I just finished new website, did the pay per click thing for one day, it sucked $100 before I knew what hit me.
I need to know where to begin to submit to the various search engines.
Does that cost too? (Now that I'm $100 poorer!)
I've tried doing it myself and was please with my website, but I can't afford the PPC thing. Hate to think all my work was for zip!
Please help!?!?!?
Thanks,

You don't need to bother submitting to search engines, it's a waste of time. Spend some time and browse the SEO related threads in this forum, that will get you going in the right direction.

The most important aspect of SEO in the present SE climate is linking. You need links, preferably anchortext links with your keywords, pointing to your site.

It will take some time to see results if your keywords/phrases are competitive. Don't expect over night results like you get with Adwords.

Thanks for replying...

Ok, by linking, you mean with other sites? I don't mean to sound stupid (brain dead is more like it) but I have to admit, I don't even know how to link with other sites. I'm not understanding what you wrote about the anchor text links with my keywords pointing to my site. Also, how do I find out if my keywords/phrases are competitive like you suggest.

I've already spent about 3 months getting my site put together thru the homestead program, and I got alot of hits with the PPC method, but I just can't afford to continue that route. I don't mind spending more time doing what it takes, but at this point I'm lost. And they just don't give alot of information how to do things.

I believe when you wrote SEO you meant Search Engine Optimization?

I really appreciate your taking the time to write, but could you explain a little more. I'm willing to do the research and work to make it happen, but I need a little push in the right direction.
Thx,

Getting links from other sites is a lot of time and work. Start with submitting your site to directories like dmoz.org. There are 1000's of directories - do a Google search and you'll have plenty to choose from. Some make you pay to list, some are free, and some may require a recip (you link back to them) link.

You can also e-mail webmasters of sites directly, but that's time consuming and if you have new site you probably won't get a bunch of takers. Try a site like www.ipagerank.com.

Also, make sure to use link to your site in your signature in forums like this one. See my signature for an example.

The links in my signature are an example of anchortext.

There are dozens of ways to judge the competitiveness of a keyword or phrase, but one of the quickest indicators is how many pages have that phrase/word total. Do a quick Google search of the phrase you're after and see how many pages come back. 10's of millions and you know there's some competition. Couple hundred or thousand come back and you'll have an easier time.

There are dozens of other free tools and programs available to help judge the competition too. I'm sure some other members here will post their favorites.

PPC is effective, but expensive. SEO is effective, and can be for the most part free. It does take time though, and can be frustrating. If you really to want to use SEO to get traffic you'll have to be willing to really work at it and spend A LOT of time reading forums and researching. I believe forums are the best resource available to anyone involved or considering SEO.

Start with research, the forums will be your best source of info. While you're doing research, start your link building campaign. Your signature in this forum would be a great place to start

PPC is an effective method to market your site, and it's all about research and choosing the right keywords. The results are immediate. You can only be successful in this kind of campaign if you analyze your competition and select your kws carefully.

You can listen to what has been written about getting incoming links (and then the different insights into finding short-cuts in a link popularity game using trendy link building schemes) and it may eventually assist some mediocre to poorly crafted content in gaining the attention and the trust of the search engine or you can simply stay focused on delivering high quality, unique, optimized content (that is well linked internally). This SEO approach will indeed generate links too but they are naturally generated incoming links (the best types of incoming links) from webmasters who have visited the webpages and deem it worthy of additional visits.
