I thought I'd just bring this topic to a new thread instead of asking on someone elses.....
For those of you with a website, did any of you do the search engine submissions on your own instead of paying the extra fee to have it done? I would like to submit myself but am not sure how to do this. Any tips?

You could do it on your own, but it wouldn't accomplish anything. The hosting company won't add your keywords to your site unless you pay for the submission service. <!--

Portal sites like Google and Yahoo for example, have services to help your ad be found in online searches, but yes you do have to pay for it. Most of them use a method where you pay per click. This means that you set a price and every time someone clicks on your web page, it costs you. I did the extra fee of $40 on my myarbonne page and probably won't do it again. Don't think it did anything.

I would not do it. Becuase our websites are just "sub" pages of the myarbonne.com
The best thing is just work on your meta tags and so forth. The bad thing is even with your meta tags, you can't use Arbonne's brand names or anything.
They really don't want us to be doing real internet marketing, it's more like our sites are there to just help our customers.

Hi Everybody,
Website design is my day job, so I thought I would clear up a few things.
The search engines do see the yourname.myarbonne.com sites as individual websites.
The big search engines completely ignore the metatags. Instead they count the number of times a particular word appears on a page and then figure the percentage of that word versus the total number of words.
So if you want your page to be found by keywords then you have to use the keywords a lot on the page. But you have to do it in a conversational way. You can't justtypea particularkeyword a bunch of timesat the bottom of the page - that will get your webpage banned. That's called spamming the search engines.
After the search engine looks at the keyword counts and percentages, it then looks at the links at the bottom of the page. If the link text has the keywords in it that helps.
The other thing about keywords is that you should use words that people actually type in to the search engines. A key word is not useful if nobody thinks of typing it.
So ask your customers what they would type in to try to find cosmetics or your site and use those.
You won't get a lot of traffic, but every little bit counts.
What is really good is to put your website address on your cards, brochures and so on and hand those out. That works better than the engines anyway!
Hope this helps.
