So, you've designed a compelling web site that you're eager to show the world. It is close to impossible to drive any traffic to your site without having any help from the search engines, as they make up almost 85% of all web users. Although there are automated services that promise to get you listed on thousands of web directories and free-for-all (FFA) links pages, it is recommended that you manually submit your site to the top search engines. Set up a tickler file to do site submissions on a monthly basis. Resist the temptation to submit more often, because your hard work will go up in a puff of smoke if your URL gets banned for spamming.
