Useful sites for submitting your web site

. Google is currently the search engine of choice for most people. You stand a better chance if you submit your site directly to the Netscape Open Directory Project. Yahoo is probably the best known web directory, and the hardest to get a listing in. You can submit a site for free with no guarantees, or pay £199 (and there are still no guarantees). HotBot is an open hierarchical Web directory, organized by subject. Before you submit your site, find the appropriate category for it and then click "Add URL." You can also get information on HotBot's other services at this site. OneKey provides the largest database of kid-safe sites. Select the relevant OneKey category from the list and then fill out the online form to submit your URL. Lycos is unusual in that it is both a search engine and a directory. You choose whether you want a free submission, or whether you want to pay (it can be up to £2780!). There are no guarantees for the free service. (And the last time I clicked the "submit your site" link, the page wasn't found.) Snap.com Submitting your URL to this directory is free and is now part of the NBCi and InfoSpace directories; visit the submission instruction page. Alternatively, you can use an automatic submission tool like ScrubTheWeb or Addme. These can be useful, but manual submissions are best for the most important search engines.
