Once your Web Page is up and running, it is necessary to tell the world about it, so everyone can enjoy the fruits of your labors. Register the URL with major search engines and indexes, those high-quality directories and search engines organized for easy access and utilized by many on the Web. You need to do a search on words like "directory" and "pointer" using multiple search engines. Then you need to link to the directories and fill out the forms, an average of 30 minutes per directory.
Since each directory and search engine processes their entries at different rates, you need to check the search engines about every two to four weeks to confirm which entries have appeared as requested. (Also, some of the directories and search engines will directly send you email to confirm the addition of your site.) After four weeks, resubmit your site to any directory or search engine where your listing does not appear as expected.
