PLEASE NOTE I AM A TOTAL NOVICE.

OK, So i built my web site. Now how do i get people to look at it. Do i have to pay for my site to be listed in google? If not how do I set this up?

go to google and submit your site

then when the index bots get around to things they will index your site and maybe after a week or perhaps longer your site will show

You do not need to pay for any of the big three search engines. Go to each site in turn and go through their registration process.

Submit an xml sitemap to each search engine
and also place your web site links on other websites to improve link popularity

you can submit a sitemap at :

The site map is a very good idea. Go to Google and enter " site map creator for websites". Google plus others have free online software that will create a site map for you with instructions on how to enter it on your site.

It is suggested by many experts that you make the site map a part of your website and list it in your menu. That helps for some reason.

It is probably better to use the "Google" online software for site map creation because there may be a chance of problems with other software with "Google"

I was wondering why you were resurecting this ancient post then realised that Bravenet have cleaned out a huge amount of spam from this forum so it came back onto page 1.

Maybe with a clean forum we will see more real questions posted here.

Read up about (SEO) search engine optimisation. Just beware of the sharks. As a rule, if something sounds to good to be true it usually is.

Most of what you read about SEO is likely to be out of date as the big search engines keep their algorithms secret and change them frequently. Your best bet is to go to the specialist Google forum at webmasterworld.com

Hey you need not pay to google. Only do on page and off page optimization for your site and visitors will come on your site.
