| Does your site rank highly for keyphrases that no one searches on? If no one is searching on your keyphrases, it won't matter how highly your site is ranked.

| Submitting Sites To Search Engines |
| I'm often asked how often one should submit or resubmit their site to the spidering search engines. Many people believe they should submit their site on a periodic basis to keep their site in the search engines' "faces." Submitting URLs that are already in a search engine's database, which hasn't had any significant content changes, is not a good idea. Many people are under the (false) assumption that they should constantly submit their Web site to the spidering search engines. Read why Jill believes this is a bad idea! |

| Let Your Trusted Experts Do Their Job! |
| I just don't get it. Why do some companies pay lots of money to have an expert do a job for them and then not let them do it? Sometimes you need an expert. When that time comes, choose someone you have the utmost faith in, and then sit back and let them get to work. |
