Wow that is a huge list. I wonder if Aspen would want to sticky post it in the forum. I know there are basically only 3 SE's that matter, but it might be cool to try a few of these.

Filter out the ones that are just dinky PPCs with no traffic, and the ones that exist to just get your email address.
isedb.com does a fine job categorizing places to submit your site -- there is no need to reinvent the wheel. |

really, that list is too broad. a good number of those sites will not be worth submitting to.

Always nice to have someone give you credit..... this is our list and we are updating it monthly at www.best-free-search-engine-list.com.
It is available in 7 different formats including Excel, and it IS broken into categories of our own invention. Look for the category key that will explain it. Please contact us with any questions or updates. You can add some or all of this list to your web site, just give us credit as the source (please)...

What a great list, but, sorry to ask this, what's the point in submitting your site to all these URLS? what do you win from it? Visits? PR? Links?

Thanks for asking. Yes, that is the idea. But in this case, the message is about 5 years old so many of those sites may no longer be valid. I would try to find a more current list if you want to submit your site...!

Does anyone really ever use these search engines? I can't imagine it's even worth the time to submit to them.

Some people do. but that's the whole problem isn't it? If people don't submit, the small directories can't grow and people don't use them. But if people submit, then the small directories have a chance to grow larger and be a better resource. But even if not many people use them, they still provide links to our sites which helps.

There are search engines and directories. Search engines index your site and store the information in their database. When someone (or something) requests information about your site, you appear in the listings. (Hint: you can save the URL that displays your site and post that somewhere and it will be found by spiders, who may or may not index the page and provide more chances to be found...)
Directories have a series of links that people (or spiders) can follow to your listing with them. The larger search engines spider sites and follow links and most sites don't have to submit to them to be found. Small search engines may or may not spider, and if they don't, you won't be listed if you don't submit to them. There used to be a lot of these, but now there are not so many. Directories are much more popular. |

Let's take one search engine as an example (let's call it Google for the sake of picking a name for it). Why would you expect that telling Google that your site exists and getting listed in their search results is going to generate backlinks for you that will affect how other search engines rank you in their results? |
