So here are the simple and straight forward steps to optimising your website and listing on Ananzi.
Remember though that doing this will also help you with all the search engines as well!
(Note: the first 9 steps relate to changing the html of your home page - if you don't know what I'm talking about then please forward this to your web designer and ask him to do it)
- Write down 20 keywords or keyword phrases that you think describes your product / service
(i.e. 1. Web Hosting 2. Domain Registration 3. Web Design ... etc etc) - Now get rid of all the capitals (i.e. 1. web hosting 2. domain registration 3. web design ... etc)
- Add the keywords 'south africa' to your lists (i.e. 1. web hosting 2. south africa 3. domain registration ... etc)
- Type two lists
- One with no commas seperating all your keywords (web hosting south africa domain registration etc)
- The other with commas seperating your keywords. (web hosting,south africa,domain registration,etc)
- Open your front page of your site in your HTML editor
- Add name of your company/website and the list without commas to your <title></title> tags in your page (i.e. <title>Afrihost.com - web hosting south africa domain registration etc</title>)
- Add the same to your meta description tags (i.e. <meta name="description" content="Afrihost.com - web hosting south africa domain registration etc"> )
- Add your company / website name and your list with the commas to your meta keyword tags ( <meta name="keywords" content="afrihost,web hosting,south africa,domain registration,etc"> )
- Save and upload your changes to your website
- Go to www.ananzi.co.za and click on the link at the bottom of the page that says: "Add your site to Ananzi"
- Agree to the terms and conditions, click 'continue' to pass the description of the Meta Tags and click 'submit' if your site is South African.
Choose your category and Sub-category - Fill in the applicable details and submit your site
They will let you know in about a week whether your site has been accepted and it usually takes about 4 days after that.
And there it is - the 1-2-3 of getting listed on Ananzi - now you don't have to mumble next time asks you about search engines - at least you are guaranteed of being on at least one! The submission process for the other search engines are pretty similar (if you are one of our clients you can submit to multiple search engines simultaneously on your Control Panel - If you need help give our Client Service guys a call on 011 234 5045 or drop them an email on support@afrihost.com and they will sort you out :) )
