Please ensure that your site meets the Terms & Conditions as set out on these pages, before you submit your site. Back to the top How can I increase the ranking and/or searchability of my site? The searchability of a site is to a large extent influenced by its meta tags. These are tags contained in the <head> section of a site's HTML coding and consists of a title, meta keywords and a meta description describing the contents of the site. For guidelines on adding meta tags, click here. When being indexed by our spider (search engine indexing technology), a complex algorithm is used to determine your site's ranking based on the meta tags and (to a lesser degree) the body text on the page. Overall, sites using frames are also more difficult to index, meaning that its ranking might actually be lower than a site using tables (for example). So if you are using frames, perhaps consider changing it to tables or click here for tips on optimising framed sites. Furthermore, you should also continuously monitor the ranking of any sites which are in competition to yours. If these sites get a better ranking than yours, have a look at their meta tags and consider modifying yours accordingly / in a similar manner.

Back to the top What are meta tags and how do I add them to my site? The description, listing and ranking of sites in the Ananzi search engine is determined by a complex algorithm which gathers information from the following tags on your site, e.g. title, meta tags, body text, etc. Meta tags should be placed in the <head> section of a site's front page and normally consist of a title, meta description and meta keywords. These are used to describe the content found on the site. It is advisable not to repeat the same word more than twice within each of the above-mentioned tags, as most search engines has a buildt-in spamming detection feature. Should you repeat the same word too often, it might negatively influence your ranking in search engines. The "title" tag contains the name or title of your web site, while the "description" meta tag contains a short description of your site. These two tags are important due to the fact that their content are extracted to form the name and summary of your site as displayed in the search results page. The "keywords" meta tag should be used to include keywords that are relevant to your site and which in turn, will enable your site to be searchable. Beware not to use more than 100 words in this tag, as this will also be seen as spamming, which might in turn result in a negative ranking. Use the example below to help set up your meta tags:
Note: If you are using frames on your site, make sure to add the meta tags to the container (frameset) page. Should you not want to include meta tags in your site, Ananzi's technology will automatically create a "smart summary" which will extract plain text from your site. Additional information on optimising your site for search engines and improving your site's ranking is available from Search Engine Watch.
