One very useful way to getting your site to appear in search engines is to do link exchanges, it is a bit old fashioned to link to a million sites and in some cases can do you more harm then good, especially if you look like you are exchanging only to manipulate your rankings on the search engines, but if you stick to ethical procedures then you will be safe and this is why I recommend you exchange with no more then 30 websites but always updating those 30 every few months to ensure you have exchanged to the best possible sources possible.

One link exchange program I found very good is Links Manager, it contains a backend that you can login to, to find all the best possible sites you can exchange links with based on the category you choose. You can also see what page rank the sites you want to link to is, as well as other information.

All you have to do is create a partners or resources page in your web site and install the code they provide to that page, as soon as you login to their system to find the sites you want to link to and once the site owners approve their link will appear automatically on your resources page, and your link will appear on theirs. It is very easy to use!

It is way too time consuming these days to go out looking for sites to link to doing it yourself, you can do it in fact I still do it, but at a very minimum just when it is really necessary. Using an automated program can really save you the time and stress!
