Site Submission After optimising your site you are then ready to start submitting your site to
search engines. The search engines which Web Ceo submits to, provide about 95% of all web searches and include Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, and MSN amongst others. In total, you can easily submit automatically to about 250 search engines and make manual submissions (which take a little longer but are very important) to about another 20 directories.
Rankings After submitting your site you can then use Web Ceo to monitor your rankings with individual search engines based on your keywords. Although you can do this manually using a spreadsheet and browsing all of
search engines, Web Ceo does it so much more easily and saves you
time you need to get on with running your hotel!
