Toolkit, Links and More: Search Engine Submission

Web Site Submission

The Google Directory uses data from the Open Directory Project, which is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a global community of volunteer editors.
The Open Directory powers the core directory services for the Web's largest and most popular search engines and portals, including Netscape Search, AOL Search, Google, Lycos, HotBot, DirectHit, Ask, Clusty, Gigablast, Lycos, MSN, WiseNut, Yahoo, and hundreds of others.
