[2001-06-20] Submit site to announce it to the world!
NO, don't bother! It's a waste of time, and you'll probably just receive lots of spam.
Instead, submit your site to the major search engines and directories, monitor results, and resubmit only if your site isn't listed yet. (You have worked hard on page content, page title and keyword and description meta tags, haven't you?) Repeat this process for any new content you create.
[2001-06-07] How to Optimize for the Open Directory Project
As the Internet and search technologies mature, one thing remains clear - Internet search is most effective when the user is presented with a hybrid of results from a spider-based search engine and a human-edited directory. My conversation with Chris Tolles of the Open Directory Project shows that he firmly understands the importance of having both crawler-based search services and human-edited directories. The bottom line is that search engine marketing does not work if one or the other is ignored; therefore, it is important to focus search-positioning campaigns on both. The blend in fact benefits the user and the search engine marketer.
