If you want to guarantee that your page gets included in SightQuest, visit our Site Submit Page.

How often does SightQuest refresh its database or crawl the Web?

SightQuest's database indexes website submissions immediately after they are accepted into our database. After your website is added to the appropriate category it is immediately available to website visitors through our directory and through our search option.

How can I find out whether my site has been indexed?

If your site has a title of "Infinity Hosting", for example, a search for that exact entry should show that website indexed in our database and the category that it is listed.

What happens if I make a spelling mistake when I submit my site?

After checking your website in our index, please email us with any corrected information and it will be changed within 2-4 business days. You do not need to resubmit your site URL, description, and/or title again after it has been already accepted. Multiple submissions may result in your website getting permanently removed from our database.

How does SightQuest know when I change or remove my web site?

SightQuest crawls its own database of websites periodically to check for websites that may be down or no longer being hosted. When we crawl or revisit your website, and it is down, we will not delete it at that point. We will detect possible changes, and whether pages have been removed. Your website will only be removed after the second attempt to access it, approximately one week later if it is not in operation.

Why is my site no longer in your index?

There is no general answer to that. Pages may be removed from the index for various reasons like .e.g. unavailable pages when our crawler visited your site the second time. Also, we continuously strive to improve the quality of the SightQuest index. As a part of this quality improvement, we remove content we regard as spam, warez, or Free for All (FFA) link pages which display only banners or lean towards negative or racist content.

What technology is behind SightQuest Web Search?

Currently, SightQuest Web Search is using its own proprietary search technology.

Can I add SightQuest Web Search to my page?

At this time we are not letting advertisers use our "web search box" to their website. We will be making this change in the coming months when we release our new SightQuest search technology platform. To add a link back to SightQuest from your website, please visit our Submission page for easy instructions on how to do this.
