Slightly off topic question on site registration

S

Steve

I have a classical music site, and don't know how to go about registering it with search engines
Theres no money involved so I can't afford the annual hundreds of dollars in fees. I trie
the Yahoo "suggest a site" but its been 6 weeks and so far we don't show up. Can anyon
point me in the right direction

Thank

Steve

I once sent the urlof my site into Google through their search toolbar, and
I don't know whether that's the reason, but I sometimes see my pages listed
on Google. I did not pay anything.

I believe some search engines have "web crawlers" that contact ISP's for web
pages (i.e. user/member pages) to list on their search engines - so you might end
up on a dozen or two without realising - like being in the phonebook - that is
automatic unless you request a silent number from your phone company, so with
site engines I don't know how you "Delist" yourself but the idea would of course
to be on as many as possible so people know your site exists, and therefore
generates visits.

They all take time....sometimes months.
Google is quicker under a week, but you don't submit for Goog.
