If you have cPanel (which you do) there is a tool to submit your site to like 7 diffrent search engines (including Google).
Take your domain and add this to the end: :2082/frontend/x/submit/index.html
(Including the : at the start)
For example it would be : www.domain.com:2082/frontend/x/submit/index.html
Then just click through all that junk - Just make sure not to do it more then once as search engines really hate that and tend to actually NOT list the site.
Also it could take a while to get listed (It's either up to 3 weeks, or months (not sure which one)).
Also I believe the thing will error out on a few search engines - Don't worry about that. Once you get into one (especially Google) all the other search engines take notice and go "X has that site... We should too...".

ok, lets clear up a few thigns here....
1) anthony knows you = rokbas
2) google doesnt work like that. By submitting your site to google, your just telling it to go look at your site. Which it has in fact already done. If you saw your site on page three, then i garuntee you that your on google's database already.
The way you move up in rank on google is simply having the best content for the keyword searched.
may sound simple, but this is why google is so good at what it does. It doesnt work by people submitting to it. Rather, it looks around your site and indexes what you have as content and remembers it. And when people ask for something on it, it cross references your page with their criteria and gives them the results.
Now i know your asking this..... why do other sites that have pretty much the same content have a higher rank than yours.
Another key feature of google.... it looks at the links to that website FROM other websites and ranks it accordingly. So lets go through a scenario here really quick....
lets say there are two sites. www.whatever.com anf www.however.com
(these are examples, i have no clue whats actually on these sites)
Now on these sites would be information on the best time of the year to grow your eggplants in Nigeria.
If you did a google search with that criteria, you would get maybe www.however.com on the TOP of the list, but you would get www.whatever. about 4 pages later. Even though they offer the exact same content.
But lets do this..... lets make www.however.com put a link to www.whatever.com on its main page.
Now the nexzt time google sends its spiders out, it sees that link and thinks this:
"hmm, well since this incredibly popular site (www.however.com) has a link to www.whatever.com, then whatever.com must be a good site too. Ill go ahead and move it up in ranks!"
So now next time you do a search with the same criteria, you will still get www.however.com at the top of the list, BUT www.whatever.com wont be sso far down anymore.... hell you could go a lot farther up on the list.
so yes..... that is your googlebot lesson for the day. sorry.... ya got me goin

Which is why my site jumped the ranks when Brian linked to my site, and why Brian is awesome.
... Cause for some reason Google likes Brian - Google is NOT Schwippy

one more quick question. it explores all sub directories, right? so if i had good content in, lets say, my forum. but the site was just for looks. would i get a good ranking for my forum?
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 11:25 am
Yes - But trust me... Your forums suck...
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 11:35 am
you havent even seen it.
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 3:38 pm
and usually forums dont get good ranking anyways...... just because of the way they work 
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 4:09 pm
