OT sort of, search engine question
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and you are all home
safe and sound with full bellies! I have a question about search engines and don't have a clue as to where to begin to find the answers. Can anyone give me some ideas as to where to find info on how to get signed up with search engines, preferably the free ones? I've done searches on Google, but got so confused I finally gave up. Any suggestions on how to begin this quest would be most appreciated. Thanks everyone. Carlinda |

This might help. I got it off of Geocities (yahoo)
Basics of site promotion: Get Listed - Most Internet users find the sites that they are looking for through the use of search engines or directories. So to help users find your site, you should try to get it listed in search engines. Tell Everyone - "Word of mouth" can never be overrated, especially on the Internet. Tell friends, family, anyone and everyone about your site. Add Links - A very common way for Internet users to find a site is by following links from another page. By having other sites link to yours, you will undoubtedly increase traffic to your site. Sites will be more likely to link to you if you offer quality content and you also link to related sites. Also, look into webrings. They show people similar sites to yours. You're looking for a target audience that is looking for what you've got. If you've got a yahoo account, go to www.geocities.com and sign in using your yahoo ID. Then look at site promotion. There's services you can pay for, but I can't see why. The new thinking now is that meta tags are useless. I added them, just in case. But then the point is that I could be lying to you. I've seen people do it, and it ticks me off. I've heard that using them is dead, but they could be wrong. You can find my site on google using a search for El Paso Quilter's association. And it's only been up a month or so.

Yes, I want my site listed. I've had my site up for awhile, but only my
personal contacts know about it, and I need more exposure than that. Carlinda "Mystified One" wrote in message ... signed up as in how? Do you want your site listed? |

Carlinda -
I maintain the website for my EGA region. We do NOT pay anyone to list us. Google picked us up almost right away - after I out the word out to my fellow members that I was making updates. You get ranked by hits so talk it up girl! It's free - save your money for beads. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Carlinda" wrote in message ink.net...

ink.net... snip Can anyone give me some ideas as to where to find info on how to get signed up with search engines, preferably the free ones? /snip Hi Carlinda, Go he http://free-submissions-to-search-engines.com/ There are over a hundred search engine submission links here. Just follow the instructions for each search engine and you'll be good to go. You'll have to do each search engine manually - most do not like auto/mass submissions. Some will ask you for a return email address to verify the site and your email before they will include you. HTH Best, Deborah |
