Search Engine Resources

This is a very incomplete list of free and paid search engines and internet search resources to which you may submit your site for indexing. Several of the free sites now also have paid submissions which allow a greater number of page submissions, and faster indexing. These paid services are worth the money if you can afford the money and the time, and the income will hopefully help assure the continued existence of these valuable sources of information. However, many business web sites have managed to build up their business relying only on free submissions and their own time.
