Australian Search Engines & Directories

• Yahoo! Australia  - [ submit url ]
  Yahoo! Australia Local Search. Yahoo is currently building up this database so get listed while it's free. This involves filling out a relatively small form with your business details, etc. but not too tedious. Definitely worthwhile registering with the new Yahoo Local Search directory... it won't always be free! 
• WebSearch - www.websearch.com.au  - [ submit url ]
  Australian and New Zealand search engine. Google pagerank: 7
• Gumtree - www.gumtree.com.au  - [ submit url ]
  Post free ads (run for 90 days). A bit time consuming to register for your free ad, however you do get a solid link back to your site. Google pagerank: 5. 
• Ausfind - www.ausfind.com.au  - [ submit url ]
  Search engine and directory of Australian businesses. An online registration is required as part of the site submission process but probably worthwhile. Google pagerank: 4.

Major Search Engines & Directories

NB: Before submitting to any of the major engines and directories listed below, do a URL search to see whether your site is already in their database. To do this, simply click on the left-hand side links to take you to that engine's home page and then type in your website address into the search box.
eg. Type in.. www.mydomain.com.au and see if you are listed. If your site is already listed, there is no point to doing further submissions. In fact, you might annoy them.... so don't!

• Google - www.google.com  - [ submit url ]
  Submit to Google if it will make you feel better. However the best way to get results inGoogle is via links to your website fromother sitesthat are frequentlyvisited by the Googleindexing robot. 
• dmoz - www.dmoz.com  - [ submit url ] 
  This is the great volunteer directory that was intended to become the 800lb gorilla of the search scene. Sadly it has now deteriorated to the point that it can take months (or years in some cases) to get your site listed. Do it if you want, but don't have any expectations of success! 
• MSN - www.msn.com  - [ submit url ]
  Make sure you submit to MSN as this engine is currently receiving 'billion-dollar-attention' from its parent company, Microsoft. A super-easy submission, worth doing... RIGHT NOW!. 
• Alexa - www.alexa.com
  To submit your URL: First search for your domain, and when your domain result appears, click on "Overview" (under the heading "Explore This Site" and then click "Correct errors and omissions in this listing" at the bottom of the result page.
• About.com - about.com 
  To submit to About.com: Select the appropriate category where you would like a listing, then click the "Help" link in the menu on the left. You should see details about how to request a link for that particular category.
• Scrub The Web - www.scrubtheweb.com  - [ submit url ] 
  A very easy submission process on this engine. 
• Jayde - www.jayde.com  - [ submit url ]
  Google really likes this long-standing business directory, and this is a place to start publicising your new website. Just fill out the initial form and then you will receive a couple of emails with clear instructions to ensure your site goes into the most appropriate category in the directory. 
• ExactSEEK - www.exactseek.com  - [ submit url ] 
  Definitely worthwhile listing in this active search engine, although you do have to register as a member, however it is FREE and you are allowed to register up to 10 websites per membership. 
• Top 50 - www.zensearch.com  - [ submit url ]
  You may submit your web site information for inclusion in their directory index. Simply fill out the form and press submit.
• CANLinKs - www.canlinks.net  - [ submit url ] 
  Emphasis on Canada related links, but accepts submissions from elsewhere. A trifle time-consuming but probably worthwhile.
• InfoTiger - www.infotiger.com  - [ submit url ] 
  Quite a popular minor search engine, and a very easy submission process. 
• Subjex - www.subjex.net  - [ submit url ] 
  A very easy submission process, although I am not familiar with this minor search engine. 
• Abacho - www.abacho.co.uk  - [ submit url ]
  You definitely need to register on this very popular European search engine.
• Illumirate - www.illumirate.com  - [ submit url ] 
  You need to search this directory to find the most appropriate category, and then drill down a few more levels until you see the "Add your site to this category". If you get lost, they have very good help files available. Do it if you've got the time :-)) 
• BusinessRanks - www.businessranks.com  - [ submit url ]
  A relatively straightforward submission process, however they do require a link back to their site.
• Sootle - www.sootle.com  - [ submit url ] 
  Another relatively straightforward submission process, however they also require a link back to their site. 
• mozDex - www.mozdex.com  - [ submit url ]
  mozDex is a new search engine that uses open source search technologies to create an open and fair index. You need to email your details to the adminstrator, but it seems a reasonably good search engine and probably worth listing with.
• Search-The-World - www.search-the-world.com  - [ submit url ]
  Features a human review process.  This one is probably OK, so give it a go.
• AccessWeb - www.accessweb.ws  - [ submit url ]
  This site requires you to register as a member in order to submit a URL. It appears to be free, but I haven't tried it yet.
• Search Hippo - www.searchhippo.com  - [ submit url ]
  Another directory seeking reciprocal linking, however it doesn't appear to be compulory.

Specialized Search Engines & Directories
