Best way to register your web site?

[Mark Fulop]

Hello I can use yext but they charge 500 dollars. Not that its not worth it but someone once told

me there was another way that charges 3 dollars for each search engine.

Do you have any suggestions?

You can do it yourself - two different options:

1) go to Google webmaster tools. You'll need to create a login and verify the domain is yours. Then you can submit it for search. It takes ~10 minutes if you've never done it before, and 2 minutes if you have.

Then follow up and do the same thing with yahoo and bing. You can do other search engines too, but I don't know anyone who uses them.

2) get you site linked to by other sites. Do some blog posts, anything to get your website published. (I don't know the rules here on BP, but I think you can even add it to your profile).
Search engines will follow the links and a start indexing your site.

The best solution is to do both. #1 'primes the pump' and #2 gets you higher in search rankings.

If you do decide to pay someone to help you market your website and help with SEO, make sure they are working for you. There are a LOT of companies out there that will promise you the SEO world. Few will do what it actually takes which is real marketing to make it happen.
