Meta Tag Creation & Search Engine Submission Terms & Conditions
Setup Fee
Once your setup fee is processed we will begin work on your project order within 24 hours. The typical time it takes to conduct research for your web site and to create the Meta Tags takes approximately 48-72 hours depending on the number of pages in your web site that require them. We will then manually install these Meta tags on your web pages for you (FTP Access required), or send you the Meta Tags in separate text files labeled the same as your existing page names so you can easily copy and pate into your pages.
After the Meta Tags are installed, we will submit your web site to the major search engines including:
AltaVista, HotBot, Infoseek, Lycos, Northern Light, Direct Hit, Google, All the Web/Fast, AOL Search, Iwon and Open Directory.
Search Engine Indexing Time Frames
The time it takes for your pages to show up in the search engines depends on whether a page was crawled to by the engine or submitted directly.
This is how long each engine takes to finish crawling and indexing your site:
Direct Hit
5 - 6 months
Google
8 - 10 weeks
Northern Light
6 - 8 weeks
Lycos
3 - 4 months
AltaVista
6-8 weeks

Be aware, that search engines sometimes go through various cycles of unusual operation. Excite and Infoseek, for example, have been known to index pages, rank them highly, then drop them off the index for 2 to 6 weeks, then bring them back. HotBot and AltaVista have in the past gone through several weeks when they would not list any new submissions. Like any other service, the search engines can go through times of technical difficulty so expect it when it happens or you notice anything unusual.
e-Business-Associates.com will continue to monitor
your pages and resubmitting them when necessary until they begin showing up in the indexes
and will send you a ranking report at that time. *(Provided, that you
purchased a website submission package with your Meta Tag optimization).
Additional Terms
Note: We do not provide Search Engine Placement services for sites offering adult content and/or services.
All other details of this service are included in the Directory Submission page which lists each package options and details.
