Now that you have your site up and running, it's
time to start getting people to the site. The first step is to register
your site with popular search engines. Once you have done this,
the search engines will "crawl" your pages, looking at
the content and adding it to their indexes.
You have several options:
You can visit each of the major search engines (yahoo, google,
msn, dmoz, dogpile, etc) yourself and submit your site. This works
well because it's free, but it can be time consuming, and you'll
miss some of the smaller, more targeted search engines and international
search engines
- It can take a while (up to several months) for your site to show
up in the major search engines after you've submitted it. If you
can't wait, some services (for example yahoo and msn) will let
you pay an extra fee for expedited listing.
- You can choose a service to register your site for you. This
automates much of the process, making it easier for you to get
your site listed. Some services will register with a few sites
for free and with additional sites for additional charge - they
may also include expedited listing with the service.
