Getting website listed on search engines

There are software packages that will do it for you. There is also, companies that does it. Every Web Serach Engine Homepage has a link for people to register Web pages. Go to www.zdnet.com and put in the search box, search engine submission and you will get a load of freeware, shareware and software for multiple submission.

Good luck!

Even with free and shareware proggies I've known this process take months. uk2.net have an online engine which will cover a large number of search engines all in one hit - but you will still have to wait.

You can boost yourself to the top of thelist in the search engines by listing your keywords hundreds of times in the index page. Visit www.bettermethods.co.uk, view the source and check out the

They have tips trick and advice for getting listed with the different search engines, and then ways to make your placement more valuable.

Good Luck

Well, aside from the suggestions previously made regarding software packages and repeated keywords in the text, it is always good practise to make your keywords into "key phrases" of two to four words. These phrases should be researched and should represent the likely combination of words that someone uses to search for a site.

Furthermore, creating invisible links to all your other pages will help your site get deep-promoted and visiting spiders will have an easier time indexing all your pages. Create a 1 pixel by 1 pixel transparent GIF and then create links to each page you wish to index somewhere "out of sight" on the index page.

It is always good to have the site checked before sending to search engines for indexing. Engines like Yahoo and Lycos have been known to "throw out" sites simply for improper or unnecessary HTML.

Go to netscape.com and underneath the netscape homepage, click on Add URL. Netscape has a Website Garage that you can park your homepage to more than 10 search engines for free including Excite and Lycos. Upon registering your site, some search engine will send you an email and some requires a reply email. Make sure that you reply to those email in order your site to be added into their list. About Yahoo, you have to physically go into their website and add it. I hope these will help you.

Good luck!

All these answers are fine. I liked registering with each search engine, personally.

But we don't care about JoesSearchEngine.com. We care about Yahoo, Excite, etc...

Here's how to get on these sites:

1. don't spam them with requests
2. get visitors
3. get links to your sites. The big boys will recognize you if many sites refer to your site.

If you want to pay to get on them, pay for advertisement space on sites you can afford. That will work.

Most of all, relax: you will get them eventually!

Best of luck!

Although it doesn't answer your question directly, it seems that you're trying to get your site noticed. The best ways to accomplish this are through link exchanges with complementary and competitive sites, advertising - there are many free ways to make that happen, establish yourself as an "expert" in your industry via newsgroups, forums, lists, etc., most of all if you want to be registered with Yahoo and other large directories and/or search engines, be patient. Spend some time researching their requirements and modify your site to include pages that meet those requirements. If you fill (spam) your keywords meta tag repetitively, many will through you out. You have to meet multiple requirements and tailor your site to their expectations.

Good luck.
