Search Resources

This page will focus not so much on learning about the search engines but rather on being a great resource for webmasters. From here you can use the search boxes and links provided for various search engines to add your url, see who is linked to you, and check the effectiveness of your keywords. You will find Search Boxes for several search engines/directories on one convenient page.

Although there are many submission services available to automatically register your site, I truly believe that the best method is to individually submit to the various search engines/directories. Requirements vary and it's important to know how they differ. Search engine submission is too important to leave to chance!

Even if you are not submitting your site to search engines they will end up being listed by one means or another. For example, if someone else links to your page and they submit their site you will be searchable through that link.

The following search engine boxes are available below (also check additional links):
