Promoting Singastro.Org

Here is the place for the admins or moderators to do their annoucements. Or, if you have bought a new scope and want the whole world to know, do it here. Basically this is the place for any astro first-hand news.

Hi,
You can actually suggest a site to Yahoo! Singapore (use the No time guarantee option). Go to the most Find the appropriate category in Yahoo! and click on the "Suggest a Site" link at the bottom of that category page(It's just to the right of the copyright and the "Company Information" link).

I would suggest to put under "Science/Astronomy/Amateur Astronomy" category. Since it require a contact person and email, it would be best for the owner of the SingAstro.org/SingAstro.com domain or the Administrator/moderator to submit the link.

Have a nice day.

I think there are websites around which help register people on all search engines, but that'll cost money though... :(

Hi,
Some web hosting company will submit the website for their client for free... I wonder does the company that host SingAstro's website provide this type of free services??
Anyway, we can also submit the SingAstro to the search engines ourself and it is also free, but require a few weeks(free one take longer time :) ) to add to their database...

there's an easier way....ask all 70 members to access yahoo.com and search for singastro.org. each member does it a few times and walla! enough "hits" to qualify for a position in the priority list! :wink:

Hi,
Normally that won't do, the search engine is base on either user submittion or their Crawler (this will take a long time... :( ) or both. So by searching for Singastro won't help much...
Anyway, I can help to submit SingAstro to the Search Engine, but I require a contact person and his email address and normally take around 3 weeks to get listed (free one is like that).

So how are the rest of you spreading the good word?? :roll:

ps I only hope I don't get flamed posting off topic stuff on some Newsgroups!
Thanks for posting on the Groups. I plan on visiting Singapore sometime in January. Seems I may have my "foot in the door." :)
