Many Australian websites do NOT have dot com dot au (.com.au) domain names, and consequentially "miss out" on a lot of good search results from major search engines.
NoDotAu Aussie Search is designed to bridge the gap between Australian hosted Dot Com (.com) sites, and the search engine preferred Dot Com Dot Au (.com.au) search terms.
As a search engine, NoDotAu can represent your site to major search engines as an Australian local content site.
Also, by bridging shared links between listed sites in the NoDotAu database, major Search Engines realize these shared links as incoming references to your site, and your "page ranking" should increase accordingly.
It is very important to ensure that you provide an exact title for your site, and that the description is accurately reflecting your site content.
Last but not least, try to ensure that you list your site in the 2 most correct categories for your site's theme.
When you list your site on NoDotAu, we send our robot to index your site, exactly the same as the Google or Yahoo robots do.
The main difference being that NoDotAu presents it's database as a series of inter-linked content to the major search engines as well.
When the major Search Engine Bots index the NoDotAu site, they find a database full of up to date links and information, that they can readily absorb into their own database.
At the other end on the scale, entering a keyword into the NoDotAu search box will produce similar search results as you would find from Google or other major search engines.
While the NoDotAu Bot has the potential to index sites from all over the Internet, and to continue following links and index those linked sites, we have "tamed" NoDotAu down a little to concentrate on sites listed within Australia.
The concept being to maximise your sites exposure when Australian users are searching for local Australian goods, services or information!
Most Australians are aware of how frustrating a simple search for a "spare part" for their Ford Falcon will turn up 2 million references and links to Fords in the USA and other overseas countries.
That's not much help when you simply need a new radiator cap tomorrow!
NoDotAu is designed to overcome these issues and to provide links in AUSTRALIA first!
After you list your Australian site, it will be manually assessed and authenticated as being Australian content first, before it is submitted to the robot for indexing.
It can take a few weeks before your site is indexed, and the major search engines re-index the information from the NoDotAu database.
DO NOT LIST overseas dot com sites here.
If you list a NON Aussie site, NoDotAu will "unintentionally" present false content with fake links for your site, to the major search engines, and destroy what little page ranking you may have.
It will not help you if Google or Yahoo have you listed with 404 Page not Found links. You have been warned!
