Registering keyword in yahoo or other search engine. 5

[seaport]

My question is simple - how to move my company to the first position in the search result of a primary Internet search engine, such as Yahoo?

I checked Yahoo's site but only found how to suggesting a site.

I heard that I need to "buy" keyword. If this is true, how do I buy it?

Thanks in advance.

Yahoo is a directory that is designed and "decided" by people. That is, it doesn't spider and index the entire contents of the Internet like, say, Alta Vista. That's why Yahoo has the "suggest a site" option. They only take "suggestions", and reserve the right to reject any and all. If you click on "Suggest a site" at Yahoo, you'll soon be offered another link or button that says, in effect, click here to find out how you can pay us (what is it now, $250 or $500?) to "expedite" the review of your suggestion. And they STILL may refuse you without refund.

Other search engines can be somewhat more easily manipulated using META tags (find out about them a

and other well-known tricks of the trade.

In any event, keeping your site in the top rankings of the search engines is a full-time occupation and some good site submission software is highly recommended. Try Web Position Gold and Submit Wolf for starters, or find a good reliable site submission service to subscribe to.

IMO, the best "bang for the buck" is getting spidered by Inktomi. By paying an Inktomi reseller $30 (each additional URL is $15), you are guaranteed to be spidered and indexed by Inktomi within two days, and at least twice a week for a year thereafter. It's been well worth it for me, but before you sign up, make sure your index (or other portal page of your choosing) is search engine optimized.

For commercial listings, Yahoo charges $199 for consideration, with no guarantee that you will be listed. Robert Bradley

Without "spamming", you can also increase your exposure by placing keywords in specific locations, like the "alt" attribute of an image tag. Thus
<img src=&quot;images/picture.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;pet stores online&quot;>
is just one more way to convince the 'ol spider that you really are a site rich in pet content.

Also, the <H1> - <H6> header tags, at least back in the old days, were supposed to be good places to plant keywords, hence
<H1>Pet Store Stuff Galore</H1>
would also presumably make that case.

Of course, the title and links too. Don't neglect to name your links using keywords, a la

<a href=&quot;somepageoranchor.html&quot;>Pet Store Trivia</a>

So, it's not just quantity, but quality and placement, if you will, that convinces the spider that you are highly relevent to the keywords that you've indicated you are relevent to.

Does the position of the site in search result also depend on web space provider?

There are a lot of free services out there for the main websites. Try this URL:

At the bottom you will find several free submission sources. I would like to see your websites meta tags and know how many sites link to your URL and I can give you some good advice how to improve your search engine rankings.

It took me about 6 months but I am placed in the top 20 on Google, AOL, Lycos, Alta Vista, Hot Bot, MSN.... I am currently working on a new website and beginning the steps in order to get it placed high in the search engines.

The site I have that is ranked high is:
