These free services are good, effectively, and free of charge. The most important is picking the best keywords/phrases before take action to submit your Web site. Stand at the side of visitors you want to attract, make a list of what kind of keywords or phrases they are likely to search on to find what they're looking for.

Tips for getting listed in Search Engines:

• Use keywords in the TITLE of your document making it as descriptive as possible.
• Present your most important information first, Search engines assign greater relevancy to text located at the top of a page than to text located in the other portion of the page.
• Use META tags. It is possible for you to control how your page is indexed by using META tags to specify both additional keywords to index, and a short description. META tag codes are inserted within the HEAD tags. Two important META tags are:
  

  < META name="description" content="We specialize in grooming pink poodles." >
  < META name="keywords" content="pet grooming, Palo Alto, dog" >

• Use keywords and/or description of site in ALT attributes in IMG tags, especially if your site contains multiple graphics , images or image-maps at the top of your home page.
