To get in a search engine, you should submit your site. The Two Main Types of Search Engines Indices - An Index is a collection of the text off web pages that it has spidered or crawled, as it visits new pages it collects links from it, and visits the linked pages, and so on. It slowly makes its way around the web collecting more pages and links, updating the index about old pages and deleting pages that no longer exist or that have moved. Catalogs - A Catalog doesn't actually visit your page, instead you submit your URL, Title, and Description to it, and place it in the proper category. Often these are verified by a real person which usually delays entry a few weeks, but sometimes your entry is automatically added once you have submitted.
Catalogs are often more accurate in finding a page on a well known topic.
META tags are not used by many catalogs. To submit to yahoo, search for your category, then click the Suggest a Site link at the bottom of your category page. All rights reserved.
