Submitting your URL
Although the large
search indexes do search the web automatically for ages to add to
their index, they can only do this by following links from page to
page. If your site is new, or obscure, or simply not very well
known, there may be few, if any, inbound links from other sites. To
ensure that you appear in these search services, it is therefore
essential that you take the initiative and actively submit your site
for indexing and inclusion.
What’s New/Cool
Submit your URL to the
various What’s New and What’s Cool listings. Featuring on one of
these can dramatically increase the visitor rate, although
submission does not guarantee inclusion.
Submitting Services
These services will do
the submitting for you, with varying effectiveness. However one of
the main drawbacks to the free automated tools is that they rarely
take account of differences between the different requirements of
the search engines.
