Thread: Seo Basics - Site Submission

without meaning to sound like a complete idiot but how do you submit sites to directories and search engine. Ive just launched a site and am frantically sending out links, pr, etc. Its an artists resource site and as of yet i have no marketing money.....
thanks alot or the help

Most of the directories have an "add link" or "submit link" button

Do a search in Google for "submit link" - Google Search or "add link" - Google Search=

The problem with that is that it's time consuming, but Rome wasn't build in one day...

use the fluffylinkulator :P rapid inclusion service

actually the three links it gives are the basics ... and go from there.

Personal networking can also be effective.

If you have even a small audience for your site and you are willing to share your audience with me then I can share my different audience with you.

You can do this by link or banner exchange or by giving people or sites a personal plug on your site or blog.

3 way links are better than direct swops. i.e. a links to b who links to c who links to a. These 3 way links are obviously slightly more difficult to arrange.

It's on forums such as this that you can get to know people and they can get to know you, thereby building trust and relationships.

Best of luck !

Don't do anything frantically...

Post your url on the boards here and come out of hiding - you will then get better advice.

Throw €20 Louie's way and visit his Directory submission tool (in his sig).

So far ive sent out to everyone in my database and am searching through relevent art and community organisations, etc. Am also asking people to send links on and running blog out of website - my url is Mutant Space | Mutant Space - home page http://www.mutantspace.ie its an arts resource site,

thanks alot for any and all advice

okay my url isMutant Space | Mutant Space - home page by the way - thanks alot to all of you on the advice - ive been busily going thro different SEO sites - got google analytics on the site - wasnt until i found out about it that i knew it existed - programmers never said anything...anyway....up 3 weeks and as its a niche its going well enough....
thanks again

You are really asking several questions here. If you have not already submitted to Google, Yahoo, and MSN then do so. Use Google's webmaster tools to submit an XML sitemap.

You can forget the directory route that is an obsolete practice. Use forums in your industry and use Digg and Stumple... That should help!
