MORE ABOUT SEARCH ENGINES
Search engines that are populated via submissions result in large databases or indexes, that Web surfers query to find Web sites. When you use a search engine and type in a keyword, you are initiating a database query. The search engine then calls up a list of sites that match the query. Most engines use a scoring or "probable relevance" method to call up the sites.
There are methods of increasing your ranking in the search engines and each search engine uses different criteria for rating your site. Even after you have appeared in the top 10, you could easily be bumped on the next round of data upgrades. Some engines upgrade daily and others weekly.
If you are counting on your site to draw a large audience it is an absolute necessity to rank high in the search engine results. Monitoring this and resubmitting your pages to ensure your continued high profile presence is a time consuming but necessary process. If you have hired someone to maintain your page, it would still be wise to check your ranking occasionally for yourself and have a copy of the search results sent to you monthly with a copy of your listing as it appears on the search engine and your ranking.
