Hi, I am a newbie to web business. My site is not added in alexA. Am I supposed to submit my site there or what? Thanks
Just make sure your site has backlinks from other sites on the web, and Alexa and the other search engines should find and index it automatically. Adding it to your DigitalPoint forum signature would be a good start.
You can simply register to Alexa & submit your website to crawl. Here's alexa toolbar which can be used in IE & mozilla to monitor your website's ranking. http://www.alexa.com/toolbar
use google webmaster tools to monitor your website - for keyword search, suggestions & also you can submit a sitemap of your site. It will help your website to index in major search engines.
