1. Announcing Your Web Site with Internet Search Engines and Directories
    The objective here is to get your Web site listed in the Internet's equivalent of the yellow pages. This is probably the most cost effective way of reaching prospects who otherwise may not be aware of your company. Once listed, prospects who search on these directories can find your site.

There are hundreds of sites where you can announce your site. Each typically falls into one of six categories:
1) search engines; 2) announcement sites; 3) general directories; 4) geographic sites; 5) specific-interest sites; or 6) selective sites.

Always announce your site the day it's published as it will take from a day to several weeks for the search engines to include it in their databases. It's best to not announce before your site is published, however, as prospects who click to a site still under construction are unlikely to return.

As your Web site changes and grows you may want to announce additional Web pages to the search engines. For example, if you create a new section of your site for a new product or service, you may want to announce the main page of that section
