Search Engine Tips - Submit your
website correctly to the FREE search engines and directories. NOTE: It
is best to have your website optimized prior to submitting.
It is probable that 80% or more of your site traffic will be generated
from the likes of Google,
Yahoo,
MSN and
AOL. You’ve spent hours
creating the perfect website, crafting content and optimizing for the
search engines. Don’t use automated submissions or software for
submitting your website(s) to the top search engines and directories.
It’s not worth the risk.
For example, when submitting to the
Open Directory you must precisely
select the category into which your site fits. A simple software
program will lack the flexibility to achieve such precision. Also,
search portals like AltaVista have included submission features to
prevent automated submissions.
Think DIY (Do It Yourself)!

What is an "FFA"?

anyone can place an advertisement to their website in the form of a link for
absolutely free. Google's [Currently the largest search engine]

in and old links out. They have little use in search engine optimization and
provide minimal traffic. These are BAD neighborhoods. AVOID THEM!
