To speed up the process of getting your site indexed, they usually have a way for you to submit your site for indexing. You usually only have to tell a Search Engine the URL (address) of your site and it takes care of the rest. </p> <p><b>Directories </b><br />Directories are run by humans who review web sites and categorize them within their directories. This leads to a more abridged set of sites which can good or bad depending on what you're searching for. </p> <p>Yahoo and DMOZ are the two biggest directories on the web, but other important directories include local directories for your state, town, chamber of commerce, etc.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3273471266680534442-7918910368857123363?l=jpseotutor.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JP_SEO TUTORIALhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05734060127036339739noreply@blogger.com0
