1. Submit
your site directly to Search Engines & Directories
"Search engine submission" is the process of getting
your web site listed with search engines. Another term for
this is search engine registration. Getting listed
does not mean that you will necessarily rank well for particular
terms, however, It simply means that the search engine knows
your pages exists.
All major search engines have a submit URL form. You have
locate the form and submit your home page. Some of the popular
search engine’s add URL’s are listed below.
Some of the popular directory listings are given below.
- Yahoo Directory
Before submitting to Yahoo’s directory, first find
the appropriate category for your site. Go to Yahoo's
main page and to find the best category for your site.
Keep clicking down through the subcategories where you
think your site belongs, then click on the "suggest
a site" link at the bottom of the page and follow
the instructions
If you have a commercial site you have to pay $299 to
submit your site.
- Open Directory Project (DMOZ)
This works like Yahoo Directory. Identify the best
category for your site and follow the instructions

2. Let the Search Engines find your site on their own
Allowing the search engines to find your site on their own
is the easiest and stress free way to submit your site. Build
your site, optimize it. Make sure you link to other pages
on your site and create a site map.
3. Pay the Search Engines to index
your site
Paid listings generate revenue for search engines, which
in turn helps them to provide unpaid listing to other web
users for free.
- Paid Placement listings
Most major search engines carry paid placement listings,
where advertisers are guaranteed a high ranking, usually
in relation to desired key words. These paid listing
are usually differentiated and labeled as “paid
placements” to know that they are paid ads.
People refer to these paid ads in many ways such as “pay
for placement," "pay for performance," "CPC
listings" (for cost-per-click) and "PPC listings" (for
pay per click). The last two terms reflect that paid
listings are sold on a basis where advertisers pay
only when someone clicks their ad.
- Paid inclusions (Paid Submissions)
In paid inclusion, a site owner pays a fee in order
to have web pages included in a search engine's listings.
Does this mean that these sites get high rankings? Usually
the answer is No. Paid inclusion does not boost page
rankings.
