Page is a not externally linkable

My view is to utilise the links. Time is a major issue involved here - if you want traffic, and you want it quickly, you have to consider one of the pay routes (whether that be Yahoo, Looksmart or, dare I say it, GoTo). Although, look carefully at GoTo's partners to see who's taking GoTo results. If you're happy to wait (and most people are not because they are impatient), use the links.

>So, what do think? If my primary site is already listed in Google, should all of my new sites go on a page of links on my primary site OR should I submit my new sites for indexing?
Ensure you have inbound links too - especially from sites already well placed in the indexes.
At the moment, the only major engines I will submit a site to (after I have established the inbound links) are Alltheweb (FAST), Google and NL.
If you're selling left handed, blue widgets for spaceships, I don't think GoTo is the best route.
If, on the other hand, you're into consumer-type products, then, I'd look more favourably upon GoTo.
