Submit Your Web Pages
Instructions


1. Publish your web page.

2. Submit your page to Search Engines when Publish Successfully completes. 

You will be informed by Cool Page when publishing has completed successfully and you will then have the opportunity to submit your web page to several* search engines:
* The submission website is not owned or maintained by Cool Page.  Search engines want users to submit their pages via their own websites making it sometimes hard for submission tools to remain functional 100% of the time.  This submission tool is one of the best in existence.  If the tool does not submit to a search engine then use Submission Websites below.
Guidelines


Do not spam search engines by submitting your web pages over and over again in short periods of time.  It can take up to several weeks before your pages get listed.  Some search engines may penalize your ranking if you submit too frequently.

Most search engines have a section of their website that answers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) about submitting web pages.
(see below)

Is My Page Listed?


Search engines "spider" the www looking for websites to index.  On average, a search engine will update it's index of webpages about every 6 weeks or so, but this is not always the case.

Some search engines struggle to keep up with the rapidly growing www and they may only update their indexes every few months! 
If you encounter any difficulties getting your pages listed by search engines then see the Search Engine Tips page and also see the rules and guidelines of the particular search engine at their website.

The HTML code generated by Cool Page is search engine friendly, even Cool Page framesets.  Please realize that if your page does not get indexed by a search engine or if your page is ranked low, that Cool Page has no control over this, and that indexing and ranking are controlled by the search engines alone and also realize that some search engines will NOT index pages on free web hosts' servers.
