There are various ways of registering with search engines:

• The Webmaster can submit the site by hand to each search engine.
• Consider whether automatic submissions are worth the cost (many of which 'guarantee' ranking).
• Try the free submission sites available (which usually do not "guarantee" ranking) ,

Take some time to look at Web sites such as:

• Search Engine Watch (http://www.searchenginewatch.com/), which explains in detail how the different search engines really work, and helps with ways to get higher rankings in the searches. (Ranking is discussed in the next section).
• Promotion World (http://www.promotionworld.com/tutorial/300.html ) is the section specific to submitting to search engines) which provides an overview of submitting to search engines, along with tips on how to submit to specific search engines, such as Infoseek, AltaVista, Excite and Hotbot, to name a few.
