Is there life beyond Google & Yahoo?

What do after your site is into Google and Yahoo

[silverbytes]

My visits comes from Google and Yahoo. I spent lot of time and efforts trying to get some traffic all over internet. Tried other sarch engines, local se and dirs, and so on.
Nothing works but Google and Yahoo. Traffic is 95% or higher G and Y!

Is there something I'm missing? What other actions you can take to make your website traffic grow?

[specter]

No more actions!

What do you want more?

If the ranking on Yahoo and Google is good ,it's enough...Otherwise work to improve it.
Submitting your site to other SEs specially if locals will result in a waste of time.It doesn't worth the efforts.

Is there something you're missing?

Maybe Altavista and MSN.
The first very important.The second,less.

[silverbytes]

Altavista = site match?
Sending your site to yahoo isn't the same thing than sending altavista?(free option, and we are talking about that's already done)

How do you get into MSN serp?

[specter]

Sending your site to yahoo isn't the same thing than sending altavista?

No.It isn't.You can access to Altavista only if you've already an existing account on Yahoo,it's different.So make your submission to Altavista and Yahoo separately.

How do you get into MSN serp?

Sincerely I don't know.I've got my site indexed on it without any submission. It ranks very well,but only a small niche of traffics comes from.

Sorry but the url you get in altavista is this one:

[submit.search.yahoo.com...]

If you enter Yahoo is this one:

[submit.search.yahoo.com...]

That tells me submitting to altavista is not necessary at all once you did in Yahoo.

>>Is there life beyond Google & Yahoo?

yes.

msn

it is MUCH more important than most people here give it credit for, it will also gain in importance during the next year.

One of my recently launched sites didn't show up at all in MSN, but was quickly picked up via links in Yahoo and Google. I decided to submit my site to MSN at [search.msn.com ] and within 48 hours, my site was indexed. It could have been a coincidence, maybe my site was really picked up by a link. But, it definitely seemed like submitting helped.

Are you listed in Altavista?

[sem4u]

Well my sites are listed in Yahoo, MSN, Altavista et al and I haven't submitted a site for years...

[silverbytes]

If I type domain:www.mydomain.com in altavista's search box my sites appear, yes.

[specter]

I mean some inexed page not the url.

[bnhall]

I get tons of traffic from MSN

[specter]

Stay low...

[silverbytes]

yes I put some terms and in altavista and some pages of mine show... where are you going?

[specter]

Hi Silverbytes,

My "Stay low" was referred to [b]bnhall[/quote].
As I've a site very well ranked on MSN for many good keywords but it brings me only a 20% traffic (when it goes well!).

[silverbytes]

It's ok. Do you agree with me than listing in Yahoo search is the same thing than Altavista?

I can't get any traffic from MSN actually...

[specter]

Do you agree with me than listing in Yahoo search is the same thing than Altavista?

Yes I do. I known that they were the same "subject" but I thought that they kept separate submission processes.

As regard MSN don't expect great things from it.
Probably in the next future...
It crowles and indexes excellently,but is still underestimate.
