Because search engines use proprietary ranking algorithms, and Web directories rely on human editors, there is no guarantee that submitting your Web site or any other action will produce a high ranking with a particular search engine or directory.
However, there are several things you can do that may increase your search engine ranking.
- Use clear, concise title, description, and keyword meta tags.
- Ensure proper use of HTML heading tags (h1, h2, h3, etc.).
- Use alt tags on images.
- Make regular updates to your site.
- Resubmit your domain after large updates.
Keep in mind that any updates made to your search engine ranking may take six to eight weeks to reflect.
