Active Search Results

Active Search Results is not really a conventional directory. It is a small search engine that allows website owners to submit a URL for crawling and possible inclusion in its own search results.

What’s included? ¶

The free submission provides:

• Submission of a website URL to the Active Search Results crawler
• An indication of when the submitted website may be indexed
• Potential inclusion within the Active Search Results search engine
• A dofollow backlink when the website appears in its search results

This is effectively a search-engine submission rather than a directory listing. There is no supplied evidence of a dedicated product profile, promotional placement or wider distribution.

What do you need to supply? ¶

Results ¶

The submission was free and straightforward, requiring only a website URL and email address. Active Search Results then provided an indication of when its crawler might index the submitted site.

Whilst touted as a directory submission location, the resulting Active Search Results search pages had not been indexed by either Google or Brave at the time of checking and are unlikely to ever be indexed. Based on the Google Index most of the indexing goes towards the long term content and not the search engine result pages.

Additionally after a few days Truly Digital nor Truly Analytics appeared in its own ASR index, potentially meaning that submissions aren’t activated.

Final verdict ¶

No activity found.

No activity found and hasn’t contributed to any major index or even to its own index. Not valid as a directory or a submission point based on what we can see.

Truly Analytics also recorded no events from activesearchresults.com. The submission therefore produced no measurable referral value during the reviewed period.

As the submission was free and required little information, there was limited downside to trying it and playing around with the search engine but this is not a route to traffic or backlinks and should not be advertised as such.

Truly Analytics ¶

Truly Analytics helps organisations understand who is visiting their website, what their real traffic looks like, where it came from, and which marketing and sales activity delivers genuine value.
