If your SEO tip or tips are selected for inclusion in SEO Notebook, your bio will be included directly beneath it for all to see (tips can be of any length). Please be sure to include your bio with each tip that you submit for inclusion. Your bio should be one paragraph with up to 50 words – not including submitter name, title and URL. Here’s an example of an SEO tip with the submitter’s bio:
How Search Engines Work
Search engines are sometimes referred to as robots, spiders or crawlers. This is because they use a software utility that literally crawls through your Website, catalogs the information and indexes the content for later reference. When a visitor performs a search, the search results are based on keyword matching and site content of cataloged pages.
A search engine has its spider or robot crawl through the World Wide Web (www) and travel from Website to Website. In fact, if your page is linked from anybody else’s site, you technically don’t even need to submit your site to a search engine. The theory is that search engines indexing the Web (spidering and cataloging) will eventually find your site on its own by following the links in a page that links to yours.
Although this might be true, you might need to submit your own site to make sure it gets in. Before doing this however, you should check to make sure that your site is not listed and then submit it only if it is not. This is to avoid being accused of over-submitting.
If your site was cataloged before you were ready, you will want to consider resubmitting it – but only if you can do so without violating any submission rules. This is very important!
