Top Ten Search Engines.

1. 
   Yahoo
Hard. First you must go to the section in which you think your web site should be added. Press the ADD URL button at the top of the page and they will start to walk you through a long registration process, several web pages worth, calling for keywords, description and lots of contact info.
You want the best you must work hard for it. Entire process can take upwards of 30 minutes. And that is if you already came prepared!
*UpDate! : This little trick will cut your registration time at Yahoo from 30 minutes or more to just 10 minutes!!!
The first thing you MUST DO when you reach the Yahoo site is to run a search by keyword where you think YOUR site should get listed. Yahoo will return you a top ten results based on your keyword entry. IMPORTANT! This also gives you the "Category" in which they are found.
The category is the single most time-consuming aspect about making a registration with Yahoo. Click on the top return for your keyword and then press ADD URL at the top of the page. You are now on your way to a speedy registration process with Yahoo!!!

5. 
   AltaVista Search Engine
Simple. Enter URL and press Submit URL. They strongly suggest the use of meta tags and just as strongly discourage multiple submissions.

6. 
   CNET, Search.Com
Difficult. Much like Yahoo, you must first link to your area of interest and then hit the Add URL button along the left side of the page near the bottom. Good Luck!

9. 
   Four11 Directory Services
Registers Your email address. Could not find reference to their acceptance of business listings of web site URL's.

---

10. 
    MetaCrawler
This site has no add feature. This is taken from their page:
"MetaCrawler is a metasearch engine. This means that it has no local database; it operates entirely by querying other search engines.
In order for your site to appear in search output, it must be indexed by one or more of the underlying search engines. go2net cannot add, delete, change, or otherwise influence the presence or absence of URLs in those engines."

---

11. 
    Lycos Search Engine
Simple. Enter URL and email address then press Add site to Lycos.
Don't bother registering every page in your site individually. The Lycos spiders will automatically register all additional screens shortly after your home page.
Your site will be spidered immediately. However, it will not be immediately available as it generally takes about 2-4 weeks to be listed with Lycos.
Do not register a URL with any of these symbols: equals sign (=), dollar sign ($) or question mark (?). Their robot is symbol-intolerant.

12. BigYellow: Your Yellow Pages on the Web
They list for a fee. This is taken from their site:
"How do I get my business listed in BigYellow?
