It's about time you created your first Web page; what took you so long? Those who started a couple of years ago were playing in open waters. But now the pool is full, and there's no lifeguard. The first question new page owners usually ask: how do I get it submitted to all those search engines? Slow down, Sparky. Don't spend too much money or time on submission sites and programs. You don't want random visitors -- you want targeted eyeballs. Instead of worrying about your Web rankings, you should be establishing links to sites with related content. Recognition is easier to establish this way (and that's the name of the game).
