I just signed up for Yahoo WebHosting in the past month, but it has been almost a month, and I am still having trouble getting people to my site. One major problem I notice is that my domain is not appearing in search engine results. I have tried both yahoo and google searches and don't get any results for webpence.com, which is the name of my domain. Since I am new to this, I am not yet familiar enough with html or metatags. Instead I have tried some of the different yahoo offered add ons like phpbb, nuke-php, WordPress, and also a blogspot account. I did find an all in one site submission tool and tried it, but it didn't seem to work except to ensure I get a bunch of junk mail. I was hoping maybe someone else had gone through this and could offer some advice or suggestions. Thanks in advance.

1) Submit your URL to major search engines.

For google go to

http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=

and

http://base.google.com

for yahoo go to

http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.htm

for msn it is

http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx

2) Add meta tags..i.e. keywords describing your website in meta tags.

3) add more incoming links to your website from other websites.

4)Share your website links with similar sites.

5) do have a sitemap.

6) prefer static html wherever possible.

7) One tip, which is less known that make a lot of pages like your index or default page and have hidden links to them all over your website
