Search Engines

Search engines are an important part of Internet marketing.  Search engines enable the end user to explore the Internet by topic to find a web site that provides what they are looking for.  Search Engines are like your local telephone directory for the Internet.  Just like you use your local telephone book to look up businesses, people on the Internet use search engines to look up information.  So if your site is not listed with the search engines, your site will not show up when a search is done.

It does not matter how attractive your site is.  If you do not register it with the search engines, you are selling your site short and eliminating a lot of visitors to your site.  But listing your site is not enough.  It must be listed in the top 30 for you to get visitors out of it.  Most searchers do not look beyond the first 30 results.  You don't want your site to be the one millionth site indexed on a particular search.  That is why we employ a process called gatewaying.  This is a complex way to get your Web site registered high on the search engines using a system of programming and codes.  This has proven to be a highly successful way of achieving high search engine listings.   For more information on our gatewaying program, click here.

The problem is that every day, over 2000 Web Sites are being submitted to the search engines, making it extremely difficult to get a high listing.  Submitting your Web Site to the search engines is a time consuming and laborious task.  It is not as easy as listing your company name with one or two search indexes.  You need to know how to include keywords,alt tags, hidden text,  titles and meta-tags.  That is why we at TriCom Technologies will do that task for you.  Our experienced staff will list your Web Site with all the search engines that you like.  For search engine listing prices, please see our Marketing packages page.
