Modern steamboats are powered by search engines, generally much safer than steam. Here's our collection. Also, you can inspect our web tool collection, below. You may find something useful if you are building a web page. Apologies for any broken links.
Search Engines
When you are ready to list your site on the Internet, install meta-heads on your index page Meta Head Generator (Meta Headers go after the /title but before the /head)
WordTracker.com Helps you choose keywords that have power
For more info. on Search Engines, visit The Chicken's Guide To Search Engines
Check your meta heads at this site:
Scrub the Web
Once good Meta Heads are installed, submit your URL to the following sites. Whenever possible, i have provided a link directly to the submit page, but links change all the time. So as an alternative, look for the links "add URL," "submit URL," "add your site," etc. [Webmaster's note: Some search engines charge a fee for registering your url. We've moved these to the secondary list below. At our last check, these following sites still offer free URL registration.]
Yahoo! | Alta Vista | What U Seek | Scrub the Web | Starting Point | DMOZ (formerly Gnuhoo) you choose a category - automatically adds your site to Netscape, Google, AOL and Hotbot
Search engines search other search engines, so if you have good meta headers and you submit your site to the search engines above, the rest will also find it.
Here's a list of search engines:
Lycos | Teoma | Ask Jeeves | Starting Point - choice of several search engines | DMOZ (formerly Gnuhoo) DogPile | ix quick | Hooting Owl | WebCrawler | Go.com (formerly InfoSeek) | Multimeta | Northern Light | Netscape | Alta Vista | Excite | AOL | Hotbot (Lycos) | Snap | I Won | Google | Go To | Planet Rider (travel sites) | Locate | Scour the Net | MetaCrawler | Looksmart | Momma.com
