Re: search engines

URLs are added manually. You have to submit them after all! You have
to do that on *each* search engine/directory. The difference is in
what happens after the submission. Hotbot has a spider which will
index your site, directories like DMOZ will have one of the editor to
review your site and added...

I do not have a list of engines which penalise for keyword repetition
with me. I mentioned Hotbot & Altavista to give an example (HotBot I'm
sure of since I was reading an article on it's development written by
one of the authors of the engine about a month or so back and
remember) Anyway, I'm digressing... ;-)
