I registered my site, but it doesn't turn up in searches. Sponsored links?

Please allow about 2-4 weeks for the search engine's database to be updated. To determine if your site was cataloged do a very specific search based on your content -- if your site shows up then you know it was cataloged, but that you just don't score well for normal searches, (see faq above).  If your site does not turn up, contact the search engine staff directly, most have "mailto" links from their home pages, and let them know. Many times they manually increase your score and/or double check to make sure your site is cataloged.

One of the most effective ways of promoting your site is by buying "keyword combinations" with the major search engines. That will make your site come up as a sponsored link and give you a more prominent position.  The two major places you should go for such information is Google Adwords (for Google searches) and Overture (for other major search engines).  They both offer reasonable pricing and very good statistical reports to let you know how effective your ad campaign is.
