Submit your site free to the top search engines and directories
We used to have a single automated submission form on this page.
But most of the leading search engines now do not accept such submissions. So we
now give links to the search engines' submissions pages (i.e. the "Add URL"
pages). In fact, we link to the "add URL" pages of the search
providers from which the "search engines" actually get their search results.
