How do I submit my site to Search Engines for free on my own?

Submitting your website address to most search engines can be done absolutely free. By submitting your website to the three major search engines you can help increase traffic to your website. In addition, many of the smaller Search Engines obtain their listings from the top three - Google, Yahoo! and MSN Search - so your site can actually end up listed on hundreds of Search Engines and Directories. To submit your site to Google, Yahoo! and MSN Search, just click to these sites, and follow the instructions listed: <blockquote> Google Add URL<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl">http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl</a> </blockquote> <blockquote> Yahoo!
