xoom.com . . WARNING, may cause crash. New: free web sites, etc. Had error 1/25/99 & couldn't join.

-------- Web Development, etc. --------
www.submitshack.com: Submit Shack. Much better than the following. Just enter info, click, and it goes to 400 search engines. Let's see what happens

I can't recommend the following yet, but here's what happened when I tried it. I spent one, solid hour and got about one-half through it. You need to enter info about yourself and your site, which is lost if you want to come back and finish the job. Of about the 17 sites I tried to enter, about one-half either wouldn't open, wanted the data reentered, wanted more info but wouldn't take it, or said the info was wrong and wouldn't take it. This could be a good tool, but be ready to spend a lot of time. P.S. Their logo is here cause they ask users to do it in exchange for the free service. I do like the "tune up your web site for free" service.

Submit your page to 34 sites for free!
www.pcdata.com: PC Data, tracks software sales
