Directories and Search Engines
A directory has humans that review its listings. You submit a short description for your site. Editors often change or write one for the sites they review. Changing your web pages will not effect your listing. Search matches are only from these descriptions. Good sites, (in the opinion of the reviewer) with good content, might get reviewed. Yahoo Web Sites and Open
Directory are examples.
Search engines crawl the web and create listings automatically. Search engines revisit sites often. Changes made to your web pages (meta and body copy) are eventually found by the search engines. These changes can affect how you are listed. A search engine follows the links down one level and in time will crawl through your pages. AltaVista is an example.

Improve your Ranking: You must submit or re-submit your pages to all the major search engines each month to keep or improve your ranking. Change the content on your pages by 75 to 150 characters and the search engines will see that your site is providing new information and more likely to give you a higher rank. You can do this
by content or just by adding a few extra line spaces at the bottom of your page. If you add a link to us it adds new content. If you place our link on your home page the spider will find it sooner. Fresh content it always good for your site. We recommend that you only submit one page to each of the search engines per day per site.
