How to Add My Web Page to Dogpile
Web searches are effectively carried out using Dogpile because this metasearch tool checks with Ask.com, Bing, Google and Yahoo! to provide users with a comprehensive page of results. Because of this, you must be sure that these other search engines can find your web page so that Dogpile can locate your URL during a query. By using a combination of methods, you can add your own web page to Dogpile and ensure that your web address is included in a results page.
