Google express inclusion ?

fsbotexas.us · 04-24-2004, 11:00 PM

Ok folks, I already know many of you are going to tell me not
to submit, I've gotten that speech already.

But I don't have 6 months to waite for that to happen.

So I am now simply asking for some clairification here:

I know Yahoo has en EI for 299.00
and I thought Google did to, am I confusing the two ?

Wouldn't the expence of Yahoo be a better payoff ?

Thanks in advance.

i got my site listed in google within a day for free..

best way to get listed in google is to have a link from another site which is already listed.

That is how i have always done it. As soon as i have a site that needs to be listed i simply go to some other site of mine and throw a good link on there which i know will be listed. I usually see google bot come around within a day or two of doing it.

Yes you are very confused. The $299.00 for Yahoo is for inclusion in their Directory not the search engine. Until recently you couldn't pay to get into Yahoo's search engine. Now you can via Overture's Site Match.

Google uses the DMOZ directory which is sometimes very long and slow to get into, but is free. And Google never required you to pay for inclusion in their serach engine.

Apparently people have told you before, so I feel complelled to tell you again, NEVER SUBMIT to Google. Get a couple of backlinks to your site and they will find you very quickly.

Yes link from this forum will get you indexed, but that is only the start. You need lots of backlinks to get placed high in the SERPs which I assume is your long term goal.

yes, it is Bob,
my long term goal that is,

here is my problem, and I;'m sure you've heard it before,
my sites are fully original, copy written php4 / mySQL data centers,
they are extraordinary, both of them, one is a little over 1 year
old the the other is almost 3 years old.

the thing is, no matter how special they are, I've only built
the outer wheel, and only now am I finding the sites to be
only half complete, do to a lack of PR, and other acronyms
I now have to learn.

Well, I hope that was worth a good chuckle for all, maybe
a walk down memory lane for some I bet,
I also hope some day I can look back on it a laugh too

I think you can laugh already.
Or, you can spend the next few days reading through the great "free" advice here.
