SUBMIT YOUR WEBSITE TO THE SEARCH ENGINES FOR FREE
You can use the Submit-Express service to send your website to the Search Engines.   They will send your website to Google, Yahoo, AOL, iWon, ExactSeek, Jayde and about 20 other search engines.  Note:  You will be asked for an email address. Since some search engines send numerous commercially oriented emails, make sure that you do not enter an email address which you want to keep free of such emails.  Instead, consider getting a temporary email address at any of the free services (yahoo.com, hotmail.com).
