The object of our efforts is to increase the number of hits on your home page. The easier it is for an Internet user to find your Web page, the more exposure your page will get. You will receive a monthly total of the number of hits on your site, enabling you to benchmark the growth of your Internet presence. The first step in generating activity at your Web site is making your home page accessible to users of the Internet. There is no single database which catalogs all the pages on the World Wide Web.
Different users become familiar with different ways of locating and accessing information.
The primary method is to submit your home page to all available searching and indexing resources. We have compiled a list of these resources, and are always on the lookout for new ones when they become available. Newcomers as well as experts rely heavily on a Yellow Pages style of indexing , which are lists of Web pages listed by topic for easy browsing. There are dozens of popular subject trees , or Virtual Libraries , and they all allow listings to anybody who takes the time to submit the information. Another powerful tool for finding information is called a search engine , which retrieves lists of Web pages that match user-supplied search criteria.
