How do I register my site in the search engines? That's my simple question. Also, how do I insert meta tages into my html....I need it explained to me like I was a retarded infant.... and could you explain, in english, what meta tags are exactly. Thanks a bunch.
Hi, I`m dutch so forgive me if my english is bad .
To refer to your second question:
Meta tags are information tags witch are read by search engines, so if you go to a search engine and you type in
"Flash" it searches webpages and reads the meta tags, which where filled with the information provided by you.
example:
If you wanted people to know who the auther is and copywright and or language, the meta tag would be :
<meta name="Author" content="Your name here">
<meta name="Copyright" content="© 2001 - Your name here">
Or if you would like to specify what the content of your site is, the meta tag would be :
<meta name="description" content="This site is all about flash and some HTML blabla bladiblabla etc.">
Or you could specify key words, then the tag would be:
<meta name="keywords" content="flash, internet, web design, bla, blabla, etc.">
so our basic meta tag would be :
<meta name="[here goes text]" content="[here text]">
In a website you can use as much meta tags as your heart desires, as long as you put them in the beginning of the <head></head>
thats all !!
I hope i`ve been helpfull (this is my first reply )

Thanks very much for your response. I've never done meta tags, and the html part of things scare me. Thanks again
Meta tags r tags that provide info about the page. One of them is the keywords tag. Meta tags r placed inside the <head>. Like:
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="keywords" content="one, two, three, four">
</head>
U can register manually by going to each search engine separatelly. There u can find instructions on how to register.
U can wait a couple of months (or more) for the sniffer robots to pass from your page.
U can use a submission program to do the work for u (this costs cause u must buy the program).
