The Search Engine Visibility Submissions report enables you to easily track the status of your search engine submissions. For each of the search engines and directories you have submitted your Web page to, the Submission report will list the status as:
- Submitted — the submission process was completed successfully. It does not, however, necessarily mean that the submitted content was indexed. Once Search Engine Visibility lists the submission status as Submitted, click View to display the search engine's actual submission response. In most cases, the response will acknowledge the submission and, in some cases, state the estimated turnaround time. If the submitted page failed to comply with the engine's submission criteria and the submission was rejected, the response will usually explain the nature of the problem.
- Failed — the submission process was not completed successfully. This may be due to a problem with the Search Engine Visibility submission service or with the search engine itself. In the event of submission failure, Search Engine Visibility will attempt to resubmit your page.
- Pending — the submission process is underway, but not completed.
To review your Submission report, from the Optimize menu, select Submit.
