Finding me in the Search Engines

A friend at work was Googleing for me the other day and he said he couldn't find my blog on the internet. I have found a website that will help me get listed in Google, and it could help you too if you have a blog or website.
Internet Search Engines FAQ is the home of some geeky SEO (Search Engine Optimization) guys who know all about how to get your website on the first page of Google. The first thing I have to do is list my site in some blog directories and web directories.
Although I said SEO was geeky, I actually find it quite interesting - it is a bit like doing a rubiks cube or something. Good brain exercise.

Searching, Searching...

Sometimes google sucks. The results for so many things are random and just wrong. That's when you need a good web directory like the Cheetah Find Web Directory.
Cheetah Find has comprehensive categories (over 200) with an integrated search tool. The great thing about it is that it doesn't just spider the web sucking in everything like google does, it only lists proper websites so that you get the good stuff that you are looking for.
Cheetah Find has some pretty good looking free web templates too, I need a template for this blog so maybe I will use one of theirs when I get time to get it done.
