Submit your site to the Search Engines

Once you’ve set up your Web site with interesting and fresh content and have placed your affiliate links on your site, you can start marketing your site.

Good placements in the top search engines can dramatically increase the traffic to your Web site. To get the best results, you should submit your Web site to these major search engines manually so that they become aware of your Web site.

Here are some top Search Engines that offer free manual submission:

• Google (http://www.google.co.uk/addurl.html)
• AltaVista (http://addurl.altavista.com/addurl/new)
• Yahoo! (http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/info/include.html)
• AllTheWeb (http://www.alltheweb.com/add_url.php)

Each search engine has its own rules and their own way to rank sites. There is also a large range in how soon you can expect to see your site indexed. Your site may appear in the search engines index a few days after your submission or, it may take several months. Be patient and periodically resubmit your Web site if you find that it is not being indexed.

Also, be sure to use descriptive titles and descriptions full of important keywords when you submit your site to help improve your rankings.

Good luck.
