The key to online success is to announce your web presence successfully. The very first step you should take is to submit your site to the search engines. Search engines have been proven again and again as a most effective advertising tool. Keep in mind that this is just the first step and there are many other ways and strategies to attract people to your web site.

While submitting your name is important, you also have to make sure you are ranked highly within those search engines. Everyone wants his or her site to be listed highly. Unfortunately, many web sites appear poorly in search engine rankings or may not be listed at all because they fail to consider how search engines work.

Meta tags are a great way to promote your web site through many search engines. Meta tags are optional lines of HTML code in your document that can be used to describe your page. These tags provide descriptive information about your site to search engines, but in a form that isn't displayed by the browser. Meta tags are the keywords that potential customers will punch into the search engines. HostingHK offers a tool that can assist in selecting keywords, producing Meta tags, submitting to 100 different search engines, and tracking through those search engines. These tools can go a long way to promote your site with search engines. However, there is no guarantee with any search engine that you will be rated highly. Beware of those who will try to mislead you into believing that your site will be listed highly in all search engines. Do your own research and see how and where your company information will be presented.

HostingHK also provides Search Engine Submission service to submit your website to the world's 1800 largest search engines, including AltaVista, Hotbot, Infoseek and Google. Please contact our customer services representative for more details.
