Search engines are the number one way that people find websites. Almost 95% of all Internet searches, made by people on the web, start with a search engine. Placement in these major search engines allows millions of people to find your listing and then drives them to your site. Many don't realize that unless their site is actually submitted to the search engines, there is no way they will be listed in any of them. The search engines won't simply reach out and find sites that weren't previously submitted to them.
Search engines have different means of qualifying a site for submission on their search pages. Most search engines read "meta tags". Meta tags are information inserted into the unseen "head" area of your web pages. Many of the major search engines won't list sites that don't have meta tags. They identify and describe your site for the search engines and this ID and description is what people see when searching for your related search terms. Also the meta tags must be formatted correctly or the website still will not qualify for submission. Another function of the meta tags is to communicate information to search engines and browsers that will not be seen by the human eye. This information is used to identify certain page layouts, the author of the page and whether the page contains adult content.
Other search engines simply read the title and text on web pages in order to display the information in their search results. The "home" page of a site must have a proper title and an accurate description of what the site has to offer.
