Bid
on key words to rise to the top of the rankings! We can't afford
it, because the top ranking for "small business" today
(1/11/2000) went to BenefitMall.com for a whopping $4.10 per
search, but you might be able to do very well if you're in a
category without a lot of competition. |

URL is free of charge. It is not necessary to submit more than
one page from your website. Their crawler, Gulliver, can find
your other pages by following links from this one page. |

| Yahoo! |
Yahoo
is a special case. Pay careful attention to their requirements.
Unless you have a commercial site which allows you to use the
expedited review process, which gives you a decision within
2 weeks for $200, it may be six months before they pick up your
site, so you may need to keep trying every month. (Any more
and they think you're spamming them.) They are picky but fair
if you follow the suggestions. Yahoo allows you to get listed
as a featured company in the Yahoo Yellow pages for $15 per
month. Businesses now have the ability to include important
details in their Yahoo! Yellow Pages listings, such as hours
of operation, accepted payment methods, a link to a company
web site, and other such company information. Businesses that
choose this new, enhanced service are promoted as "Featured
Businesses" in the appropriate city or location. In addition,
the Featured Business will appear bolded in the regular listing. |
