| Question - What is a spider? |
| |
| Answer - Spider (also called a "crawler"
or a "bot") is the actual program that visits a web page
on websites, reads it, and uses hypertext links on each page to discover
and read a site's other pages. |

| Question - Is there a way to speed
up the process? |
| |
| Answer - Yes, there are several paid inclusion
programs offered by various search engines which speeds up the entire
process. Generally, the various programs offer a review of your website in a more timely manner, often within a few days to one week.
In some instances, however, paid inclusion can become costly and may
be redundant as some databases are used for several search engines.
The decision on which paid programs to use is primarily based on how
competitive the category of your keyword search may be and the time
frame you are prepared to wait to be listed. GetOn.com reviews all
available options, makes recommendations based on the current conditions
and assists our clients in making cost effective decisions. |

| Question - My site was #1 for a
long time, now it's slipped to #12. What can I do? |
| |
| Answer - Search engines may change how they rank
websites They may have newly added a partner that provides different
results, gone to a paid inclusion only program, be experiencing intermittent
glitches. It may be as simple as your website may have dropped in
"link popularity" and work to increase your popularity could
restore your position. |
