    Here's Sultan_Emerrs Links to getting your site Registered with the Search Engines...


    If you hope to get a load of returning visitors, you have to keep updating it with new things that make people want to keep going, and it's gotta look good. The better looking, the more people want to be affiliated with it. Also, make friends, and share links. Join web rings, give the links to your friends who are interested, and an interactive element like a message board, or such, will (if handled correctly) keep people coming back.

    1. Link to other pages, and have them link to you.

    2. Use relevant META tags for keywords and description

    3. Announce your website in many online forums (if Allowed or in your Signature File). Many sites frown on Posting about Personal Sites.

    4. Register your url with google and as many other search engines as possible.

    5. Update your site often to have repeat visitors.

    6. Add your url in your email signature.

    7. Do a search on google, then at the bottom of the page is "Disatisfied with results? Help us improve" link. Just fill out the info. and the spiders will go to your site.

    8. Add your url to your business card and pass them out.

    I just wanted to reiterate the tagging. This is something that I forgot, or didn't understand in the beginning. This weekend I finally figured it out, and went back and tagged all of my posts with the appropriate categories and noticed and immediate increase in traffic.

    It does work.

    Answer questions in Yahoo Answers and make sure to put your site URL in the sources section. Write quality answers. Not only does it draw traffic, but I pick up about 5-10 backlinks a day writing quick paragraph answers.

    wow, thats great! thanks for the huge resource you provided.

    i usually start with some fresh contents, and keep adding them as much as i can. after that use the feeds, i use feedburner for it.

    after that i start some pings! that helps in indexing.

    then i keep adding contents, and keep making backlinks. i buy links and do link exchange etc, try to give more importance to the anchor texts!
    it helps a lot:)
