Major Search Engines


	Which search engine do you use?" If you are like the vast majority of people you will have answered Google, Yahoo, MSN/Bing, Ask, AOL or one of about 10 different search engines. With well over 95% of all searches being conducted on the top 15 engines.


	As a rule of thumb, submit manually, submit to all the major search engines and monitor those engines to see if your site is indexed (listed with the search engine). Once it's listed don't resubmit. Submitting your site multiple times to a search engine does not improve your chances of ranking well.
