• The Top 7: These are the top sevn most popular sites. You simply must register with these sites even if you don't bother with any others!
• The Rest: These sites are less popular and so aren't such a priority. However, the more search engines you register with, the better. You should note that some are specific to a particular set of products, while others may demand a link back to them. Read their documentation carefully.
• Cool Search Engine Sites List: These are a group of sites that you can register with in order to be nominated for a cool site. They use there own discretion so don't feel bad if your site isn't chosen.
• Classifieds : As the name implies, these sites are for folks who have something to sell or want something to buy.
• Pay Sites: These are service sites that can register your site for you, for a fee. Some such as Submit-It bring up a list of the popular search sites that you can register from one place.

All the sites in each category are listed in alphabetical order. If you know of a search service that is not in the list, let us know, we'll put it in.

Some search services use categories to organize web pages and will allow you to register in only a finite number of them, many only allow you to register under two categories. Determining which category may be a challenge and the best way would be to explore the site first and find out which category best fits your product or service.

Many search services require a list of keywords or a description or both. Choose these carefully and make sure they encompass everything your product or service provides.

Other search services may just require your URL. In a few days their robots come in and browse your front page, (among others), and your Title. It is important to list as many keywords or descriptions of your site on your front page. A word of caution however, don't be overly zealous by repeating keywords ad infinitum, many search engines will disregard ALL information when this situation is encountered.

The best strategy, we believe, is a careful, methodic registration at each service. Carefull planning on your part can lead to big rewards later on.

The following information should be at your disposal when registering:

• Title
• URL
• Name of Organization
• CITY STATE/PROVINCE
• COUNTRY
• CONTACT NAME
• CONTACT EMAIL ADDRESS
• Categories Keyword short list 25 word
• Description Paragraph Description (about 50 - 100 words)
