Submitting a shorturl to search engines

External Since: Aug 11, 2003 Posts: 2

Is it true that if I submit the short url of my website to search engines
(eg http://kickme.to/ ) that it will fail to get spidered and therefore not
listed in the search engines?

Thanks.

If it uses frames, which is common with various of these 'domain' entries,
then it is unlikely to get properly spidered. If you can find an unused
domain name, you might be able to register it for as little as US$ 7 at
<http://www.hostway.com/> (I'm just a cutomer, not linked financially)
or with a .co.uk or .org.uk for about 7 pounds a year, with Nameroute,
which gives a small allocation (10 MB) of webspace, so no need for any
frames (but you can link graphics etc from your ISP account or wherever
the kickme.to/xxxxxx URL links to, for webpages etc. HTH.
