I want to start and promote a website. Is the search engine support "Add Me" a good place to start?

Most search engines will pick you up by seeing other sites link to you. The best way is to open a blog, and do some writing. If you have any friend with websites, ask them to link to you. regards, Vincent W. is Lead Developer of: http://www.powerfulchurchwebsites.com

It is a good resource to use, there are a number of other ways to promote your site too. Depending on the type of website traffic your looking forward there are several ways to get it free or for a price.

I recently finished James Martell's Affiliate Marketing program. He is one of the guru's of online webpubishing, etc. He has lots of good info in his handbook with lots and lots of resources. Check him out if you like (also within the handbook he suggests ezwebbuilder, which I now use...they have EVERYTHING you want to know - design, templates, marketing, etc etc etc). Great value. good luck! I've got 3 websites on the go, thanks to him and you don't need to be web saavy. just go step by step! http://www.work-at-home-net-guides.com/af/?lynngray

I would focuse more on your content. Make sure your site has its meta tags and keywords set up before submitting it to Google.

GoDaddy will likely be expensive for design. Try guru.com or craigslist for freelance web designers.
