Besides submitting your website to the major search engines, you can also submit your URL to dozens of smaller, alternative search engines and Web directories to get additional site traffic and inbound links. This is especially helpful if you're launching a brand new website and need to generate links and site traffic quickly. Also, please note that many of these search engines require you to provide your email address and give them permission to send you commercial email messages or require a reciprocal link in exchange for listing your site. Many accept free submissions, but some have a paid inclusion or pay-per-click model. Please refer to the content of each website for specific instructions on submitting your URL and their submission criteria.
