Hey josephus07 have you coded META tags into your html? They will really help your listings.
http://www.philb.com/metatag.htm
Goes over them. Just google for "meta tag tutorial".
Next you need to get google to notice your site. You dot his by submitting your site to google.
http://www.google.com/addurl/
Now in order to get a decent rank in google you need to get your site listed on popular websites. For example if you reply to this post with your site's url in the form of a link the Google Bot will find it as this is a very popular site and will get scanned by google every few days.
Then goto another popular site where you can post comments and post a relevant comment but include your website url as a signiture. However eitherway you look at it, it's still spam.
Popular sites:
www.myspace.com
www.digg.com
I'm sure you know of lots of sites you could spam it on... If your friends have any sites ask them to put a link to your site from their site on it. Generally the more sites that link to your site the better search rank you will get.

Google AdWords is a good way of advertising your site. However it could be pretty costly to you. Good luck it takes a while to get it listed.
If you need additional help send me a PM. |

Lots of money |
To get on the first page or two of the "natural listing" (free text) you need Meta Tags and lots of keyword text on your site. You need many pages; those pages contain your keywords and links to other pages on your site containing your key words. Links to your site from other similar related sites are also taken into consideration. Links from non related sites, in your case Auto Parts, Car Wash, Vacuum Cleaners, etc would not help in the least. I have spent a lot of money with an Search Engine Optimization (SEO) company to get my website optimized for the Free Text search engines. The "Pay per Click" stuff (otherwise known as Sponsored Links) are on the top and right of the "Free Text" area. I have tried the "Sponsored Link" deal and increased traffic and sales, but all profits went to pay for the silly "Pay per Clicks" . Depending on the search engine you bid on how much you are willing to pay for a click and can set limits on daily spending. I spent anywhere from .25 per click to $3 per click. The best bet is to research and do your best to get in the "Free Text" area. It is not a easy task.

There are many ways. Meta tags is one, rand eciprocal linking is another.
There are some good sites out there that can help you...there is just so much that it is mind-boggling. There is also a technique where you write a page telling the robots what on your site to read. Just do some searchs on "robots" and "spyders." The most important thing is that you need to submit your site to all of the search engines out there. Bottom line is that you can do almost all of it for nothing. Money should not be an issue to becoming famous!
Here is a great source that is free. Web CEO, they will have you download some software (again it is free) and then you submit various pages to search engines via the software. This is probably the most efficient way to get your site out there for free.

Doesn't work anymore. It now takes you to the BBC news report of what it used to do. |

Thanks guys. This is a lot for me to explore and I appreciate it. Can I have METATAGS if my website was made through doteasy.com? (I haven't had a chance to look at all the info yet, but I will and I do appreciate it very much).
Thanks! |
