Hi Folks,

I'm a bit of a newbie at this web design thing and finally got my site
completed (as if that EVER happens). My question is what is the best way to
get your site submitted on the search engines. So far I have submitted it to
most of the main search engines and freewebsubmission.com but it has been
over a month and only Alta Vista seems to show it. I did follow the advice
on several sites on Meta Tags, but am still waiting for results.
Thanks in advance for any help here....Ross

What's the URL ?

We can analyse the content etc and *advise* you
how to modify items to improve your ratings :~)

Get someone - anyone - with a page that's already on Google's database to
put a link to your site. The spider will follow the link next time it visits
their page and it'll find your site.

As a bonus, if the link text contains your keyword(s), Google will give them
extra weighting when evaluating the page's place in the results of searches
for the keyword(s).

A URL might get more site-specific advice.

Send me cash & I will put a lunk on me site for you.

Meta tags mean nothing. SE spiders ignor them. Page titles & <h1> tags
that contain the keywords will get you the best results.

Such pages don't do much to Google ranking. From Google Hacks:

Bad neighborhoods are those sites that exist only to propagate links.
Because link popularity is one aspect of how Google determines PageRank,
some sites have set up "link farms"--sites that exist only for the
purpose of building site popularity with bunches of links. The links are
not topical, like a specialty subject index, and they're not
well-reviewed, like Yahoo!; they're just a pile of links. Another
example of a "bad neighborhood" is a general FFA page. FFA stands for
"free for all"; it's a page where anyone can add their link. Linking to
pages like that is grounds for penalty from Google.

Now, what happens if a page like that links to you? Will Google penalize
you (sic) page? No. Google accepts that you have no control over who
links to your site.

But YOU don't have a LINKS page on YOUR website so YOU are the only one to benefit.
