Once your keywords have been decided upon and your site has been made as easily "crawlable" to the search engines as possible, it's time to start submitting it to the search engines and directories. I promote your web site to all the top search engines and directories that still accept free submissions. In the case of certain directories such as Yahoo! & LookSmart, a free submission can be made if the website is non-commercial or has a free resource attached to it. I then also submit your site to country-specific and topic-specific locations around the world.

All the major search engine and directory submissions are made BY HAND. Manual submissions are the most effective and ensure that your site is added properly. The smaller, more topic or country-specific search engines and directories are submitted to using proprietary software. A detailed report of where you were submitted is then sent to you at the end of the process.

Results are not typically quick. It can take anywhere from six to eight weeks for most free search engines to add your site to their listings.
