How often is too often to re-submit a url I want spidered?

first off that checker has not been updated in 6 months, and probably needs it in a bad way.

secondly google only shows PR4+ links publicly in their link: search, so they will always show less.

Ohhhhh...yeah, he'll have to answer that one.

Yeah, but when I go to Google, it shows about 500 links to my page (so all of those pages are gonna be PR4+)...

If it's not been updated in 6 months, then it's understandable. 6 months ago, Google wasn't my best friend, lol.

when you do the "link:" command it will show you all site that link to you. When you use the backlink tool in the Google toolbar, you will only see sites that have at least a PR of 4 linking to you.

Is this what your asking?

No no, I was asking why Nuclei's tool didn't seem to reflect what search engines thought of me...

In his popularity checker...

AllTheWeb : Pop Rank 1 : 4,301 backlinks listed on their site
Yahoo : Pop Rank 0 : 29,900 backlinks listed on their site

I was wondering why Yahoo showed me as having 29,900 backlinks, yet his popularity checker shows me having 0 popularity there (lower rating than another search engine that only has 4,301 links back to me). Then when he said he hasn't updated it in 6 months, it made sense.

6 Months ago, search engines didn't know much about my site

I was not asking anything. I stated that using the link: search the results shown are ONLY the sites with PR4 or better. Period. Google does not publicly show any sites under PR4 in the link: search.

you lost me I think it sucks you pay money to expedite to the search engines, and then they take their sweet time anyway. They certainly charged it to my visa fast enough

Nuclei,

That was a question to Axe.

jfvb1225,
Usually when you do pay to get into a search engine, they get your site in their index in less than a week. Which engine are you talking about that is taking a while?

Ask Jeeves / Teoma. $30 paid on 2/27.

Plus I paid for go-daddy to do the submission through several different sites and the results have been marginal.

As long as your in the engine. You will not get very good results from those engines has they do not get very much traffic. I track all my incoming traffic and I get very little from each of those.

Im only showing up in google, and not very well. Thats my fault for submitting the page before I knew enough to have the title, keyword, and description tags the way they should be. It would be nice if you could get the engines to re-look at your site when you want them to. Ive got ad-word running on google as well, and have seen no calls or emails from it. So Im sending money to newspapers at the moment for advertising space, which I intended to do anyway to reach potential customers with no computer or no internet access. I guess some people do still read the paper to find out the news. Theres not a lot of competition here in Youngstown for computer services. So Im really only competing with a few other businesses. It appears to me that people who operate the search engines work just like the government, theyll take your cash faster than lightning, but provide the service you paid for at a snails pace.

You know Google Adwords has a regional targeting service. All you have to do is set it up for your area and your ads will only show up there.

I have had a little success with it. The nice thing is that you save money because you wont have people on the other side of the country clicking on your ads.

Google also has a free tracking service. I do not use because we have inhouse software. This could help you with why you are not seeing any leads from your ads.

Also, Webtrends is a good product to find out if there is a specifc term people are using to find you or if there is a certain page people are leaving, then you can fix that page to better suit your visitors.

If you want to keep tracking of your ranking for different keywords, http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ has a great free Google tracking report.

This way you can see where your positioning is and how often it increases or decreases.

I'll try that, thanks. Ive got my google adword setup down to about 10 keywords that have been running strong for days. And I do have it set up regionally for my area. Some good tracking data does seem like the logical place for answers. Thanks for the links.

Does it ever end? Now I found another submission site for Aeiwi. And this one wants all keywords seperated by a comma or it wont accept the url. it would be nice if there was some kind of standards.
