You’ve already found the time to build your website. Let’s say you did build it in fortune city and you chose Google to be your email provider. Now you need to make yourself known to the world wide web.

The best choice for helping you to do that are the search engines. There are web content seekers such as Google, Altvista, Yahoo and Astalavista; this last one is an underground search engine. The type of business you have will determine what kind of search engine you need to apply to.

If indeed you can apply to each engine by hand, that is, looking it up, going to the page, then submitting it – usually by copy & paste - and then looking for your site when the waiting period is over; this is a long and a tedious way to handle things. There are places and web sites entirely devoted to help you add your website to these and more search engines; the more engines your website is added to, the more chances you will have of getting more and more business coming your way.

In all cases, you will need a working email address and a responsible person. Most search engines will delay the introducing of your website until they had a chance to check it out; spam, piracy and pornography are not usually admitted to this search engines, for web sites that root for these types of businesses there are the underground search engines.

One place good to start is “addme.com” this place is devoted to adding your website to most of the search engines, though it does not work with any of the underground ones; to that end, I would suggest that you visit “astalavista.com” and look around, there is a link for you to add your website, but do make sure that your politics and the line that you want to give your website is in accordance to the search engine and the sites it promotes.
