SEARCH ENGINE PROMOTION SITES:
-
Search
Engine Registration & Website Submissions
- Robert Woodhead has assembled an amazing resource here. If you
want to know more about search engine submissions, his site is
definitely the first one you should check out. I'm hugely impressed
with his knowledge, and the wonderful way he goes about explaining
it. Have a look for yourself and you'll see what I mean.
- Internet

engines and directories along with search engine submission, list

Search Engine Optimisation
- Get The Facts - The web site that explains search engine optimisation
('SEO') and pay per click ('PPC') - Read more about Yahoo, Overture,
Google And Search Engine Optimisation
- NetMechanic's
"Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization" - If
all this stuff about "search engine optimization" and
why it's important is confusing you, this tutorial is a MUST.
Comprehensive and easy to understand, this site also offers an
automated tool for various website promotion functions. The tools
cost money, but this tutorial is entirely free - and well worth
the read.
- Internet
Marketing and Promotion Resources - These guys provide in-depth
internet marketing and website promotion resources to their visitors.
They also have resources on how to build your website, how to
promote it, and how to track the effectiveness of that promotion.
Have a look!
- Submit
One Wizard - Download this free trial and give it a whirl
before buying the program. Might be worth it just for the freebie.
- ABC
Easy Submit - A free submission service that actually gives
some pretty detailed explanations about things.
- Super
Link Adder - Another free submit service that displays all
the places it can submit you to right on the same page you enter
your information. It's worth noting that this site claims you
will receive more traffic after you use their free service. I
want to warn you again - there is NO GUARANTEE that what they
claim will happen, really *will* happen unless you give some thought
to what you're submitting. Claims like this are why the service
is free.
- Submit
Away - A page containing a whole bunch of links to other free
submission services.
- Submit
Your URL to Free Sites - And yet another page with links to
free submission services. You're bound to find some overlap and
not all of the sites will work, but it's still very useful.
As
free resources, sites like the ones above are invaluable and I encourage
you to become familiar with them. If you have a free submission
site or resource, or know of one that you've been really impressed
with, feel free to contact
me
and I'll add it to this list.
The
differences between these submission services and the one I provide
is simple: I do all the work for you. Plus, if you read through
the Internet Marketing Services
section, you'll have realized that effective website promotion is
more than simply submitting your site to search engines. If your
site isn't ready to be submitted - if it doesn't have the proper
keywords or hasn't been optimized - you will see very few results
from those submissions.
Happy
promoting!
