Submit Your Website to Search Engines
Some search engine submissions are free and some pay for this benefit but before I get into it I would like to place a little word of warning. There will be some places that will offer to submit your website to hundreds or even thousands of search engines for free. Avoid these at all costs! I know I know they are tempting, thoughts stray to "woohoooo now I can do it in one push of the button". Problem is this, when you submit your website to these programs they use a script to send out your url and most search engines these days have equipment in place to pick up when these scripts send your url to them. It's considered spam and once the search engines put your website in their "spam" pile they won't add your website, possibly never! The best way is to submit your website to search engines manually yourself. Here are a few websites to get you started that you can submit to for free: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl You can also pay someone to manually submit your website to search engines, but don't expect this to be cheap. If someone is offering to do it for $30 - $50 I would recommend avoiding it, chances are they're using a script to submit it. For proper submission and search engine optimization you are generally looking at paying around $600 - $1,000 to get someone to do this for you. To get listed in yahoo it usually costs around $300 for businesses. Yahoo will list personal sites that aren't business related for free. © Joanne King - http://www.joesy.com Get your Free book on "Affiliate Marketing ?

When I first began promoting my web sites I was, like most people, only thinking in terms of one web address, the url of my main page.

Googled The Internet may have started as the fervent brainchild of DARPA, the US defence agency - but it quickly evolved into a network of computers at the service of a community. Academics around the world used it to communicate, compare results, compute, interact and flame each other. The ethos of the community as content-creator, source of information, fount of emotional sustenance, peer group, and social substitute is well embedded in the very fabric of the Net. Millions of members in free, advertising or subscription financed, mega-sites such as Geocities, AOL, Yahoo and Tripod generate more bits and bytes than the rest of the Internet combined. This traffic emanates from discussion groups, announcement (mailing) lists, newsgroups, and content sites (such as Suite101 and Webseed).
