I run an online business and am trying to maintain my front page Google and Yahoo search results. My website is not updated often and I’m slipping to the second pages. Do search engines pay any attention to how old web pages are (via sitemap.xml dates) and give priority to newer or more frequently updated web pages?

Thanks.
Please provide details and any links that are available.

I want to know what search engines or B2B website ,by which the buyer or the importer,wholesaler to find the suppliers from local or oversea?

I work for a small company and our web site is ranked very low in the search engines. The problem is that we are in the very competitive software business. I was wondering if anyone knew any sites to get me started on Search Engine Optimization. I know the basics, and could use a lot of help. Thanks so much.

I’ve added my website to a bunch of search engines. I’ve created a meta tag and placed it on my main page. When I go to search for my website, or even my keywords, my website is not showing up. What am I doing wrong? Is there something else I should be doing?

What is the code for calculating time required to get some page in html or asp or jsp (or any other supported in browsing)?

This similar thing is used by search engines to find the time required to search the pages accordingly.

I need the time in smallest unit. (like 0.0XX seconds)
