The most popular search engines, like Netscape Search, AOL, Google, Lycos, HotBot, DirectHit, MSN, and hundreds of others, all get their info from a specific database that has over 67,000 editors and 590,000 categories. You wanna get into the search engines - get into this database. And its not Inktomi.
Yea, there are certain tricks that will get you in the top 10 spots once you are in the database but you've got to get in first and that can be tricky.
As for those classes you went to, be careful. Technology changes very quickly on the net. Those tricks you once thought were the latest and greatest turns into old news quickly as these search bots constantly change how they spider sites and how they weigh links, keywords, etc. They even rotate the top listings to make it fair for other sites to get top billing.
