Hi All,
Just finished my business website and was wondering:
How do I get my website onto all the big search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc)?
How long does it take for a search engine to recognise your site in the search results?
Does it cost to get your site to appear at the top of search results?

Its free to submit your website to google and yahoo etc.
heres links to add your website to searches.
http://www.google.com/addurl/
http://au.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/free/request
yahoo now requires you to create or have a yahoo account to list your site.
also with free listings, theres not much of a chance of getting a high rank unless you know a bit about optimising your website for search engines. Having your ad above the top free rankings costs money to have your ad there.
I advertise my website on google, but trying to make your ad effective without wasting your money is pretty tough.
i found a business that i get to advertise my website with the paid ads in google and they do a pretty good job with it, and they charge barely anything for their fees. they also optimised my website for heaps cheap and now im getting top 10 page rank for my businesses website and that ends up saving me more money as i dont have to pay for as many ads as people are finding my website for free. i really recommend them.
the link for them is http://www.diversedigitaldesign.com/
they have a referral program if you get a custom ad with them that will benefit both of us, you will get a free website address sticker for your car window or whatever and ill get 1/2 price fees for 2 months.

| i forgot to mention. It can take up to 2 weeks for your website to appear in search when you submit for free. Google accepted mine instantly when i submitted my site there. yahoo took a long time.

Another good way is to use social bookmarking sites like digg.com, stumbleupon, etc... telescope
These sites have very high page rank and google will pick them up really quickly.
We got our site picked up within days.
Hope this helps.
