(Free web site listing) Is there away to get my web site listed free in search engines?

Question

Tried everything including SEO software for over a year.

My site is http://thefifties.home.att.net

What am I going wrong? Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Is that a free-hosted site? It appears to be only 3 pages in size. Since search engines compete to provide the most relevant content to their search traffic, you "might" get listed but competing websites will very probably outrank you by the droves, essentially meaning no one will see your listing anyway.

You need to consider other traffic sources.

Answer 2

Here are three ways to get your site listed for free in search engines:

1. Begin article marketing at ezinearticles.com This is a great way to drive traffic to your site and if you do some basic keyword research you will be able to have your articles listed on the first page of google in 2-3 days. The beauty of article marketing is that you include your website in the resource box at the bottom of the article. So when people click on it, you know they are extremely targeted visitors that are arriving at your site.

2. Advertise your website on some common forums in your product market. If your site provides quality content then it will spread like wildfire this way.

3. You need to learn some basic HTML code so you can add code that will make money for you instantly. This has been a marketing secret used by some of the most prominent websites in the world for sometime now and is an awesome way to make some money with your website.

Submit your products to Google Product Search , Yahoo Online Shopping, MSN Online Shopping, and other major sociall shopping network sites like Kaboodle, Style Feeder, Wists, Ohmybuzz, etc.

18). Photo Sharing - Share your product pictures and make them public. Let your friends se it and rate it too (Flicker, Picassa, Photo Bucket, Picli, etc.)

22). Widget / Gadget Development - Develop some Widget / Gadget applications (Poll, Game Widgets) for your website in Facebook, Myspace and make them public. Let your friends and others Vote / Play it and you'll get visits.

23). Try to get a content link from the sites / blogs related to your site theme. That is getting a link from middle of their site content with your anchor text (like Wikipedia). We know that it is hard to get but it is more natural and has more weight age in the search engine point of view.

24). Go for CPC (Adsense) & PPC (Adwords) Ad campaigns with your targetted keywords.

You have to be very careful while doing these things. Don't spam or over do it. Whatever you do just plan and execute it. Otherwise you'll get adverse effects.

All the best..!!! :)

Answer 4

Well first off you don't need websites that say they will submit their site for free. Most of the time it doesn't work, but your site needs a lot of work.  You need to get backlinks to it by doing hardlink exchanges, social bookmarking submissions, article writing, and writting a blog about it.  Also you need to consider retyping a new title with more keywords in it and do your metta tags.  

Here are the SE sources to submit your site to.
