Excite Indexing Triggers

Overview: Learn how to assess your website indexing with search engines

Many search engines have enabled webmaster support such that website owners can easily confirm that their webpages are registered in their catalogs. Below, we demonstrate which trigger words search engines recognize, sample usage and other tips and tricks to determining if your website is currently listed in their indexes. In addition, we added a direct form such that you may perform a query directly from this page.

Excite Triggers

Search Engine:	Excite (Read Our Submission Tips)
URL:	http://www.excite.com (New Window Opens)
Special Trigger(s):	http://search.excite.com/search.gw?sort=site&s=WWW.YOURDOMAIN.COM
Explanation:	This trigger will indicate to the search engine that only pages indexed within the catalog that lie on yourdomain.com should be returned. Excite will return to you a list of pages (maximum of 30) that lie on yourdomain.com that exist within the Excite catalog. The syntax for this command is the trigger name "sort=site&s=" plus your domain name. Please see the example below for additional help.
Tips and Tricks:	Excite sometimes has trouble telling the difference between a domain with and without the "www" in front of the domain name. Although there is no real fix around this, we suggest performing a search twice, once with www.yourdomain.com and again with just yourdomain.com. Note: This tip will only return a maximum of 30 web pages contained on yourdomain.com. Simply entering yourdomain.com (or www.yourdomain.com) into Excite's search field will return all matches, but also matches which do not lie on your website.
Example:	http://search.excite.com/search.gw?sort=site&s=submitcorner.com (View Result) and http://search.excite.com/search.gw?sort=site&s=www.submitcorner.com (View Result)
Try Your Site:	Check out which pages are indexed of your web site in this search engine. Enter your domain name in the box below and we'll display your results right away. Notice: For best results, enter your domain name only such as www.submitcorner.com or submitcorner.com. Not all search engines accept a full URL to specific pages on your site.
Assessment Tools:	Use our Assessment Tools and we'll query any search engine for you with a single click. Easily track down if your indexed, who's linking to you and who are your competitors from one consolidated form.
