SEARCH ENGINE/DIRECTORY SUBMISSION Once you have your work at home, mlm home business, or whatever type of site you want built, you will want to submit it to the search engines so people can find you. One of the best places to start is the Open Directory Project (DMOZ). Once you get listed with DMOZ you have a much better chance of getting listed with other major search engines such as Google and Yahoo! Here is the link to DMOZ (it is free to submit your site): DMOZ.org. And, while I’m on the subject of listing your site, I must tell you that at this link (where you can get some free programs when you sign up for their inexpensive web hosting), one of the free programs is “Hello Engines” which is a great program for submitting your site to hundreds of search engines and directories. (I believe the free software may be a limited time offer, so you may want to check them out soon. Here is the link again: click here.) Below are some links to other Search Engines and Directories to submit your website to for free, be sure to come back often as I will be updating this page constantly.
PopularMost.com - Popular Directory Search Engines Web Directory Here is a place which lists hundreds of Perfext.com (Typeless search engine) There are also many other home business Directories you can and should list with. Below are a few sites which list directories where you can submit your site. The best thing about listing with search engines and directories is that most of them do not require a reciprocal link, therefore Google treats such one-way links a little differently (i.e. they hold a little more weight when considering Page Rank). Here are a few places to get you started. Most of these sites offer free site submission: Member of the 1 2 3 Link We are listed at AskShop.co.uk store directory Net Crawler Directory Website Promotion World Site Index EZILON SEARCH Internet Search Engine Database www.ZEPTI.com Web-Beacon Family Internet Directory

ABOUT DOMAIN NAMES What is a Domain Name? Basically, it is the NAME of your website (MLMWonders.com). Simple eh? So, where do you get one? Well, it depends on how much you want to spend on one. You can possibly get a free domain name when you sign up for a free web hosting with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or with the search engines such as YAHOO Geocities. Just remember when you get a free web site with a Domain Name your domain name wil be part of a longer name, such as ca.geocities.com/randywee007/index.html . Quite long eh, that is why registering your own Domain Name with a reputable company that provides them is well worth the money! And, as the experts tell me, it is much better for your rankings on the major search engines. It will be much easier to remember a home business name like www.mlmwonders.com than the one above, don't you think? (That’s what I thought too so I bought it!) A domain name serves as a unique identifier for your work at home, mlm home business or personal web site, and for your e-mail addresses. It is low cost and simple to register a domain name, and because each domain name is only available to one person, it's important to snatch your name as soon as possible (good ones are going fast!) to protect your online identity. I hope you get the hint here, if you have a name in mind, register it now! Good names are being taken at a rate of thousands per day! Don't let someone else get the one you want! I actually was going to register a new one for myself but it was already taken. So I had to come up with one that was easy to remember and not too long. (Don't you just hate coming up with a "killer" name only to find out someone else is already using it?) If you intend to buy domains for speculation (or to keep while your site is still being prepared), then it is not necessary to purchase web hosting immediately. Many domain registrars will offer a "domain parking" service (often free) allowing you to keep the domain ready but "on hold". I recently registered a Domain Name for my wife's craft business (www.WalnutWonders.com) even though I havn't yet built a web site for her. Actually, because of the power of the internet today, she doesn't feel she is ready to "Go Big" yet so we'll just keep the name 'parked' until she is. I registered with this Domain Registration company. It has excellent service and the price isn't bad either:
I mentioned that Free domain names will probably be quite long, however, I neglected to tell you that Free isn’t always bad! The company I have my sites hosted with is probably one of the best hosting providers on the internet. They have excellent hosting packages which (most of the packages) include free domain names (your own domain name not part of a longer name) like www.mlmwonders.com (mine) and free software to help you build and market your web sites. You can (and should) check them out here before you decide on a hosting package. There isn’t a whole lot more to say about Domain Names other than to impress upon you that if you have one in mind you should register it now!

ABOUT WEB HOSTING Building a web site and having it on your computer will not do you a bit of good. What you need to do now is to find a good web host and transfer your pages to it. A web hosting company provides storage space for your files (web pages), and the admin facilities to run a web site using those files. Once again, there are free and paid hosting services. You can start with a free one if you wish (like Bizhosting.com). Some have both free and fee based hosting. One thing I must mention though is that some (even most) free hosting services won’t let you link to any banners you have on your site. This means you won’t be able to do any banner exchanges or advertising unless you have somewhere else to ‘Park’ your banners. This is an opportune time for me to let you know that if you want to use a free hosting service and still want to do some banner advertising, you can ‘park’ your banners with MLM Wonders for just pennies per day and do all the banner advertising you want.
