Frequently asked questions about IBP

What exactly is IBP?
IBP (Internet Business Promoter) is a collection of ten professional web site promotion tools that help you to get more customers and more sales with high rankings on search engines.
Search engine users are some of the most qualified and motivated visitors to your web site. After all, those visitors have taken the initiative to hunt for online resources for a certain topic and clicked your link to learn more.
However, getting listed in a search engine isn't effective if you're number 415 of 1,259,000 search results. Surprisingly, a search engine listing doesn't even help you much if you're result number 11. Most search engines display ten results on the first page; and very few searchers click the links to look at the second page.
Usability expert Jakob Nielsen points out: "Users almost never look beyond the second page of search results." Danny Sullivan, ClickZ Search Engine Marketing Columnist, puts it out this way: "Being listed 11 or beyond means that many people may miss your web site."
With IBP, your web site gets the best possible search engine rankings and you'll benefit from more visitors, more customers, and more sales!

How does IBP compare to other web site promotion tools?
We call IBP the "next generation web site promotion tool" because it offers many features that other tools are sorely lacking:
- Most other submission tools access search engines directly; or they simulate a web browser to submit your web site and check your search engine rankings. Search engines can identify these browser simulations and don't accept these submissions or often ban them.
For this reason, IBP uses invisible Microsoft® Internet Explorer® windows to submit your web site. The search engines are visited with a standard web browser.
IBP goes to the submission page, fills out the form, waits a moment, and clicks the Submit buttonthe exact same process as submitting your web site manually. In addition, you can also use the semi-automatic feature to submit your web site quickly and easily to all search engines, directories, and industry-specific sites.

- More and more search engines now require a validation code. On the submission page, the search engines display a picture with a letter/number combination that automated submission tools cannot recognize so that they cannot submit to those search engines.

IBP can submit to these search engines. In contrast to other tools and in addition to the IBP automatic submission feature, IBP offers an intelligent semiautomatic submission feature: the software enters information into the submission form as much as possible; you simply enter the validation code and click the Submit button. Finally, you can save a lot of time when submitting to many search engines.
- The semiautomatic submission feature allows you to submit to Internet directories, such as Yahoo Directory, LookSmart, Open Directory Project, and even special interest sites. Other tools cannot submit to these directories and special interest sites.
- As the next generation tool, IBP goes one step further than other web page optimization tools: IBP offers you real-time analysis of the top ten search engine results in more than 75 aspects.
Suppose you want to know how to get a top ten ranking for the search term "outdoor equipment" on Inktomi. IBP tells you how to optimize your web site for exactly that search term on Inktomi.
The advice is based on the in-depth analysis of the current, up-to-the-minute top 10 results on Inktomi for that search term. The advice is specifically for that search term and specifically for Inktomi.
When a search engine changes its ranking algorithm, IBP allows you to immediately optimize your web pages for the new algorithm.
The IBP high quality analysis results are always up to date, specific and accurate. You won't get that kind of accuracy for search engine optimization with any other tool.
- There are many other features where IBP really shines. For example, IBP creates PDF, HTML, and Microsoft® Word® reports, which you can customize, personalize, and sell to your clients. You can also export ranking results and keyword lists to databases and Microsoft® Excel® format.
- We've put a lot of thought in the design of the IBP user interface. IBP is very easy to use. Just try the free demo version.

Why shouldn't I use a free submission service or tool that submits my site to 5000+ search engines?
Free search engine submission services don't work anymore. Search engines receive a large amount of spam from these free submission sitesas a result, most search engines now block the IP address of these free online submission services.
To submit your web site with a free search engine submission service is pointless. In addition, free services offer a very limited and often outdated choice of search engines.
Some search engine submission software tools claim that they submit your web site to 5000+ search engines. The majority of these 5000+ so called search engines are free links for all pages, very special interest web pages or, even worse, web sites masquerading as search engines.
Submitting your web page to these 5000+ search engines means that you'll receive 5000+ spam email messages. Quality matters so much more than quantity. IBP focuses on the most important search engines that really deliver visitors to your web site.
IBP does much more than just submitting your web site to search engines. IBP helps you to optimize your pages for top 10 rankings and the software also allows you to track the results. Just Download the IBP demo version now and see for yourself.

Can IBP guarantee a top 10 search engine ranking?
IBP uses the search engine optimization method that has proven to work best.
The method analyzes the web pages that currently have a high ranking for your important keyword. As these pages have a top ten ranking, the pages have effective design and wording for search engine optimization. IBP tells you how each page achieved that ranking and how you must change your web pages to obtain a similar ranking.
No web site promotion software tool or search engine placement service can actually guarantee a top 10 search engine ranking. However, if you follow the advice of the IBP Top 10 Optimizer, then your web site is more likely to achieve a search engine ranking in the top 10.
IBP helps you to optimize your web pages so that they get the best possible rankings.

Is IBP a search engine friendly web site promotion software tool?
Yes, IBP is a search engine friendly web site promotion software tool. It doesn't call search engine scripts directly and it uses a real web browser to access search engines. Some people are concerned that IBP can make automated queries to Google and that Google doesn't like automated queries. Please keep in mind that you can always choose whether you want IBP to use Google.
If you don't want to use Google, you can choose any other search engine that is powered by Google and that delivers the same results, such as AOL Search, HotBot, and iWon. We advise you to check the terms and conditions of any search engine that you're going to use.
Here are the facts about IBP:
IBP is a search engine friendly web site promotion software tool. It causes as little traffic as possible for the search engines. Often, IBP causes even less traffic than the average surfer performing the same task.
- IBP queries search engine result pages with 100 results at a time, if possible. That means that, for every query IBP makes on a search engine, IBP gets a list of 100 web pages in return.
That way, IBP causes even less traffic than the average Internet user who only sees ten web site results at a time.
- IBP uses an invisible copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer to query the search engines. IBP starts at the home page, enters your search term, waits a moment, and then clicks the Search button, just as you do. IBP doesn't emulate a web browser: it uses a real web browser.
That way, a search engine cannot determine whether a real person or IBP is performing a query. We do this to ensure that IBP gets the same results as a human web surfer.
- When you use an automated tool, the search engines know only the IP address of your current connection. If you use a dial-up connection, the IP address changes on every connection. Search engines cannot trace back which IP address of your Internet connection belongs to which web site. The only exception is when your desktop computer is your server.
If that was possible, everybody could harm their competitors by using automated tools to query for the competitor site repeatedly. Google has stated in the past that no offsite factors can harm your rankings.
- IBP warns you if you're about to submit your web site to search engines that don't allow the submission of your web page. For example, some search engines require your web site to be in a special language; or they only accept web pages from certain countries. IBP knows the exact submission rules of every search engine.
In summary, IBP causes very little traffic on search engine servers. IBP cannot be distinguished from a human web surfer. Assigning a special web site to a surfer's IP address is not possible. On top of that, you're free to use any search engine with IBP or no search engine at all.
