6. You cannot submit your website to some search engines

Some search engines don't have a submission form. For example, Ask.com finds new websites by following the links on other pages. Yahoo.com requires you to login to your account before you can submit your site.

For that reason, Yahoo.com can be found in the semi-automatic submitter in IBP.

Some popular search engines use the database of another search engine. For

example, many people think that AOL.com is a search engine. It isn't. AOL.com uses the index of Google.com. When you submit your website to Google, you also submit it to AOL.com.

If you find that a big search engine is not supported by IBP, take a close look at the search engine result page. If the result pages list text like "Powered by Google" or "

Results by Yahoo" then it's likely that the search engine doesn't have its own database. For that reason, it's not possible to submit to that search engine.

Click the "Supported Search Engines" button in the "Administration" panel in IBP's main window to get a list of all currently supported search engines.

You won't get high search engine rankings if you submit your website before

optimizing your pages. Submitting your website to search engines is pointless if your web pages are not search engine ready.

If you don't use your own domain name or if your website is hosted by an unreliable web host then it is likely that your website will not be listed on search engines. If the submitted website URL is only a redirection or a welcome page than it's also likely that search engines won't index your website.

Note that search engine submission is the least important step in search engine optimization. Search engine submission used to be important but it isn't anymore today. It is much more important to have optimized web pages and good inbound links. Without optimized web pages and good inbound links a website cannot get high rankings and search engine submission is totally pointless.

Before proceeding with the next step, make sure that you can check all boxes in the submission checklist. Click the Checklist panel in IBP's main window, then click the Expand All button in the toolbar and then scroll to the submission checklist:

It is very important that you can tick all boxes if you want to promote your website on search engines successfully.

The links to your website are one of the most important factors for high search engine rankings. Many webmasters are sure that inbound links (link to your site) are the most important factor.

If you want to get high search engine rankings on Google, Yahoo and other major search engines, then your website must have many good inbound links.

IBP offers powerful link building tools that will help you to get high quality inbound links.

It is not possible to get high rankings on Google, Yahoo or other major search engines without good links. Google will only list your website in their search results if they find at least one other website that links to your site.

The more other websites link to your website, the higher your search engine rankings will be. The idea behind this concept is simple: if many other websites link to your website then your website must be important.

In addition to the sheer number of the links, the quality of the links is also important.

In this chapter you'll learn:

· how links influence the success of your website

· how links to other websites can affect your search engine rankings

· how to decide if a link is a quality link or not

· which links don't work with search engines

There are two main types of links:

· links from other websites to your website (inbound links)

· links from your website to other websites (outbound links) Both can influence the success of your website.

Inbound links influence your website in many ways:

1. All major search engines use inbound links to rank websites. If your site has many good inbound links then you'll have high rankings on the search engines.

2. Other websites send you new visitors through the links. If you have just 500 links pointing to your site and each site sends you in average only 3 visitors per day, then you'll get 1,500 targeted visitors per day.

3. Exchanging reciprocal links with other sites will build a great link directory. Your visitors will bookmark your site and visit your site again and again because you can offer them a valuable resource: your link directory.

The links to your website should be high quality links. Details about the quality of links can be found in the chapter High quality links and low quality links ⁹⁶.

While most webmasters are aware that incoming links are important to the success of a website, many site owners don't know that outgoing links also have an impact on their websites.
