Submitting your site to search engines

[OFT1]

Hi all,

I was just wondering how all of your that have established websites attract all your traffic?

I have a new website that I would like included in all the search engines, but it can be a pain to submit it to all if them. Have any of you ever used a submition service? Are they worth it?

And do you guys do a lot of link exchange to boost your ranking?

Read the Brainstorming link. Some very good advice about Press Releases. I think this would be a good place for you to start. Nice website!

I dont submit I get them to find me.

I sign up my websites from portals that link for free to me.. then I link from my index websites. Get picked up weekly.

Try downloading/purchasing a piece of software called IBP (internet business promoter) it really has some incredible tools for getting your site optimized and submitted to the best search engines. IMHO its worth every penny.

Do you submit to just gambling/poker portals or ???

start general places like the following to get picked up:
http://www.sightquest.com/recreation/gambling-18867.htm
http://www.bjrnet.com/freelinks.htm (pr4 no backlink needed)

General gambling links will help out your site alot.

Lots of other links around the net!

Also even it takes 8 months always add domain to dmoz.org and $12 for an exactseek premimum 3 month listing will also help you get picked up quick and send a little traffic.

always have a mix og general gambling and poker links pointing to your website.. the ai of google is getting better and better and trust me no sites in the universe does not only have poker links and same link text pointing to it....

Yeah, I got the Exactseek link in my favorites, just havn't done it yet. Did you buy it for 1 year or just 3 months?

All my domains get submitted to DMOZ and hand submitted to about 12 other SE's and directories. DMOZ used to be so much faster...

Normally I just do the 3 months.

Have a few 1 year listings but only because it is good keywords.
