Hallo, this is for the webmasters and site builders out there. Have you ever created a web site with no money and then attempted to get it into search engines where other people can access it, likewise on no cash? I'm getting frustrated because I have done the former but am having no success with the latter. Is there some way to get the site included in search listings without spending a fortune?

I'll tell you what the site is. It promotes a small magazine which I have started (or at any rate am trying to start). It seemed to me to be a good way to start a magazine with no finances, and then gradually build the thing up (who knows, maybe even go into print one day!!) But it's next to impossible if nobody sees it and I have to think of people who would be interested and then harass them by throwing the url at them on messageboards.

One of my biggest questions is, how and where do I insert metatags?? I don't have much knowledge of html and I made the website using a sitebuilder programme. The 1 search engine that I was successful in listing the site with (unfortunately not one of the "major" search engines) tells me that the site won't even come up if I don't have metatags.

I don't know if there are any tecchies on Mudcat, but if so--any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Isabel
