Darna wanted to know “How do you get a brand new website noticed by the search engines. Are those paid “we submit your site to all the search engines” submissions worth it?”
Submit to search engines? NEVER! Even though estimates range around only 50% of new sites get indexed(another way of saying found) It is not that difficult to get indexed.
There are lots of different ways. Forum posting, article submissions, blog commenting, etc. However, this is the best and easiest way. Submit an RSS feed of your site to the feed aggregation sites. This will bring the “bot spiders” screaming to your site like gargoyles from a horror movie.
So you may ask yourself, how do get one of these RSS thingies, and then what? It’s super easy Grasshopper 
1. Assuming that you have a “normal” HTML site versus a blog, go to FeedAge.com. You will have to register, but its free.
2. Click on “HTML 2 RSS” link (like the photo).
3. Type your website address into the bar and click the “Create RSS” button. You will get a page like the photo below (CLICK CONTINUE READING)
3. Click the link with the red arrow pointing at it (arrow is mine, its not on their website)
4. Choose category (I suggest “Green”) and click SUBMIT
5. Copy the feed URL into Notepad, Word, or any text editor, go to FeedAgg.com and submit again .
6. Wash, rinse and repeat for any/all your pages.
Here’s wishing a prosperous and great 2010 to all who read this!
