If I add my web site to a search engine, will I get more visitors to the site? |

Possibly, but not necessarily. There are literally millions of sites on the World Wide Web, and several billion web pages! Search engines attempt to index as many sites as possible, but generally only cover a small percentage of what's out there. Even so, a search for "books for sale" on Google returns over 3 million pages that match this search phrase! When a user performs a search, he or she will generally only look at the first 3 or 4 pages of web sites that are returned (usually the first 20 to 40 web sites). If your Web site does not show up in the first 4 pages for a particular search word or phrase, then you might as well be invisible.
