What to avoid when submitting to the search
engines
If you over-submit to the search engines,
you'll be viewed as a search engine spammer.
And that, of course, is b-a-d. These pages
should help you avoid offending the search
engine protocols:
How often should you resubmit your pages?
How to check
if your web site has been indexed yet
Submitting your site to the search engines
Now, here are the "Add URL" submission links.
You can save yourself time by knowing that
AllTheWeb, Google, Lycos and BigLocate all
spider your site, so just submit your home
page (eg, index.html or default.htm) and let
their robots explore your site by following
your links.
1) Major free spidering search engines
Submitting your home page is sufficient to
these, because these engines "spider"
your site. Their computers "crawl"
along the links you provide them.
Submit
to Alexa
Submit
to AllTheWeb
Submit
to AltaVista
Submit
to Google ... Google also provides results
to other engines and directories such as Netscape
Search, Yahoo and AOL Search.
Submit
to Inktomi, MSN and Hotbot ... Inktomi
Search Index powers MSN Search

the primary and/or secondary results at AltaVista,
AOL, Google, Hotbot, Lycos, Netscape and 200+
directories, portals and search engines. Important
but your site can take months to show up.
2) Other free spidering search engines
Submit
to BigLocate ... They start spidering
your site immediately you respond to their
confirmation email.
Gigablast
... The index size is 200 million web pages.
If your pages link back to Gigablast, they
are rewarded with a "Gigaboost"
ranking bump in the results. That's why I've
included the next search box...

LookSmart now charges $299, so I was
interested to find there's a "backdoor" into
LookSmart - through Zeal. It's only open to
non-commercial sites, as this article in RankWrite
explains. But if you're in a hurry, come back
later... this takes time. LookSmart says their
data is used by AltaVista, IWon, CNN, Time
Warner, Prodigy, and Juno.

Content is king?
Now, what content did you submit? That's
very important too. When they say content
is king, that doesnt mean one of those huge
500 page websites with the 'all about everything'
flavour. Once maybe, but not now.
One of the most significant current trends
among the big earners is their use of mini
sites. More particularly, their use of mininets
(networks of inter-connected minisites).
