I recently had my site redesigned and found a new web host. The transfer has gone through and all is great. Now, I want to know the best way to advertise myself. I submitted my site months ago to google and I am in there, so I guess I should leave that alone.
But what else? As for Fast, alta vista, inktomi, how do I found out if I am in those search engines, and if i am not in there, which ones do you suggest I should be in?
Thank you

The following post has a couple of resources that will give you an idea of the significant search engines and where/how they get their listings:
[webmasterworld.com...]
As for which of these to be listed in.. 'all of them' would be good. :)
To find out whether you are in the engines, it's just a case of going to each and looking for your site.

Also, I really don't want to pay anymore, which places can I submit to for free and which ones do you recommend?

Seriously, I'd have to go look that up myself. There are still free submissions to a number of the engines, but the engines don't publicise them too much and they're not usually in a great hurry to add your site that way.
There's basically two ways to get into search engines:
quick - pay cents
slow - patience
If you don't want to spend, and as long as you have some links to you somewhere that search engine crawlers can get to (DMOZ is always good - if they don't get you direct, they'll get you from one of the hundreds of clones out there).... the search engines will eventually find, spider and index you.
So if you don't want to spend, get stuck into increasing your visibility through things like reciprocal linking campaigns and go over those resources with a fine tooth comb.
Thanks again
