I have a small website that was designed for use by my car club, I went to some of the car related search engines and submitted it, then swapped links with a bunch of other car clubs.<br><br>One day I Googled my website just to see if It would pop up and darn there I was all over the place, and in places that most websites have to pay for wow ain't that a trip<br><br><br>[color:purple]keep on truckin' brother</font color=purple><br><br>

the swapping of links really works. I read that the more your site is linked to from others really helps in search engine standings.<br><br><br>[color:red]Listen...</font color=red>
Yep... that is very true. So much so that I tell my clients not to bother with paying for those search-engine optimization companies and just to "link-trade" with as many sites as possible.<br><br><br>Click here to visit me.

It really depends on the demand of a category your submitting to. Your site can be listed seconds after you submit it to more then a year after you submit it. <br><br><br>Ryan<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by morserj on 04/28/03 05:23 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>
