Free
Search Engine Listings
Is it possible to get in
the major search engines
without paying fees? The
answer is yes to most, but it
might take some time and
effort. There are four
major search engines that
we'll discuss, Google, Yahoo!,
MSN, and Ask Jeeves.
There are two ways to get
in Google. The least effective
way is to submit via their
addurl page. The
best way is to get another
website to link to yours.
If the website linking to you
has high page rank, Google
will pick up the link to your
site quite quickly.
Yahoo! also has free
submit. Yahoo! cautions to
expect a delay of several
weeks before the site is
crawled. Yahoo! can also
find sites by incoming links
and offers fast inclusion for
a fee. However, this fast fee
based inclusion does not imply
good search results.
MSN does not currently
offer a free submit.
However, MSN will eventually
pick up sites that are linked
to.
Ask Jeeves also does not
have a free submit page but
will find sites via links from
other sites.
The key to getting free
search engine listings is
finding quality sites and
directories to link to your
site. A free listing in
The Open Directory can
really speed things along.
If your site is related to
search engine optimization or
web design, please submit to
our
SEO directory.
Once you're in the search
engine, you're not done yet.
You've still got to optimize
your site so that the right
keywords find you.
