Drizzle Internet NW-FAQ-Getting on search engines?

How do I get my web site listed on all of those search engines?

Ultimately, it takes time, patience, and having a site that's worth finding. For a thorough and accessible site with lots of information on and strategies for getting listed, check out Robert Woodhead's site. (It also features his BaldSpotCam: say no more!)

There are a number of sites on the Web which purport to give advice about how to get your web site listed with the various search engines (Yahoo, Alta Vista, HotBot, etc.). They may offer helpful information, but many want you to go through them to submit your web site to the various search engines. One informative site is submit-it.com.

(Note that we do not endorse this site or its advice.)

There are also software programs that will send your site to numerous search engines at once. These programs are not free, but many of them will allow you to check them out before buying. If you're using Windows, try here.

Unfortunately, we haven't yet found a similar site that compares such software programs for the Mac. If you run across such a site, send us some e-mail.
