So, that your site gets found by the various search engines and the directories. There are lot of confusions in submission to search engines and web sites. Here, I would attempt to clear this confusion. A detailed study of search engines and web index will sure help solve this dilemma.

Search-engines

When you submit your website to a search engine, it reads your site meta-tags, looks their relationship with the articles, indexes you website and assigns a list to your site according to the formula it uses. Here, you must understand that by publishing your website to a search engine does not mean that you'll start getting high-traffics right after its distribution. This simply ensures that now the search engine is aware of your site and its pages and would place you in its SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) according to your list in its index.

You need to have read often about the offers for submitting your website to thousands of search engines for a fee, regardless of small or large.

Web sites are different with respect to search engines. A se uses its algorithm to list and position a website through its normal moving process while a web directory is defined into several categories and subcategories where it includes the internet sites presented. In this way a web directory is recognized as an expert catalog of sites. Here you select a category and subcategory for your site and submit your site to it.

This ensures that your presence in a specific category may attract a targeted guest. A lot of the search engines use these sites to update their data.

These directories might be classified in-to free directories and paid directories. Typically, free websites get somewhat additional time to list the web sites. While the settled directories list the posted websites immediately. Some good free directories are DMOZ, Yahoo!, Globally Index, AbiLogic, Gimpsy, JoeAnt. GoGuides, and however, good settled websites could be named as Arielis, BOTW, BlueFind, Microsoft bCentral.

Before publishing your site review your site thoroughly and ensure that your site has no broken or dead links. Write a suitable description of the site to put in to the description area of distribution form. Search carefully the categories and subcategories before selecting the class for your site. They normally offer you to suggest one if you don't look for a appropriate one.
