By using the five utilities above, you have submitted your
site to most of the search engines and indices. It may take
anywhere between three weeks to six months for your site to be
indexed.
6. Open Directory: Recently, when Netscape purchased NewHoo,
the Open Directory, I was quick to submit my site to be
included. The only complaint I have with the Open Directory
Project is that the editor in the category you are trying to
Inte"If you don't like the weather, just wait for 10 minutes"... This old saying which addresses the variability of the ..... submit your site to may be your competitor and may try to

others have recently adopted the Direct Hit search
technology. Getting listed with Direct Hit may also bring in
considerable amount of traffic, but your site has to be somewhat
popular. http://www.directhit.com
8. GoTo.com: Even though it is not free, GoTo.com can bring
targeted traffic to your site at a low cost. To get listed
with GoTo.com you have to open an account with a minimum of
$25, then bid on keywords that you would like to target. The
minimum bid for each keyword is $0.01. I would recommend
bidding $0.01 on 500-1000 keywords related to your site. You
can bid high on 5-10 keywords that are really important to
your site and bid $0.01 on others.
To generate 500-1000 keywords related to your site, use Jim
Tools keyword generator at http://www.jimtools.com. If you
type in two or three keywords related to your site, the
keyword generator searches the web for similar sites and
compiles list of keywords by reading their Meta tags.
Usually, if you bid on 1000 keywords, you will get between 75-100 hits
a day. http://www.goto.com
9. Yahoo!: Even though getting listed on Yahoo is a
pain and it may take up to six months, most sites get the majority of
their traffic from Yahoo!. Also try submitting to Yahoo!
Local or International if your site fits. If you submitted
your site to Yahoo! and nothing happened for four or five
weeks, try submitting again in the same category, or maybe
in a different category. You can get good tips on how to get
listed on Yahoo! at search engine forums at

do, but get listed on Yahoo!. http://www.yahoo.com

traffic or publicity. Write a press release and distribute
