Places to Search at and to Submit Sites

Once you have your site organized and make it quite targeted to the theme you are trying to keep – full of the proper keywords, etc. – then you should start to submit your site to directories and search engines.

Some will not rate your site very high if you don’t have some links on other complimentary sites – but that does not mean you cannot start submitting before then. You can still submit the site and in some cases it won’t make any difference – it can get indexed for its content, and can show up in certain searches even if you don’t have links built up yet – if there isn’t a lot of competition.

I came across a fairly new search site that is growing in popularity and should be considered a site to get on. It’s free to submit and it indexes your site into the search IMMEDIATELY once you confirm. You will need to have a separate email address for each site you submit, and you can re-submit about every month – so if your site does not come out on the top, you should tweak it for a month to get it more optimized for the next submission, when you will hopefully get it to climb in rank.

Check out this search engine – both to search in and to submit to (and it’s run by the same group that runs the Amber Alerts):

http://biglocate.com

This site is refreshing in that it assigns immediate relevancy to your site and it gets indexed right away. Very useful – not based on buying your way in and getting ahead with money. Your site rates on its very own merits. There are no sites allowed that a child cannot look at. I applaud this group’s methods!

Other important search engines and directories you should try to get listed in include:

http://google.com - you should be linked to other sites
http://www.altavista.com
http://www.hotbot.com
http://www.lycos.com
http://www.webcrawler.com

There are others – but many are too small to worry about, and several others are powered by other engines
and directories, so you really don’t submit directly to them. Start out with these – and it might be good to
submit them directly rather than with a bulk submission service or tool.
