That's right, that can of luncheon meat sitting in the fridge can also promote your web site. For very little cost, you can notify unlimited email accounts about your site and receive unlimited hits! :stickout Seriously though, there's always Adwords from Google. :) JayC 09-07-2002, 06:19 PM Originally posted by matt2kjones ok you are familiar with meta tags arn't you??? well, simply submit your site to google + altavista, and submit your site to all the relevant categorys on http://dmoz.org and then just wait1) Google ignores meta tags. 2) You should submit to only one category at dmoz. There is a "listing change" form from which you can suggest an additional category, after your site has been added. Submitting to multiple categories up front is considered to be "spamming" by dmoz; if you do it you'll likely not be listed in any category. nin 09-07-2002, 09:47 PM make a free porn site and you will get alot visits ;) MultiVol 09-07-2002, 09:51 PM Originally posted by akash a free way: have good content....that is what motivates your members to come back and tell others about your site...

And of course they use NOARCHIVE, and ROBOTS, and even GOOGLEBOT. But they don't use meta keywords at all -- too easy to spam. mcfcforever 09-19-2002, 05:49 PM one tip, change your name to Mcfc...not mufc...mite put people off :D |
