Want to know what search engine database for Dubai is? The language is "build a site and
they will come." This formula is only true if your site is indexed in the
relevant search engine database for Dubai.
Indexing on search engines
Search engines like Google, Yahoo
and MSN are essentially massive databases of domains and sub-domains for sites.
When a person searches for something, the search engine instantaneously
searches the domain names to come up with relevant listings. The method for
doing this differs by search engine and involves various factors which are not
discussed in this article. Instead, we are going to focus on figuring out if
your site is in these important search engine databases.
You want to be included in the
rankings on a search engine, your domain name has to be in the search engine
database. Put another way, you have to buy a ticket if you want travel by air.
Your chances of getting free traffic from rankings are far better if you have
as many pages from your site included in the database as possible. Having just
your home page indexed isn't going to cut it.
If your site has 200 total pages,
you ideally want all 200 pages included in the search engine index. While this
is admittedly a simplification of the situation, the more pages included, the
better chance you have of getting high rankings under different keywords. The
more high rankings you produce, the more free traffic you can get and the
easier it will be to survive the loss of one ranking.
There is a way to check how many
pages of your site are indexed in a particular search engine, simply do a
search on the particular engine for "site:yourdomainname.com". Pay particular
attention to Yahoo, as it often will fail to pick up many of your pages. The
result of this search will show you all the pages the search engine has found
on your site and included in its database.
If you find out only a few pages
have been indexed by the search engine, you need to take a closer look at your
site. One common problem for sites using databases concerns dynamic urls. Many
programmers will write session ids and so on into the pages urls. The search
engines have massive problems reading these urls and will often fail to include
them in their databases. You have this problem if the internal pages of your
site have tails like:
"yourdomainname/id43/s-876783/product=46830
If you have this sort of problem,
the best solution is to create static pages without the dynamic page urls
issues. The session ids and so on should be moved into the code of the page and
removed from the url. You will probably need a programmer to make the fix or
avoid the problem by choosing a company that knows that they are doing when
they create your Dubai business portal.
If you don't have this problem, you
need to figure out how to get your site into the search engine indexes. There
are plenty of articles telling you how to get into a search engines index
however the first step is just figuring out if the search engines have found
you and you are in the search engine database for Dubai based businesses.
