Neat because you can analyze links to a single page or the whole site. - Submit to Google Local via Google Business Center (now known as Google Places - Google Places Help Section - 30 Day Free Google Tags Advertising for Google Places users - Submit to Google Web Search via the regular submit form (I believe this is the slowest, least thorough method, but it's better to do this than nothing.) - Submit to Google News , Google News Sitemaps Help , Google News Help - Three Part Series I Wrote on Other Ways to Get Into Google News , and Why You'd Want to Do So [ Part 2 | Part 3] - Submit to Google Blog Search - Submit to Bing page 1 / 2
