general search question...

Help!!

I'm creating  a report on Search Engines for a group of website owners, and
thought I'd survey the "graphics" list for your opinion. What Search Engines
do you consider the most important when registering? Do many of your
customers choose the "pay for performance" route? I'm an "old school" coder
who used to believe that if you coded the site correctly, and registered
everywhere, the website should show up. It seems that the "bidding game" has
taken over.

Granted - I know this is a graphics listserv, but I know a lot of you also
act as the primary webmasters for your sites. What do you think? Should
sites "pay" or "bid"?

Thanks!
