Q. How do I get listed on Yahoo, Google and other search engines?
A.By many estimates, 80 to 85 percent of traffic to a given Web site is from a search engine listing. It is very important to have a high listing in the major search engines. Most of these engines are "crawler-based", which means as long as there is a link to your site from another site that they have already found, they will eventually find you. However, there are certain steps you can take to get listed more quickly and higher.
The second is to get other sites to link to you. How do you do this? Well, having a great site is one way. Filling your site with excellent content will make others want to link to your site. Another way to get inbound links is to ask others in your field to link to you, or to exchange links. Inbound links are the best way to increase your Google Page Rank, which is a measure of how important your site is.
