In addition to registering your site with the major search engines, it is important
that it be listed in the large human-compiled internet
directories. To get your site listed in a directory, you must find an
appropriate directory category, write a brief but descriptive synopsis of your
site and submit the URL. It can take several weeks before your
page appears in the directory, if it is accepted.
Open Directory
The Open Directory was purchased by Netscape in November 1998.
It uses volunteer editors to catalog directory submissions. Lycos, AOL, AltaVista and HotBot
use the directory listings from this internet directory service.
