Re: Web site promotion

My site appeared in a Google search a very short time after submitting it (7
weeks) and I don't think a lot of people put a link to my site on their web
pages.
Google keep telling about their system for ranking the pages after the
number of links to them, but they also search for words in the body of the
pages, so this is very important also.

I've had problems getting with dmoz, too, because of the lack of
editors. Then, a couple of times, I've even tried applying to be an
editor, (for other topics I'm interested in), and never got a response.
I'm getting better luck using Overture.
The best way to get into Google more quickly, bypassing dmoz, is to have
plenty of links to your site from RELEVANT sites (download the Google
bar. It's got a page ranking indicator that shows the "importance"
Google puts on different sites, as well as an automatic backwards link
checker).
Google and Yahoo keep playing footsie back and forth, but now Yahoo is
switching to Inktomi as its "spiderer", so it might be beneficial to pay
for the Yahoo $299 to get in their index, to help on Google, too.

Yes, I always register my clients sites with dmoz.  The problem is, most
categories that fit don't have volunteer editors, so the sites stay
unlisted.  Even though I submit and optimize for google, they usually
don't list unless you're on dmoz first, so between a rock and a hard
place.
