There is a list of job search engines found to the right. If you have a
jobs web site, submitting it for inclusion into the major search engines should be
one of your most important goals...
Here is the top rated search engine
submission site.
Price-per-click (PPC) search engines focus on web site owners who want
immediate results. Traffic is generated to your web site by paying for placement. Paying a
higher price-per-click generally means a higher ranking amongst other competing web site
owners in the search results.
The alternative to PPC is a free or paid listing in a non PPC search
engine. These engines usually rank your page according to the number of incoming links to
your site. These search engines generally "crawl" the web on a regular basis.
This means that the search engine has a software program that automatically clicks on all
of the links in web sites that have been submitted for manual inclusion and then indexes
each page. If there is a new domain name or URL in the link that is being crawled, then
that site will be included automatically without the need for manual inclusion.
Non PPC search engines typically take a few months to index a manual
submission. However, if the domain or URL is included on a web page that is ranked highly,
then the time required to get it indexed can be less than a week!
Meta search engines provide combined results from several search engines.
These are useful for hard to find search keywords.
