By following all the guidelines I've designed a couple of sites that do really well in the search engines, so I thought it would be no problem to do it again, but here's what I'm having some serious troubles.
1. I designed a site and had the paid for 48 hour spider deal from Inktomi and InSite Select (Lycos) This should be an easy deal - the site is lv-boxing.com and all I wanted was hits on "Las Vegas boxing."
2. When my listing showed up, I had decent results, but def. not what I wanted -
in pure inktomi - it comes up 9th
in lycos - 19th.
3. So I did all kinds of changes, but it never moves - changes to the title and the description tag appear, but the listing is always the same.
4. Sooooooooo (after all this) here is my question -
When these services spider your site, are you reindexed? Or does it just display any cosmetic changes you have made?
I'm troubled by all of this, because every site ahead of me doesn't look like it's been optimized at all. It's so frustrating!
Thanks in advance...
