Ok thanks for the tips bcarl. I'll try to do some of those in the next few days and see how its works out.

Thanks for the replies. Very good info. So basically, from what I get out of this info is, if you want to get listed in seach engines like google and the like, there's going to be some time before you actually get listed. Regardless of if you get people linking to your site or if you submit your site yourself, Right?

Sounds like the only way to get in front of people quickly, if you're not listed right away, is to pay for it through google ad words and msn, and yahoo and stuff?

Yep pretty much, that's my understanding. brianj is the resident SEO expert though, so I'll defer to him

Yes and no. There are other ways of getting immediate attention, check out stumbleupon.com, I have an associate that listed his site and got 1000 unique visitors the next day! A brand new site.

or if your site is news worthy and techy, try sites like Digg. Tapping into a user community can be a powerful way to get the word out and its free!

Try blogs and other forums that are related to your site contents. Please do not jump in there and be spammy with your postings. Only post if it's relavent content. You're going to get the best traffic if your posting is on a relavent site anyway!

ok... you can try free community event calendars(I don't know what the web site is about though) or contact your local newspaper online blog editor... I could give you more specific ideas if I knew what the site was about, if you have a specific site in mind

There are other ideas. again, having a specific site it's easier to recommend ideas that have a better chance of succeeding!
