McAffee could be limiting you visitors
Users of McAfee site advisor (numbers in the millions), are given a display of how safe your website is from a search result in Google,Yahoo etc. If you have not submitted your site for testing with McAfee then potential visitors may just surf past your site. I noticed an increase in visitors to Free CSS Menus after it was submitted a while ago!

Register with McAfee and then get verified as the website owner. You also need to submit your website for testing!

Before submitting your websites url, check that it is Search engine friendly. Make sure that there is plenty of content and that it is all relevant to your meta title, description and keywords.

Make sure your website is also of some use and interest to people before any url submit. You dont want to get ranked low by google or other search engines before your website has even had the chance to take off.

Google is the main search engine which you want to work for your website not against. If you follow all of googles basic web design ethics, your website could do well. Their help page covers:Design,content,technical and quality guidelines, all of which offer a good code of practice when building a website. Webmasters/Site owners Help

Top 10 SEO Tips
Designing a website is one thing but getting it visited is another. For further tips about page content, navigation and meta keywords:

FREE Meta Tags Analyzer (Submit Express)
This great free tool reads the meta tags and content on your webpage. It then displays what Search Engines could rank your website lower for. Very helpful!

High ranking reciprocal links.
Search engines like websites that have reciprocal links to high ranking sites. Many search engines use a program called a spider to index web sites. Spiders can find your site easier the more websites which have a link to your site. Spiders can rank your page easier if you have reciprocal links back to these websites. The more links the better the site. Caution! Dont link to too many low ranking websites (use the link below to check other peoples page rank)and check in the source code that the website doesnt use the rel="nofollow" attribute in the link(this stops spiders).

I typed "freecssmenus.co.uk" into google and found a website which was page rank 6/10 that was linked to this site. I have now put a link on this website which eventually should improve rankings. 6/10 may sound low but considering Yahoo and Youtube are only 9/10 its actually pretty high.

Browser Shots
Before you start trying to get visitors to your website, view your web pages in different browser shots to make sure that all your visitors will see things the same as you do.

Once you are happy with the content of your website you can submit your websites url to many of the websites listed below. All are free to use.

Add your URL to Google
No need to comment on which is one of the most widely used search engines. There are SEO websites on the net which will actually charge you for submitting to Google... WHY ??? Google lets you submit for free!

Submit to Yahoo
Its just as important to submit to Yahoo as it is to Google. Yahoo is a pretty popular search engine and user interface for email and such. Yahoo also prioritises websites differently when searching. You may be ranked low Google but top of page one on Yahoo.

Submit to MSN Live Search / Bing
People are searching with MSN and not finding your website. Submit your url now. Bing is now the hot new search engine to take on the big names. Submit your websites url for free.

Free advertising with You Tube
Youtube is a great way to advertise for free! Create a presentation video or something funny to get people talking. Give your profile a link to your website or display your url in the video credits.

Stumble Upon
Create an account and recommend your own website for people to look at and discuss.

Create a Digg account
Get people talking about your website. Make sure there is something worth talking about before you try to get people to DIGG your website.

Submit Express
This great little freebie has been around for years. You can submit your url to all the major search engines with one click. I still prefer to submit to Google&Yahoo manually though. Excellent free url submission service!

How to Win Links and Influence Webmasters
Direct requests for inbound links are a valuable way to build quality links to your website, however, the effectiveness of requesting links is directly linked (no pun intended) to the delivery of the request. For those who are looking for an automated means or a template that works can stop reading, because to put it plainly, in my opinion there is no such product that will accomplish this task.
