I am so lost when it comes to understanding Search Engines. I do get some traffic, but it's taken like 2 years for my pages to start showing up. Ive been making doorway pages, submitting my sites about once a month, trying to use proper meta tags with unique kewords. However, I dont get nearly the amount of traffic from the search engines as I wish I could.
Anybody want to take a stab at these questions?
1)Will the search engines pickup and spider html files within a sites directory...even if there is no link to those html files or directory from an outside page?
2) I hear Meta Tags are not that important any more...and I should focus more on the TITLE tag instead. Is this true?
3) How many doorway pages do you use per site
4) How often do you submit your site to the search engines?
5) Do you submit only your main URL (http://www.yoursite.com) or do you submit your galleries, and everything else?
Does anybody know of a good resource site for understanding how Search Engines work?
Thanks
