Dynamic Submission2000

1. How does the program define a successful submission? You might wonder what we consider a successful submission. Most of the search engines and directories react differently. Some automatically add your page immediately when you submit it, some e-mail you a notification message, some put your submission data in a 'New Submission' queue, which may take from a day to a few weeks to be added - if ever. Some engines may request special conditions for adding your data to their sites, if your web site does not match their requirements, even if the submission process is successful,  your web site will still go nowhere. Dynamic Submission 2000 defines a successful submission as follows: if it is connected to the search engine or directory, and if the submission data is sent successfully and received a positive response code from the engine, then it is considered a successful submission. However, if Dynamic Submission 2000 cannot connect to the site, or the site returns an error message (or code) to Dynamic Submission 2000, it is considered a Failed Submission. 2. Why Submissions Fail? There are many reasons an engine submission might fail. It doesn't necessarily mean that the engine or directory is dead. Here are some possible reasons: Connection timeout - Timeout while attempting connection with Server. Perhaps the connection at the engine is bogged down, or there are too many users on the site at the moment. Solution:    change your timeout setting to a higher value. Submission timeout - Submission query has been sent but timed out waiting for server to respond. Solution:    change your timeout setting to a higher value. Failed to connect to site - Perhaps the site is temporarily down, or there is a problem somewhere between you and the site at the time you were submitting. Just try again later Failed submission - Perhaps the submission script or data format is changed by the site owner, and returns an error submission code. Site Moved or closed - Because change is constant,  site owners may change their addresses regularly, or the sites are no longer there. As a result Dynamic Submission 2000 cannot connect to it. Please inform Dynamic Software if you think any engine is dead. Because change is constant, we update our engine submission data files regularly. However, If you keep getting higher failed submission rates more than a few days, please updated the engine data files by clicking  on the "File/Update Engine Data File" menu item and try again. If you have tried it several times over the course of a week, please let us know using the 'Dead Engine' report on our web site and we will check it out or remove it from our index. 3. How many Search Engines will Submission 2000 post my Web site details to ? The demo version of Dynamic Submission 2000 will submit to a random selection of 10 Search Engines, and will remain functional for 30 days. After this period you need to register your software. You will then be able to submit to more than 1000+ Engines, and all program features are then fully enabled. 4. When I try to register I get an error message saying that my registration code is invalid. If you receive a message informing you that your register code is either invalid, or cannot be verified, please take the following steps before contacting our technical support section. Check that your register code is entered correctly with no spaces. Try to obtain a connection to the Submission 2000 server. Although our server is active over 99% of the time, occasionally it may go down, or we could be updating the database. Make sure you have a valid internet connection before pressing the 'submit' button. 5. How do you select suitable Search Engines for the program ? We add search engines on a recommendation basis. If there is a search engine you would like to see added to Submission 2000 then let us know using our feedback form. 6. Are you going to release a version of Submission 2000 for the Mac computer ? Sorry, we have no immediate plans to launch a Mac version of Submission 2000. However a Windows 95 emulation program called 'SoftWindow' for Mac exists. This software will allow a Mac user to run any 'pc' based application on a Mac terminal. 7. Why doesn't Submission 2000 successfully submit to all the sites I have selected ? Dynamic Submission 2000 has a built in time-out feature to stop it 'hanging around' for a reply from engines that are simply too busy to process your submissions, or are off-line or not accepting submissions at the time you make your submission. Try the site next time you use Submission 2000. If you find the site is not responding or 'hanging' on a regular basis please let us know so that we can check the site concerned. 8. How often do I need to update my Engine Data file ? We recommend that you update your Search Engine data immediately after program installation and thereafter fortnightly. Update your Data by clicking on 'File' and then 'Update Engine Data' from the main program screen. 9. When I use the program it seems to work for a number of sites (usually around 200) and then it just stops at certain search engines. I have to click 'pause' and then 'continue' to resume submissions. Any ideas? Nothing works perfectly on the Internet ! Occasionally net traffic can be extremely heavy or the connection to a particular Search Engine's server may be too slow or not responding. Engines can also change their submission scripts without warning - although we check these on a regular basis and update our 'engine database' as necessary. For these reasons we cannot guarantee that all submissions will be done 100% automatically. Normally, these problems only occur when internet connections are too slow and when traffic is too heavy. You need to find the best time for your submission. When this problem happens to you, simply click on the 'Pause' button and then 'Continue', or just click the 'Skip' button to move to the next one. If the 'Pause' or 'Skip' button does not work, just close the program and re-start your submission, deleting any previously submitted engines before proceeding. 10. I have problems updating the engine data file from the program, it connects to the web server and then it just sits there and does nothing ? If you have problems updating the engine data file from the program, please simply click here to download the engine data installation program "ds2eng.exe" and double click on the file "ds2eng.exe" to install the engine data file to your PC, then re- start Dynamic Submission 2000. 1. Why does my position on Search Engines constantly change? The criteria used by Search Engines for ranking Web sites is based on so many variables that it is almost impossible to precisely predict where your site will be positioned from one day to the next. Such factors include: the number of other pages (sites) using similar 'keywords', constantly changing listing criteria (algorithms) used by Search Engines and many other factors. This is why it is important to regularly submit your Web site details to every Search Engine and Web directory using a submission program like Dynamic Submission 2000, and then to check its effectiveness with Dynamic Web Ranking. Working hand in hand they will provide the tools to ensure prominent exposure for your Web site on all those important Web resources. 2. How can Dynamic WebRanking help me improve my site's position? Regular submission to Web sites coupled with regular position analysis provides the necessary ammunition to improving your positioning. Having decided on specific keywords that are important for your particular Web site, it is then possible to check how well your site ranks under those chosen keywords. It is then possible to adjust keyword selection and accurately gauge the results of this by using Dynamic Web Ranking. It is also possible to easily find out how a similar business ranks in comparison to yours, and to take steps to correct the situation if this is warranted. 3. How do Search Engines work? Search Engines work by 'spidering' the Web and indexing all the Web pages it finds under specific heading or 'keywords'. When someone goes to a Search Engine and enters specific 'keywords' every page relevant to those 'keywords' is listed in order of importance. The idea is to ensure that your Web site comes out near the top for critical keywords related to your product or service. The use of Dynamic Submission 2000 and WebRanking goes a long way to achieving these goals.
