Search
Engine Watch says: "The absolute best way to get listed
with any search engine is to build links to your web site.
Indeed, this is the best way to get listed for free with all the
major web crawlers. Crawlers follow links, so if you have good
links pointing at your web site, the crawlers are more likely to
find and include your pages."

10 Point
Directory Selection Criteria
Our 8 point, strict
criteria by which we determine the appropriate directories for your web
site:
-
The
homepage of the web site must have a PR 3 or above.
-
The
internal pages on which
we place your link must have a minimum PR 2. (The page ranking of
the internal directory pages may be PR2 now but in 3 or 4
months, as submissions increase, the PR will also increase.)
-
We
only place one-way, non-reciprocal links.
-
We
never submit your site to link exchange sites.
-
We
never submit your site to link farms.
-
We
never submit your site to web rings.
-
We do not submit your site to a
directory that has more than 50 links on a page unless
the directory has a PR of 6 or above .
-
We submit your site, by hand, to Google,
Yahoo, MSN and Dmoz.
-
Every
link that we place for your site is in your relevant category or
industry as well as your geographical location when possible.
-
When
we find a paid link that we believe you should have we will notify
you, give you some details and you can decide for yourself if you
want to pay for that submission. We will do the submission for
you or you can do it yourself.
The
Directory Acceptance Process
The
acceptance process takes many forms and depends entirely on the
directory or search engine's own internal processes.
-
Some
directories and search engines do not send a confirmation that your
site will be listed - they simply include the listing.
-
Some
directories will send a confirmation that your listing as been
accepted prior to the listing actually appearing on their site.
-
Your
listing will appear in many directories almost immediately,
especially the paid directories.
-
Some
directories take up to 6 months for your listing to appear.
