"requires registration"? sod that... dmoz and google will do me for now.


(thanks for the link though)

You really don't have to submit sites to Google, do you? Doesn't the Googlebot just wander around following links and mapping pages thus creating its own submissions?

yeah but it doesnt hurt to submit as well.

plus, following links isnt going to get a googlebot to my new site anytime soon...

 

[Van Hellseek]

how is google going to find a site by following links, when there is nothing linking to it?

 

[Van Hellseek]

Get some people linking to you.

i wish it were that easy!

 

[Van Hellseek]

Depending on what your site is about, I'll link you.

see sig.

can return favour if suitable.

pagerank will go up after it's been listed on dmoz, even if only by one point.

another of my sites went from 0-3 in a few months after being listed on dmoz. still not massive, but better than nothing.

 

[Van Hellseek]

My God entry requirements for dmoz should be that people have a clue about how the whole shebang works

yeah then all 12 of you could enjoy it together.

it's funny how you want to submit a site to a search engine, yet you never thought to use one to find out how to do it.

yes that is funny.
