for sale notes and search engines

[Hal Mueller <hal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

After you post your for sale notice, point your web browser at 
http://www.mobilegeographics.com/sanjuan23.  Find the URL of your 
posting (e.g. 
http://www.mobilegeographics.com/sanjuan23/msg00070.html).  Hit ctrl-C 
or command-C to copy the URL of your posting, then visit 
http://www.google.com/addurl.html and paste the posting's URL into the 
page.

This will get your ad indexed immediately by Google.  If you don't do 
this Google will find it eventually, but it might take days or weeks.

You can use the same general procedure for other search engines, if 
you're so inclined.

I do review the logs every now and then, and we get a good bit of 
traffic completely unrelated to San Juan 23's.  The advice on outboards 
or hull blisters or sailmakers is applicable to many boats besides the 
SJ23's, and I can see from the webserver logs that many people find it 
helpful.  The SJ23 list is a couple hundred folks, but it is helping 
many more people than that.

(I have, BTW, already done this for Jim's and Paul's boats)
