Make The Best Free Search Engine List Even Better

You can help make our list even better by making suggestions and not getting upset if we ignore them, and sending us updates if you find bad links or search engines we have not found yet.

To keep search free, please support as many of the free search engines and directories as you can. More and more we see a trend toward systems charging for inclusion, pay-per-click, reciprocal links, and paid listings. While we all need to make some money, many of the larger search engines and directories seem to care less and less about the small business site owner who has little money to spend and may not know what are the best ways to promote and market their site.

All web site owners should support the small search engines and directories. By doing this you encourage competition and help sites that are more interested in providing a quality service with good search results than making millions. As they get older, that may change, but if they get some help and they also help you, then the money should come in time and they are less likely to have to "sell out" as we see more and more systems do.

Think some search engines and web directory sites are too small and not worth your time? Maybe some aren't, but most are. While you may not get much traffic from these sites for months or years until they get more popular, there is a chance you will have a link that will be indexed and help with your site's link popularity. And it's not just having links, but the quality of those links that are important. Having links on popular sites and having links that have been in place for an extended time will benefit your site.

The relationship between small business web site owners and search engine and directory owners must improve and there must be more awareness of how each should trust and depend upon the other. Search engines and directorys need good content, and web sites need good traffic. Site owners need to have good sites and make good submissions and never use spam optimization methods and never submit junk to search engines.

If you are a search engine or directory owner and have a business idea, a request, or just a question, please let us know. If you like or do not like what we are doing, please let us know. If you are interested in joining a group of search engine and directory owners, please consider visiting www.seoby.org and see if their model of "submit-once, list-everywhere" fits your business model.
