devleoping a site

[safeascake]

im in the middle well act im just at the start done about 20 pages of a pos 100 and just wondering should i upload what i done to a host and add it to search engings before i continue or should i just wait till i have finished it then submit it search engins? i havnt built up any links yet because its still in development. thanks

aslo what you guys think of a site wit - in them like #*$!-xxxx-xx-xxxxx.co.uk or xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk my name is gona consist of 4 words but i like the look of the - speperating them but im unsure if this is good practice for search engins? or should i purchase both and make 1 the primary?

thanks

I would definatly finsh the site before you try and add it to anywhere. It is also quite common now for web developers to totaly forget about submiting sites to search engines, and concentrate totaly on web directories.

If you get links pointing to your site then the search engines will be able to find you easily by following those links.

For this reason you should make sure your site is totaly finished before you submit to any web directories. If you suggest your site to a web directory and it is not finished, the chances are your site will not be listed. You can save a lot of time by getting it finished before you go submitting.

As for the url, try and get a web address that is easy to remember. Somethign that people can type in easily. Most search engines will rank you equaly, so the main benefit of a good url is user recognition.
