Search engines such as Google use indexing to return results quickly for keyword searches. Search engine spiders constantly crawl the web cataloging web sites as they go. The results are stored in an index that the search engine refers to so it can respond to keyword queries quickly. It is, therefore, vital that your site be indexed by search engine spiders as completely and frequently as possible in order to appear in relevant keyword searches.
Use Agent Interactive's Index Report tool (at right) to determine which pages of your website have been indexed by major search engines, including Google, Alta Vista, Yahoo, AlltheWeb, MSN and Lycos. View both indexed URLs and the total number of pages of your website that have been indexed.
To evaluate your site's standing according to other key search engine marketing tools, use Agent Interactive's Ranking Report tool to check your placement in relevant keyword searches. Similarly, Agent Interactive's Link Popularity tool enables you to view the number and source of links pointing to your site, as well as to conduct a competitive analysis of your competition's link status.
Many factors can interfere with or limit a search engine spider's ability to crawl your website. These issues may range from page construction to link integrity to simple temporary site unavailability when the spider arrives. No matter the cause, pages that have not been indexed will simply not appear in search engine results. Conversely, the more pages and content from your site that are indexed, the more searches your site will appear in and the more traffic your site will generate.
For pages to be indexed, they must be constructed and positioned optimally. They must also incorporate content that is attractive to search engine spiders. Such optimization of your website will ensure that when search engine spiders arrive at your site, they will find you “palateable” and will crawl your site.
If you feel that your site is insufficiently indexed, or if you would like to rank higher in relevant search engine searches, Agent Interactive would be pleased to propose a search engine marketing solution for you.
