Search Engine Traffic

[Pete]

Search Engine Traffic is a topic talked about a lot around here but I have something I would like to ask. Does anyone submit multiple pages on multiple domains to multiple search engines daily for weeks or months on end? If so, how much traffic do you get?

I have just started working the search engines with some pretty good tricks. I hope they work!

well.. for my part i submit each of my sites each month with different dorways...but still i get just a few traffic from se...it seems that meta tags are getting most of the catch from google....i'm not sure but on one gallery i can get like 500 hits/day from yahoo listing when from google i get 5000.. with search terms i did not submit but were only in my metas...

Here goes a jumble of meta tags.. Some meta tags are no longer even in use for alot of engines and I have also heard that you can get penelitys for Inacurate or excessive use on tags..

META NAME="AREA"CONTENT="INSERT INFO HERE" > "
META HTTP-EQUIV="AUDIENCE"CONTENT="INSERT INFO HERE" > "
META NAME="AUTHOR"CONTENT="INSERT INFO HERE" > "
META HTTP-EQUIV="CHARSET"CONTENT="text/html; charset=" US - ASCII" > "
META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-language"CONTENT="INSERT INFO HERE" > "

..put a < before all the META ...

5000 hits on a gallery from google? per day? turn the gallery to a full page add! ;-)

What is this one? Another way to prevent the surfers system from caching your site for later access offline or something?

You would be talking about my b/f there - he does just that - its getting to be a bore lol
Come rain or shine he submits to SE's

Gemini: That tag instructs certain proxy servers not to cache anything from a specific page.
It prevents users on a shared Internet connection to view the same (outdated) pages that someone on the same network just browsed.
Mostly used for pages with dynamically inserted data.

As for SE traffic, my Top 5 stats from crawlers/spiders are like this:
Google 85%
AltaVista 8%
Northern Light 5%
MSN Search 2%

These are for a site where nobody bothered submitting to any
engines/crawlers or making any META tags. Many search queries
used to reach the site seems to be a bit awkward (i.e. 15 hits
on the search words "advanced home cooking").

don't worry about submitting, just get incoming links from sites that are already in the index and you will be fine..

[SEGuru]

The Pragma No-Cache meta instructs the engines as well to NOT cache that document in their index.

Google created their own tag, the No-Archive tag, to offer webmasters a way of keeping google from caching the website.

As for Submissions...if you like to control your own submissions without just trusting that bots will show (especially if ya help them along) and index you...then I'd recommend Traffic Freaks.

You can control multi-site submissions in numerous different formats: real-time, pre-scheduled or recurring-schedule submission. Makes managing submissions for lots of sites MUCH easier.

I would consider submission strategies though carefully on how you deploy your SEO campaigns as well as how you are going to manage it on-going. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
