Ranking Setup
In order to automatically track your websites progress in the search engines, you need to tell AddWeb 6 the keywords and URLs that are important to you.
Keywords to Rank With
This list tells AddWeb 6 which keywords are important to you with regards to checking how well you rank on a specific search engine with them. These keywords will be used in Profile Ranking options and scheduled rankings. These words are imported directly from your keywords listed in the Website Info section.
Standard Add/Remove/Clear buttons are included here in order to easily manage this list.
URL To Search For
This is the exact URL to search for when a Ranking is performed. It is suggested that you do not use the HTTP:// and even the WWW. in this field as it will restrict results for your URL and possibly exclude results for some search engines. Including the sub-directories (../products/goodstuff/index.html) of your website will also restrict listings, but may be preferred if you wish to narrow your Ranking results. AddWeb populates this field automatically when creating a new profile with the URL you are promoting.
Unique Text
Unique Text is a portion of your title or text that appears early in your description that is unique to your website or web page. This is tied in directly to the URL to search for and is required for some of the Ranking operations. Some search engines do not allow for some of the advanced methods of searching and substitute more specific word searches for these options.
Engines to Rank On
This is a list of all engines currently available for ranking. Checking the box next to the engine will include it in the Profile Ranking for the Profile you are currently working with. Likewise de-selecting a check box will exclude the engine from a Profile Ranking.
Search Depth
How many results do you want to see from each search engine when running a Ranking? This is that number. Keep in mind that the deeper you go, the more resources will be used on your computer. However, deeper results will allow some people to better track their website's position in the search engines indices over time.
