Site information is used mainly by search engines when they spider your site. A spider, or webcrawler, is a program that automatically finds Web pages. It's called a spider because it crawls over the Web. When a spider identifies a link to a page, it captures the site information. If a user specifies one or more of your keywords as search criteria, the search engine will return your site description in the search results reported to the user.
Enter a site name, a short description of your site, and a list of keywords in the fields below. If a webcrawler locates your web site, it captures your site information, and uses your own description and keywords to index your page in the search engine database.

NOTE: Entering this information does not register your site with a search engine. |
Enter keywords in the Keywords field. Use a comma to separate keywords or phrases. If people tend to misspell one of your keywords, consider adding the misspelled word to your keyword list.
Do not duplicate your keywords, as some search engines may downgrade or remove reference to your site from their database. For example, if you repeat yourself by using the same or similar keywords, like "apple,apples,apple juice", the search engine may interpret it as a spamming tactic and place you somewhere near the bottom of the list.
Enter the site name in the Site Name field. Your site name must be 64 characters or less.
Enter the site name in the Description field. Keep your description short, but complete, and include some of your keywords within the text.
