Submit to Search Engines
Have the search engines found you yet? While a bit time consuming, you may want to take the time to sumbit to various search engines.
Each search engine has its submission procedure, but often you just submit the main URL that you want included in the index.
Try Google, Yahoo!, and/or dmoz.org
Submit to Blog Directories
Submit your key pages with appropriate keywords in the links to blog directories. There are a bunch of free directories out there.
Try Blogarama, Blogdigger, Blog Search Engine, and/or
Technorati
Bonus Tips
By submit your RSS to MyYahoo or Google’s personalized pages, it can help to get indexed on Yahoo! and Google.
Be wary of the services that offer to submit your sites for you. You often have to pay for the priviledge and your results may be better than theirs.
