1. Keep detailed notes on when you submitted each page and to what search engines you submitted to. Also note when you're at the search engine how long their current wait time is to index a site. That way, if AltaVista states that they index pages within 2-4 days and doesn't, you can resubmit a few days after the time period if your pages don't show up in the listings. Staying on top of situations can reduce the time to get listed on problematic searc engines. It's not unusual to go months without ever getting listed on certain search engines.

2. Resubmit and/or send an e-mail if you don't get listed in the expected amount of time. Some sites require that you send them an e-mail to resubmit a page. Other sites prefer to have you resubmit the page. Review each search engine's rules and requirements.

3. The best thing you can do is to minimize the work it takes to monitor these problems by using a tool such as The Search Engines Solution. It knows all about the search engines and handles all the duties required to successfully manage the submissions of your doorway pages. It also tracks your website's position in the major search engines daily and acts accordingly automatically!
