A thorough submission approach ensures that your site will be submitted to all the major search engines when your contract with us comes in effect. This allows the site to be recognized by the engines and allows the site to be crawled. After the final process your site will be submitted.
As soon as the agreement to work together is formed, we will submit your site to literally thousands of Search Engines and their Global subsidiaries around the world; these include the top 10 major search engines who account for approximately 95% of the market. The percentages may add up to more than 100% because the sites sometime get listed more than once, this figure is still a good measure.
- Google = 41.6
- Yahoo = 31.5
- msn = 27.4
- aol = 13.6

The thousand or so smaller and more obscure search engines take up the remaining five percent of the market; they may not produce many results individually but over time the numbers could add up collectively. You should expect a delay of several weeks before the search engines recognise the changes. The approximate times of delay are listed below.

MSN -> Up to 2 months
Google -> Up to 4 weeks
AltaVista -> Up to 1 week
Fast -> Up to 2 weeks
