  4. How do I get my site listed?

    The below sites allow for easy submission - just provide your home page URL and the "spiders" will crawl the page incorporating text from the page into its database. The title, text and meta tags are used to read the page, so make sure the content of the HTML document is up-to-date and relevant before you submit your URL.

    These are some of the more popular search engines on the Web, so if you're not in the databases yet, you should be.

    Infoseek
    search page:
    http://www.infoseek.com/
    submit URL: http://www.infoseek.com/AddUrl?pg=DCaddurl.html

    Lycos
    search page: http://www.lycos.com/
    submit URL: http://www.lycos.com/addasite.html

    WebCrawler
    search page: http://webcrawler.com/
    submit URL: http://webcrawler.com/Help/GetListed/AddURLS.html
