How to get my page Ranked on Search Engines?

[technogeeky]

Hey folks,

I have a web client who wants their webpage to be listed on search engines. How the heck is this possible now-a-days? I'd pay some money for it to happen, but I need as much advertizing as possible (eg, I wanna be top ranked on google, yahoo, MSN, etc).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Go to each of the major search engines, and poke around for the link to submit your site. Also, a good place to start is at Dmoz. Then sit and wait for the bots to show up. You'll want to do some research and learn how to increase your odds of better hits. (metatags, etc.)

Any other suggestions?

what he said ... meta tags

Quick warning: Google, and all google-based search engines don't look at meta-tags.

I already have meta tags. That has gotten me nowhere.

Are there any good pay services?

Extremely short version of what I've deduced so far:

Google - submit via DMOZ (Open Directory Project) and have good content and link popularity (quality inbound links to your site)

AOL - very similar/maybe identical to Google results

Yahoo! - $300/year for business additions to the directory.

If you pay for Yahoo! and do well in Google, you can sweep all three (Google/Yahoo/AOL).

MSN - Looksmart (pay per click) for "web directory" results and Inktomi ($39/$25 per page) for other results

I've learned a lot at www.searchengineforums.com and there are plenty of search engine optimization articles if you search for them.

Honestly, your best bet is to simply make a good website. Google's engine especially is good about using quality links to figure out how "good" a site is. There really isn't any way to cheat a link system other than getting people to like and link to your site.

Here is the answer to any and all questions relating to this.

There is also a thread on there to all the search engines and how to put your site on them. Meta tags are the key but there is a relationship between the tags and some words within the text of the site.

I think it's screwed up because I used php.
