Teoma search engine
Submission information and search engine placement

Teoma is an important crawler-based search engine because it powers some of the results that appear in the popular AskJeeves search engine. In fact, AskJeeves bought Teoma and merged with DirectHit in early April 2002.

Teomo Search Results

Teoma gets its sponsored results from Google Adwords. It also sends out main or organic search results to AskJeeves as well as Directory listings to HotBot.

Teoma Submission and URL Listing

Unlike many other crawlers, Teoma has no free Add URL page, however, this doesn't mean that you can't get listed. Teoma crawls the web, so if you have links pointing to your web site, you may get included naturally.

Teoma uses crawling spider technology so that any submission will lead to a full site being indexed.

Teoma and AskJeeves Paid Inclusion is one and the same. Submission to AskJeeves Paid Inclusion Site Submit means your content will be easier to find throughout the entire Teoma search partner network, including sites such as:

• Ask.com
• Teoma.com
• Metacrawler
• Excite
• iLo
• MySearch.com
• MyWay.com
• Ixquick
• Mamma.com
• Hotbot.com
• Search123.com

Teoma Search Technology

Teoma technology measures the authority as well as the popularity of web sites, using Subject-Specific Popularity^SM to rank a website based on the number of same-subject pages in other ranked sites that link to it, not just general popularity (page count), in an attempt to measure a website's level of authority.

• Do not spam your page title and meta tags
• Have high quality content on your site
• Use industry appropriate keyword density
• Make sure your site is finished and optimized before submission

The thing to remember with Teoma and AskJeeves is to use keywords in the title and Meta tags, have high quality content, use high keyword density, and make sure your site is optimized before submission. As with most search engines, submission alone doesn't guarantee good positioning.

Teoma Internet Spam Policy

Many people use “unethical” search engine optimization techniques to try and deceive the search engines into giving them higher rankings. Internet Spam is a problem for most search engines, and Teoma is no different. Teoma is trying to deal with this problem by offering an email address you can contact if you find a site in their listings that is spam.
