A word from our Webmaster about Meta Tags and Search Engine Traffic!
Hi. My name is Ray Pasnen. I design websites. You might call it a hobby that pays for itself. This is what I have done for years and I am finally getting quite good at it. I have realized that a "good" website needs to not only look great, but, it must attract a lot of traffic. I think I'm doing OK. Hey, you found this website, right?
In the designing of this [Myth and Mystery] and 100 other websites, I have garnered a huge variety of information and strategies for higher search engine placement. There are a lot of places on the net who promise to get your site included into thousands of search engines. They charge between $49-$250 for their "service". Please don't do this. You are wasting money that you could be using for your next album. Don't listen to these "making a quick buck for nothing" sites. These guys are literally getting paid for nothing AND, its wasted anyway if your meta tags are not "search engine friendly."
There are only about 15-20 engines and indexes where you need to be listed. These are (Engines) Aeiwi, Alexa, AllTheWeb, AltaVista, AOL Search, Anzwers, DirectHit, Excite, Google, HotBot, Inktomi, Kanoodle, Lycos, MasterSite, National Directory, Northern Light, Overture.com, SearchHippo, SearchIt, Subjex, WebsMostLinked, WebTop, WiseNut, What-U-Seek, (Indexes) About.com, Ask.com, Jayde, JoeAnt.com, GoGuides.org, LookSmart, MSN Search Index, Open Directory Project, Rex, TurnPike, Yahoo. Though all others aren't unimportant, they usually get their listings from one of the above search engines/indexes.
Most independent websites (most websites in general, really) are ill prepared for listing in these engines and indexes. You MUST have GOOD META TAGS! For instance, I see a lot of <title> tags that have the name spelled like this, "mythandmystery". This is not good, for a lot of reasons which I won't get into now. (I do get into it here.) And, this example is just 10% of what I'm talking about. 50% of the sites listed in this index will find that they are listed below us in other search engines. This is because we fix your tags before we add them to our directory. Thereby making your listing on our site more valuable to search engines than your whole website! Let us make your site "Search Engine Friendly."
I'll take a look at your meta tags for free. Email me below and I'll let you know what, if anything, is wrong with them.
Email me - bandbseek@hotmail.com. I'll check your meta tags and maybe make some suggestions about your textual content. (Textual content really matters to Search Engines, too.)
It has taken me 3 years to realize that this is something that you really need. Don't let others take $50-$250 from you. It will be wasted without these meta tags!
