    hey whats the craic lads? Im doing a site for my cousin design and server site stuff is grand. The problem Im having is with promotion, driving traffic on to the site. Now i know all that meta tags ****e but whats the crack with search engine submission. Could some of you share your experiences with some of the submissions software tools out there or at least point me in the right direction, online articles etc.

    Cheers,

    Stephen

    enter your url here. and with all the major search engines. there are many irish search engines out there too.

    after that link exchange is always good although it all depends on the volume of traffic you want.

    Don't think I've submitted a site to a search engine in years. Just get it linked to, the major search engines will discover it via the link and spider it shortly afterwards. The minor search engines don't matter a damn.

    What sort of site is it? Commercial/non-commercial? Are you willing to spend money - because if you are AdWords can be a very cost-effective form of advertisement.

    It almost hurts to say it: Why don't you Google and find out?

    From 0.05c per click. You can also set a limit to how much you are willing to spend and get started from I think as little as €5.

    EDIT: Should have clarified, AdWords is Google's advertising programme, in case anyone didn't know.

    Submitting to regional and specialised directories will help improve your site's traffic.
    I've been using this site for the last few years and found it very helpful

    Meta tags are ignored by most big search engines these days.

    I've used Wpromote search engine submission and it helped me a lot. its $49.99 a month and they will submit you to loads of search engines and pay for inclusion in yahoo and will even take out sponsered links for you with overture.

    You can do it for just one month if you want (I saw hits coming from loads of new search engines after just a couple of days).

    If you're goin with Wpromote do it here
