Search Engines

You can't make a profit if you don't have any customers to sell to, so you have to attract customers to your site. Many potential Web buyers like to use search engines -- programs that help you search for things on the Web. Search engine technology acts as a directory, listing links to Web pages based on keywords. By registering your business with a search engine you can gain a competitive advantage by maximizing your traffic. Popular search engines include Google, Yahoo!, and Overture.

There are companies that can help you get your store listed on the main Web search engines, such as:
