d. Make sure your address is listed SOMEWHERE on your website.

e. Fill in Comments/Suggestions section at end of form. They really would like to know what you have to say about your website.

f. Use as many keywords as you can in your title & description.

2. Getting in without cash:

If you would like to submit your site, but don't want to pay $199 fee, then you can go in through Regional/Local categories and stand a good chance.

a. Make sure you choose a category that has company's home town or city in it (e.g. "flowers Garden City, New York" ) - this may limit your search capabilities slightly, but a lot of regional sites come up in general searches on Yahoo! as well as top categories. So, your site will come up under Flowers, as well as Flowers New York.

b. Again, fill out form COMPLETELY

d. Make sure your address is listed SOMEWHERE on your website.

e. Fill in Comments/Suggestions section at end of form.

f. Use as many keywords as you can in your title & description.

Some general tips for your submissions:

Although categories are not always listed alphabetically, sites within categories are alphabetical, so come up with a good title, that has a low letter (like A or B), but, do not stretch truth about your site. This is a Yahoo! no-no.

And, make sure your title or description does not read like Ad Copy - DO NOT write: The Best Flowers in World! or #1 Flower Site - this will definitely put you in outbox.

Okay, these are some of tips we can offer you on getting your site listed. While bworks.com does include Yahoo! submissions in our general marketing proposals, we wanted to help you as much as possible if you would like to try it on your own.

The above guidelines have helped us tremendously, and they'll work for you.

As for page optimization (making web pages designed to rank highly on search engines and drive resulting traffic to main site), many professionals now agree that creating frame pages that have optimized html in tag while framing<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128440"> main site is<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128441"> best way to go. This is perfectly OK by<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128442"> engines when used responsibly. If you wish to use software to rapidly create these pages, consider using PositionWeaver PRO (www.positionweaver.com).<p>Correct Search Engine Submission<p>It is widely known now that some of<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128443"> automated submission tools do not do a good job at submitting a site to<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128444"> search engines. One major problem is that some engines do not want more than one page submitted to them from<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128445"> same domain within a 30-minute period. That is set that way to catch spammers. And most engines do not want<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128446"> same page submitted to them within<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128447"> same 24-hour period. Now there is a tool called<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128448"> Search Engine Commando that you can use that is fully safe and easy to use. It has built in rules that enable it to submit your pages in<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128449"> same responsible and effective manner that a professional search engine marketer would, making sure that you will not be tagged for spamming or have your submission ignored for failing to observe<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128450"> rules. To learn more about it, see:<p>http://activemarketplace.com/w.cgi?sec-9153<p>Interesting Tidbits<p>A new study by Cyveillance shows that<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128451"> Web has grown to more than 2.1 billion documents.

While you could use<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 128454"> META robots tag to control this, many engines now ignore that tag. Your best bet is to use a robots.txt file, which is placed in your root folder. All major engines and many smaller ones make use of robots.txt files.
