Our introduction to finding. (i.e.: Searching the net).
Search sites are amongst the most mysterious places on the internet. There are no standards on how they should operate and brand recognition, as in any other medium, determines each ones popularity. Search sites can take up to 3 to 6 weeks before indexing your web site. Be patient. Requesting to be indexed over and over again will not speed up the process. Remember that search engines are providing you with a free service and a wonderful one at that.
Hundreds of millions of pages or locations as a URL determines are the fodder for these search sites. Gathering information is the goal, finding information is the result. Not only is the standard from search engines (a search engine looks for your site) different for search directories (a search directory needs to be told about your site), but each is always modifying the way they catalog information. An overwhelming task buy any standards.
Finding anything is more than just being listed in a gazillion search engines.
