Rule nr 1: you must have your web site listed in the search engines to
attract people (or traffic) to your web site.

If you can not be found in the search engines, you will miss out on a
lot of traffic, and this could lead to the end of your online presence.

It's obvious; if your web site doesn't show up when people perform an
Internet search, how do you expect them to find you between the
millions of other web pages?

Search Engine presence is essential!

My humor site http://www.theweirdsite.com gets 40% of all traffic from the
search engines, meaning around 900 - 1.000 hits a day.

Of course I get many traffic from other links, my newsletter and from E-zine
and other advertising methods, but don't you agree that 40% is important
enough to get you listed?

If you don't know the right way to submit your web site to the search
engines, relax, I'll make it easy for you and tell you step by step.

First you have to find out how your site ranks on the search engines.

- Check if your web pages are robot friendly.

Let the CGI-doctors at Scrubtheweb.com analyze your Meta Tags. This
has to be done if you are serious about getting listed, because Meta Tags
are what most engine spiders and robots read when they index your pages.

Now you can submit your web site to the major search engines. You can
do it by using our simple submission form and it's totally FREE!

Want to submit to more search engines?

Getting listed with the major search engines is important, but the
more places you list your web site in, the more traffic you will get.

Just make sure you don't use one of the mass submission services,
because their method clutters up the search engines databases, and
is therefore no longer accepted and practically considered as spamming.

And you know what that means, right?

This means that your web site will be neglected and possibly
banned from all future listings!

However, this is the worst case scenario, and if you still want to submit
your web site to thousands of other search engines and directories,
without being punished, click here.
