But you can submit it yourself too. (without paying).
And of course it all depends on the words you put in there somewhere (meta somethings???)
The website I was talking about was http://home.planet.nl/~wijnb086/
If you type in 'Discover Australia in google, it comes out on the second page at the top!
And typing it into the dutch version of google (www.google.nl), takes you to place number 7
( I didn't make it btw, my husband the web designer did (coming to Perth in July btw Joanne
. Just kidding!)I'm sure you've already plenty of pm's offering?!

Hi,
I already looked and yes as i said <miles back , DMOZ is the most important search engine to submit to, its also FREE and powers most of the search behind Google
Amongst others i mentioned in the list are also free

Talking about all this reminds me I have to change our address everywhere.
The home.planet one comes from our Isp, but because we're moving, we're moving it.
It's already up at www.discoveraustralia.tk (webspace from yahoo).
I better go submit that one everywhere! Not that it's important for us, but it's fun!
And I have to tell all those australia starting pages we're on, to change the link!!

website design
Hi Joanne, some interesting comments made on this post! Not sure some of them particularly help you but that's the risk in posting! I could possibly help with your web project depending on your needs. I am moving to Perth this summer having just built a multimedia dept in a uk agency for the last 6 yrs. Having been a successful designer for 15 yrs I feel I have quite a lot of knowledge about design. I have built and designed websites for the RNLI, The British Army, Barclaycard etc etc. I am looking to set up in Perth and am currently building 2 sites for local businesses here in Dorset in my spare time. We have our Visas but are waiting to sell our house so I have some spare time available at the mo. If you want to PM me your ideas/thoughts then I will be happy to give you some ideas on cost and some assistance in looking at marketing ideas etc. I have contacts in both UK,AUS and the US regarding domain registration and hosting and have lots of knowledge regarding domains,DNS hosting, bandwidth reqs, search engines (keywords meta tags etc) e-marketing, email marketing, etc etc.
If you want references I can give you several

One of my webs sites has never been submitted to any search engine, mainly because I never really finished it, but it currently comes 4th place in a google search in Australia, when people look for the two main words of the product.
Its because of the Meta words, as Simone said.

Google uses a pattern matching algorithm that has nothing to do with meta keywords.
Do a Google search for "origin midi". Without even trying, I'm first on the list.
It's all pattern matching.
Still ,what would I know?

Quite worrying, bearing in mind its a forum to share views not force your opinion down peoples throats.

Wot a crock of absolute fuqn codwallop !!!!
Search engines will not rank you unless you submit your search engine, ffs man have you not learnt ANYTHING !
$130 dollars is the offer netrigsty offer for 2 years + free hosting ya FUQWIT !! try doing some research before ya start
Google is the only one that counts.
.com.au are actually a very vital and significant domain to purchase, and i wont explain but im sure a quick search on the net will suffice , !
Re: not requiring a .com.au name if you are in Australia,
If you wish to sell goods via a website, within australia, you are required to do so, via .com.au domain name, that im pretty sure about, but would apologise profusely if im incorrect
Advice:
Try reading the nature of the enquiry from the beginning rather than jumping in , this lady wants a cheap website, produced and hosted.

Many millions of ppl, some who own .ORG names think producing a website and chucking it on the web, will get you noticed ! Some even do classy scripts, and awesome flash presentations, but alas their site sits at the bottom of the PILE gathering moss like a rotten egg !
<owns 19 websites at present>
Wavsworld.com, which i owned and sold some 18 months ago, was ranked number 1 on every search engine worldwide. We had Hits approaching 2 million per month, with a bandwidth of 200gb per month !!!
If you meant wavesworld.com, then that one is in the US and has been owned by the same guy for 4 years. I emailed him and asked him.
Sorry, Timber Floor au, I call BS on nearly everything you've written here. If you are right, I'll say sorry. If not, then oh well.

i created a wee site for myself. no big deal, just a site about a fishing club. i got some free web space with my isp. shoved on the web,submitted to a few free subbies and hey presto!!!
most search engines pick it up, i think. but im not fussed. i get loads of feedback from other anglers by email.
thats all i wanted from it. took me ages to build it though and i tinker most nights with it. well i did till i moved here.
the problem now is. if i want to tinker with it from here, its gonna cost me. cos i dont get free web space with bigpond.
any help on this would be great. ive managed to work out that i will need to change my url. but hey life a bitch.

Prove it. Go on. Prove it that blowing money on SEO's will make your Google rank higher. Want me to link you to Google's page that more or less dismisses that theory? As for Alexa's rank, OMFG, who cares about Alexa? Most people are trying to remove Alexa's tracking cookies from their computers.
Google is the only one that counts.
I searched and found no reason other than it's the commerical TLD for Australia.
If that was law, it'd be challenged and overturned in a heartbeat. Quite a few Australian based companies just go with .com
For which I gave advice.
I get noticed without even trying. I know the way search engine spiders work.
Name them; I'll be only too happy to run whois queries on them.
According to a whois, wavsworld.com was created in December 2003 and has been parked at a webhotel since that date. Did you spell it right?
If you meant wavesworld.com, then that one is in the US and has been owned by the same guy for 4 years. I emailed him and asked him.

I never mentioned SEOS, or submitting via them, i disagree with the practice.
I mentioned submitting URLS to SEARCH ENGINES
Quite a fundamental difference.
And i meant as i type WAVSWORLD !! check the spelling
