This tutorial will not promise you a top search engine position. It will also not reveal how to get your site into thousands of search engines.

Instead, you will discover exact locations where you can submit your website for free and few "paid submissions" that are actually worth price.

Yes, there ARE still places where you can submit your website for free. There are actually seven extremely busy search engines that have not (not yet anyway) migrated to requiring payment for listings.

Here's a listing of these engines along with URLs where you can add your site(s) for free:

1. Lycos Add URL: http://home.lycos.com/addasite.html

2. Google Add URL: http://www.google.com/addurl.html

3. HotBot Add URL: http://hotbot.lycos.com/addurl.asp

4. Northern Light Add URL: http://www.northernlight.com/docs/regurl_help.html

5. DMOZ - The Open Directory Project Add URL: http://dmoz.org/add.html

6. Direct Hit - An Ask Jeeves Service Add URL: http://www.directhit.com/util/addurl.html

7. Fast - (Formerly "All Web") http://www.alltheweb.com/add_url.php3

Those seven search engines above have been responsible for sending literally thousands of visitors to my website over past year. And they will send thousands more. And perhaps best part is that I didn't have to pay them a dime.

At last count, Yahoo receives over 180 million visitors a month.

Can you imagine kind of traffic you'll receive by getting just a small percentage of Yahoo's traffic?

For many, getting listed in Yahoo is like winning lottery: millions enter, but only a few are accepted.

However, by following 7 simple steps listed below you'll be able to :

o jump past millions of websites vying for a listing o get your site listed o receive more targeted visitors o and ultimately earn more money.

Here's how to get your site listed in Yahoo:

1. Focus on a GOOD Keyword

Understanding which keywords people are actively searching can mean difference between your site getting 50 visitors a day or 1000 visitors a day. So, you'll need to target keywords that people are actively searching for to get any meaningful source of traffic.

Here are 3 ways to Discover Popular Keywords:

o Wordspot - http://www.wordspot.com o Goto Search Term Suggestion Tool http://inventory.go2.com/inventory/Search_Suggestion.jhtml o Good Keywords - http://www.goodkeywords.com

2. Set Up an New Domain

It's a good idea to create an entirely new domain using Keyword you came up with in Step 1.

Sure, it may involve an upfront cost:

o $15 / year for a domain name + year worth of hosting (Find this Amazing price at http://www.doteasy.com) o $199 for an Express Submission. o Total Cost = $214 dollars

However, just imagine how many visitors you can bring with a Yahoo listing. For instance, let's say you can bring 500 visitors a day (a conservative estimate). This comes out to about 182,500 visitors in a year.

A total cost of $214.40 for 182,500 adds up to less than 1/10 a penny a visitor. Plus, if you submit this new site to various search engines, you will gain even more visitors. You won't find a better bargain out there.

3. Create Unique Content

Setting up a new domain is not enough for getting into Yahoo. To get into Yahoo, you'll need to present unique content for Yahoo editors. Remember, each site that's submitted to Yahoo is reviewed by live humans.

So how do you create unique content for Yahoo reviewers?

One way to do this is to find gaps in Yahoo's listings, and provide information to fill in those gaps.

Simply search Yahoo's category listing in subject area you plan on submitting to and finding an area that is lacking content. Then, your job is to simply create content to fill in gaps for them.

Don't worry, you don't have to create a massive 500 pg. website. 7-10 pages of unique content (including links to other sources) should be more than adequate to get you listed.

4. Title of Your Site Should Be On Your Actual Website.
