nowadays, most serach directories are managed and ran by spiders (bots) that automatically follow through all the links of the internet. theoretically, all the sites in the internet should be reached by these spiders but that is hardly so, especially when considering personal webpages where there is seldom links to it from the rest of the internet. one of the few working search engine directories that is still managed by live humans is yahoo.com. so if you submit to yahoo.com and get successfully listed (youll have to wait 1 or 2 months), you will be indexed by other search engines who will follow through to your website through that link.

meta tags were used back in the mid ninties. they are no use nowadays because of spamming. one can easily get a very high rank in a search result while it may have nothing to do with the query by repetitively putting the query between the meta tags. its a good and novel concept theoretically, but hardly so in reality.

Thanks for your help. Any other recommendations?
if you want a short url to your website, i can provide you with a subdomain webspace for just 5$ a month for unlimited space and bandwidth. plus, ill ensure that you get listed in major search engines within 2 months.
