You may also want to use an automated site submission tool that submits your site to multiple search engines in one fell swoop.
It's quite likely that your web host provides a utility with this functionality that you can use to submit the URLs for your hosted domains to a group of search engines. Figure 2-1 shows the results of a site submission using the tool provided by one web host (you'll probably find that your web host provides something similar).
"Before using a site submission tool, you should prepare a short list of keywords and a one- or two-sentence summary of your site as I mentioned in "Creating a Plan and a Story," earlier in this chapter (you can reuse the keywords and site summary as keywords and description data in your "" tags). Alternatively, if you have already created meta information for your site, as I explain in Chapter 3, you can use the keywords and description in your meta information for search engine submissions."
"If the tool is provided by your web host, probably you will be able to submit only your domain, rather than directories within the domain, for example, http://www.braintique.com but not http://www.braintique.com/research/."
If you search Google with a phrase like "Search Engine Submit," you'll find many free services that submit to a group of search sites for you. Typically, these free submission sites try to up-sell or cross-sell you on a product or service, but since you don't have to buy anything, why not take advantage of the free service? The two best-known examples of this kind of site are Submit Express , http://www.submitexpress.com, which will submit your URL to 40 sites for free (just be sure you pass on the various offers you'll find on the site) and NetMechanic , http://www.netmechanic.com, another search engine submission site along the same lines.
