AltaVista usually adds a page within a few days. It's best to
submit only a few URLs per day to them, even though they appear
to accept as many as you try to feed them. For whatever reason,
they just don't seem to index them as quickly if you give them a
lot at once. All you need to do is submit your URL.

Google is one of our personal favorites. It makes heavy use of
link popularity as a primary way to rank web sites. This can be
especially helpful in finding good sites in response to general
searches such as "cars" and "travel," because users across the
web have in essence voted for good sites by linking to them. The
system works so well that Google has gained widespread praise
for its high relevancy. Google also provides some results to
Yahoo and Netscape Search. Submit only your homepage URL. It
will automatically index the entire site.

Excite claims it takes about two weeks to add a submitted URL to
its index. Sometimes, but not always. You'll need to be very
persistent with them. But take the time to do it, Excite is the
primary search service for the new giant AOL/Netscape.

Its main listings come from the Open Directory project, and then
secondary results come from either Direct Hit or Lycos' own
spider. Just follow their simple instructions and don't expect
immediate results from your submission. Again, your best bet is
to get indexed in the Open Directory project.

Direct Hit is a company that works with other search engines to
refine their results. It does this by monitoring what users
click on from the results they see. Sites that get clicked on
more than others rise higher in Direct Hit's rankings. Thus, the
service dubs itself a "popularity engine". Follow their
instructions and submit your site.

Enter your URL, e-mail, site name and site description to submit
your site.
