Search Engine Submission

So you want to submit your website to the search engines? Here's the short list. Have fun...

Google;
Do read the submission guide first!

OPD (Open Directory Project)
At ODP, your website is not indexed by a bot. It is indexed by a human being that will look at your site and decide if it belongs in their directory. The indexers prefer factual descriptions rather than promotional ones. They don't like "hype," just facts. The best way to submit your site to ODP is to find a site that is similar to yours that has already been accepted into ODP. Use that site - which has already been accepted - as a guideline for which category to submit to, and how to file the submission. Submit your site to ODP here;

NOTE: Very few places ask for an email address. There is little need for your email address other than to send you ads. If a submission site asks for an email address, either skip that one, or use an email address that's discardable (ie hotmail) so that if it starts getting spam, you're not bombarded at your regular email address.

Note; Even though most of the search engines draw results from Google and.or ODP, you can submit your site directly to avoids the time delay in waiting for your site to be "spidered".
