website in the top-10 in Web search results. Can you?

While there are many techniques that can be used to improve a website's ranking in search engine results, there is no way to absolutely ensure a top-10 listing. We have found that many of these types of companies use the exact same techniques that we do to improve search engine ranking. If they are lucky enough to get your website in the top-10 of one or more search engines, they get to keep some or all of your money; if not, they return it. They have nothing to loose by making the claim, but because they usually wind up having to return a large percentage of customers' money, they charge much more than our service—usually hundreds of dollars.

• What are "Free-For-All Links" pages?

"Free-For-All Links" pages | often referred to as "FFA" pages | offer to put a link to your website on their Web page. While extra exposure sounds like a good idea, we have found that in almost all instances, these pages, which are run by both companies and individuals, are nothing more than a way to get your e-mail address so they can send you advertisements. FFA pages are almost never organized in any meaningful way, and usually have no type of search facility at all. GoGraphics' search engine submission service does not submit your site to any FAA pages.
