Unlimited Rapidshare Downloads

Its very easy to fool Rapid Share server if your IP address is assigned by your ISP. Just follow these simple steps:

clean up IE or netscape cookie( In this case the one that belong to rapidshare website)
On Command prompt

type -----> ipconfig /flushdns <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /release <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /renew <---Enter
type -----> exit <--------Enter

Or save these commands in a bat file and run it everytime you need to fool Rapidshare server.Remember to clean up rapidshare cookie in your temp Internet files folder. Now you should be ready to download as many files as you want from their server. And there is this cool link: paste it in the browser and see

DOWNLOAD FREE MUSIC

Are you scared that the RIAA is about to track you down for illegally downloading songs.Well, here is a method of obtaining many songs absolutely free that is virtually untrackable by modern technology. This has to do with capturing streaming audio, which in many cases, believe it or not are plain old mp3s just waiting for you to "download." I have found most of the current top-40 as well as many others you may like, so keep searching. The music is waiting for you to find it.

Step 1:
First of all, you need to find a good site that hosts streaming audio. My favorite that has brought me many songs to date is hxxp://www.windowsmedia.com . Some others are just as good, but this is the site that I will be referencing (plus, I know you guys love to steal from Microsoft).

Step 2:
Alright, go up to the left hand corner where there is an empty text box. This is the search box, just fill it with a songname or artist just like you would in kazaa and click search. This will bring up a page with links to many websites hosting a stream by that artist. The ones with music notes are just that...music, this is what you want. In many cases, this is all you need. Just right click on one of the links and click "save as" to save the song. This works if the file extension is .mp3 or .wma or .asf or well-other known formats. If this worked, you are finished, otherwise continue reading.

Step 3:
However, if you encounter a .asx file, there are a few more steps you will have to endure. First of all, do exactly like the above example and save the file locally. After the file is downloaded, check to see how large the file is. If it is a large file in the megabyte range, then you should be able to play it in your favorite music program. However, if it is less than 1 kilobyte, open it as a textfile. You will then see many script commands that communicate to windows media player. Don't worry about these, just look for some URLs which will most likely be pointing to a .asf file. It will have at least one if not more. Open the new found URL in your browser and save it like in step 2 and you should be good to go. (I use Mozilla, because Internet Explorer likes to open things rather than save them as I tell it)

NOTE: If any of the URLs are preceded with "mms://" instead of "http://" find another URL, because this technique will not work.

This technique is especially useful to avoid prosecution because streaming audio, and downloading it appear the same to a web server, therefore you are seen as just another "legal" listener, so "download" away my friend and don't blame me if this soon becomes illegal (if it isn't already).

Step 4:
If you are picky then search for a program that will convert these file types to mp3s. I assure you there are many sites out there.

If this technique does not work for some reason, there is another technique which is manually recording streaming audio, with an audio capture program. I use the one that came with my soundcard (Audigy 2ZS, great soundcard), but I would recommend it only as a last resort such as with "mms://" files. There is a degredation in quality compared to the other formats and it records every sound your PC makes while it is recording so don't chat on AIM while recording (lol I can hear random doors slamming now).

Digital Camera Guide

So, it's time for a digital camera huh? Well, buying one can be more than a little difficult. What types of features should you look for? Well, this guide will tell you that plus get you a little more familiar with what these cameras are capable of.

Megapixels
When it comes to megapixels, the more the better. I recommend a minimum of 2, but 3 or 4 is great. We did a test to see if a camera with 2.3 megapixels (actually 1.92 - 1600 x 1200) could produce a good quality 8x10.

Turns out it can, if you have the right paper and printer. We used HP Premium Plus photo paper with an HP 970 series printer and made a fantastic 8 x 10. Remember, I was a professional photographer before I got into computing, so I know a good print when I see it :-)

The resolution at 8x10 (we had to crop in to make the picture proportional to 8x10) was only 150 DPI. Most printers would not make a real good 8x10 at that resolution, but this one did. So, if you want to be sure you can get good 8 x 10s, you may want to go with a 3 megapixel camera or better (that gives you around 200 DPI at 8x10 size, still not quite the optimum 300 DPI, but it looks good with the right printer).

Optical vs Digital Zoom
You've probably noticed that most digital cameras have both a specification for digital and optical zoom. Pay the most attention to the optical zoom.

The optical zoom magnifies (zooms in) using glass. The digital zoom basically crops out the edge of the picture to make the subject appear closer, causing you to lose resolution or to get an interpolated resolution (i.e. the camera adds pixels). Neither of which help image quality.

Finally, make sure you get enough (optical) zoom. A 2x zoom isn't going to do much for you. A 3x is the average you'll find in most digital cameras will probably be good for most uses. More on lenses later.

Connection
How does the camera connect to your computer? If you have a USB port in your computer, you'll want a camera that can connect via USB as opposed to a slow serial connection.

On the other hand, if your computer doesn't have a USB port, is there a serial connector available for the camera you're looking at? If so, is it a special order and how long does it take to get it?

Storage
What does the camera use to store images with? If it uses a memory stick, make sure you consider buying additional sticks when you get your camera. A typical 8 meg memory stick that comes with a 2 megapixel camera only holds 5 or 6 images at the camera's best quality.

Some cameras use a 3.5 inch disk for storage. Be careful of these!
Although it may sound like a good idea, a 3 megapixel camera at high resolution produces a 1 meg file (compressed!). That's only 1 picture per disk.

Here's a few more things to look out for when trying to make your digital camera purchase.

Picture Formats
When you're trying to decide on which digital camera to get, check and see how many different picture formats it supports.

You want something that can produce both uncompressed (usually TIFF) and compressed (usually JPEG) images. I personally use the high quality JPEG setting on my camera for most of my shooting. TIFFs are just too big and the difference in quality is not ascertainable by mere mortals.

You also want to be able to shoot at a lower resolution than the camera's maximum. That way, If you're running short on memory, you can squeeze a few more shots on your memory stick.

Auxiliary Lens / Flash
This was a biggie for me. While a 3x zoom may work for the "average" user, I needed something that allowed me to do some wide angle work as well as have a good telephoto lens.

So, the camera I purchased a few months back was a Nikon Coolpix 990 (note that this isn't the only camera that can accept lenses). It has auxiliary lenses that screw into the filter ring on the front of the lens. I now have an ultra-wide fisheye lens plus a nice telephoto.

In addition to lenses, I wanted a good flash. The flash that is built into most of these cameras gives you a top range of 15-20 feet - at best. I wanted a camera that could take a powerful auxiliary flash (again, the Nikon isn't the only camera that fits this requirement, but I liked it better than the rest). If you need more reach than the small built in flash can deliver, then make sure you can attach an external flash to any camera you consider.

As an added bonus, if you get a camera that can take an external flash, you can place that flash on a bracket and eliminate red-eye.

Flash Distance
Speaking of flashes, make sure you check the distance the built in flash is good for. You don't want a camera with a wimpy flash that only travels a few feet (well, unless you can get an external flash for it as described above).

Battery Type
This may not sound important, but it is. Anyone who owns a digital camera can tell you they eat batteries the way a sumo wrestler eats at a buffet.

Make sure the camera can run on regular (or rechargeable) "AA" type batteries. You don't want a camera that eats through expensive lithium batteries every 10 shots or so.

One thing to remember about digital cameras, they do eat through batteries. I recommend getting some Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable for it. I have some for mine and they have saved me a fortune.

Final Notes
Choosing a digital camera isn't easy. There's a huge selection out there and only you can determine which features you need.

For instance, if you shoot wildlife photos, a small 3x zoom probably isn't going to cut it (unless you can attach auxiliary lenses to it). If you shoot lots of close-ups, make sure the camera has some sort of macro capability. If you shoot big group photos indoors, an external flash may be necessary.

My advice is to make a list of things you want to be able to do with the camera then go to somewhere that can help you make a good purchase decision.

Finally, buy the BEST camera you can possibly afford. Or wait until the price drops on one with the type of features you want.

How To: Change Your Ip In Less Then 1 Minute

1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok

You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.

4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"

You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.

8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again

You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.

15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically" tongue.gif 18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address

With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.

P.S:
This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back

Bit Torrent Tutorials

The first things you need to know about using Bit Torrent:

-- Bit Torrent is aimed at broadband users (or any connection better than dialup).


-- Sharing is highly appreciated, and sharing is what keeps bit torrent alive.


-- A bit torrent file (*.torrent) contains information about the piece structure of the download (more on this later)


-- The method of downloading is not your conventional type of download. Since downloads do not come in as one
big chunk, you are able to download from many people at once, increasing your download speeds. There may be 100 "pieces" to a file, or 20,000+ pieces, all depending on what you're downloading. Pieces are usually small (under 200kb)

-- The speeds are based upon people sharing as they download, and seeders. Seeders are people who constantly
share in order to keep torrents alive. Usually seeders are on fast connections (10mb or higher).

In this tutorial, I will be describing it all using a bit torrent client called Azureus. This client is used to decode the .torrent files into a useable format to download from other peers. From here on out, I will refer to Bit Torrent as BT.

Which BT client you use, is purely up to you. I have tried them all, and my personal favorite is Azureus for many reasons. A big problem with most BT clients out there, is that they are extremely CPU intensive, usually using 100% of your cpu power during the whole process. This is the number one reason I use Azureus. Another, is a recently released plug-in that enables you to browse all current files listed on suprnova.org (the #1 source for torrent downloads).

Before you use the plug-in, take a look at /http://www.suprnova.org, and browse the files. Hold your mouse over the links, and you'll notice every file ends in .torrent. This is the BT file extension. Usually, .torrent files are very small, under 200kb. They contain a wealth of information about the file you want to download. A .torrent file can contain just 1 single file, or a a directory full of files and more directories. But regardless, every download is split up into hundreds or thousands of pieces. The pieces make it much easier to download at higher speeds. Back to suprnova.org. Look at the columns:

Added | Name | Filesize | Seeds | DLs (and a few more which aren't very useful.)

I'll break this down.
Added: Self explanitory, its the date the torrent was added.
Name: Also self explanitory.
Filesize: Duh
Seeds: This is how many people are strictly UPLOADING, or sharing. These people are the ones that keep .torrent files alive. By "alive", I mean, if there's no one sharing the .torrent file, no one can download.
DLs: This is how many people currently downloading that particular torrent. They also help keep the torrent alive as they share while they download.

It's always best to download using a torrent that has a decent amount of seeders and downloaders, this way you can be assured there's a good chance your download will finish. The more the better.

Now that you should understand how torrent files work, and how to use them, on to Azureus!
First, get JAVA! You need this to run Azureus, as java is what powers it.
Get Java here: /http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Next, get Azureus at: /http://azureus.sourceforge.net

Next, get the Suprnovalister plugin from /http://s93732957.onlinehome.us/storage/suprnovalister.jar

Install Java JRE before you do ANYTHING.
Install Azureus, and then in the installation folder, create 2 more folders. ./Plugins/suprnovalister (For example, if you installed Azureus to C:\PROGRAM FILES\AZUREUS, create C:\PROGRAM FILES\AZUREUS\PLUGINS\SUPRNOVALISTER).
Next, put the suprnovalister.jar file that you downloaded, in that folder.

Load up Azureus, and if you want, go through the settings and personalize it.

The tab labeled "My Torrents" is the section of Azureus you need the most often. That lists all your transfers, uploads and downloads. It shows every bit of information you could possibly want to know about torrents you download.

In the menu bar, go to View > Plugins > Suprnova Lister. This will open up a new tab in Azureus. Click on "Update Mirror". This will get a mirror site of suprnova.org containing all current torrent files available. Once a mirror is grabbed, choose a category from the drop-down box to the left and click "Update". Wah-lah, all the available downloads appear in the main chart above. Just double click a download you want, and bang its starting to download. Open the "My Torrents" tab again to view and make sure your download started.

After your download has finished, be nice, and leave the torrent transferring. So people can get pieces of the file from you, just as you got pieces from other people.

Alternatively, if you don't want to use the plugin... you can just head to suprnova.org and download files to any folder. Then go to File > Open > .torrent File in Azureus.

This should about wrap it up for the Bit Torrent Tutorial. If you guys think of anything I should add, or whatnot, just let me know and I'll check into it.

SEARCH ENGINE PLACEMENT # part II

12. USE KEYWORDS IN PLURAL
Try to use your keywords in the plural form. Such as, CLOCKS instead of CLOCK. A user search on the keyword CLOCK will find both CLOCK and CLOCKS but a user search for CLOCKS will usually not turn up pages using the keyword CLOCK in singular form.

12. KEEP META TAG DESCRIPTION TO 25 WORDS OR LESS
Most search engines will truncate your description if it is too long deleting possible key points you are trying to convey. Keep your meta description to 25 words or less to avoid having posted an incomplete message to readers.

13. READ A GOOD HTML PRIMER
You should learn as much as possible about html code so you understand the mechanics behind these tips. A good one that can be viewed and/or printed from your browser is located at http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerAll.html

14. USE DOOR PAGES TO LEAD POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS TO YOUR PAGE
Many of the tips provided here are going to be hard to implement on your home page without destroying the content or appearance of the page. The solution to this problem is to create doorway pages that use these techniques but then automatically transfer (using the Java Script tip above) or provide a single link to your home page. You have probably seen these doorway pages in use many times when using a search engine and the page you wished to be transferred to had a message something like "We have moved. Click here to continue".

15. KEEP META TAG KEYWORD LISTS UNDER 1000 CHARACTERS
We have already mentioned that you should keep your meta tag description to 25 words or less. Also, keep your meta tag keyword list to under 1000 characters. Anything more and you may have your relevancy rank penalized by search engines. Additionally, do not repeat any one keyword in the keyword meta tag more than seven times.

16. WHAT KEYWORDS WILL BRING PEOPLE TO YOUR SITE
First, think up some key words that are relevant to your site. Try to come up with about 30 or 40 to start with, then narrow that down to the best 20, the best 10 and the best 5. Also, think of popular phrases using these words such as; "internet marketing" or "home businesses". As mentioned before, try to use the plural version of your words. A search for the key word "business" will find sites having "business" and "businesses" as key words, but a search for the key word "businesses" will only find those having "businesses" as a key word. You can find out what 200 keywords are searched for the most at Yahoo by visiting this site: http://www.eyescream.com/yahootop200.html

17. MARKETING TIPS YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND WHEN SELLING ON THE INTERNET
Here are power words, and power phrases, in writing an effective description or adcopy that will pull people into your pages.

FREE, DISCOVER, POWERFUL, EASY, GUARANTEED, YOU'LL LOVE THIS, MONEY, HOTTEST, NEW, IMPROVED, PROVEN, RESULTS, REVOLUTIONARY, STATE-OF-THE-ART, FANTASTIC, SAVE, BEST, FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY, SECRET, THE BEST KEPT SECRET, UNBELIEVABLE, MUST SEE TO BELIEVE

Are all words and catch phrases that should be considered when developing your site description. Also consider adding some curiosity to your description. It will create more interest. Compare the following two examples.

EXAMPLE #1:
Discover the HOTTEST NEW golf irons on the Market Today. Our revolutionary NEW State-of-the-Art design is taking strokes off the average players game. The secret to our design is.....

EXAMPLE #2:
Soon to be offered to the golfer, quality custom-built clubs at an affordable price. Now tell me which one would you go to first? I would hope the first description. You just might just want to know more about their design and why it works so well.

Make sure your Home Page:
l) Grabs the reader's attention...
2) Holds their interest by telling how it can benefit them...
3) Continues to "further stimulate" them with some catch-phrases that makes them "desire" your product or service...
4) Then demand that they act immediately, by saying ACT NOW!, ORDER NOW! and so on.

I truly hope you use these strategies soon and realize far more success than you have! Get started right away and watch the difference in your sales.

SEARCH ENGINE PLACEMENT # part I

The following tips are the latest tricks and methods to increase your search engine rank. Used on their own, these tips may not give you enough insight into search engine placement to propel your rank to the top. However, when used properly in combination with other basic search engine tactics, they can help to dramatically improve your placement with the search engines and increase the traffic to your web site beyond your wildest hopes.

1. USE KEYWORK FILE NAMES
By naming your html file relevant to your keywords, you can gain a slight advantage.. (i.e. golfpros.com) This is a relatively minor aid so don't go overboard with it.

2. AVOID USING ROBOTIC SUBMISSIONS TO THE TOP SEARCH ENGINES
When submitting your web page to one of the top 8 search engines, dry to post your page manually rather than using any automated software or sites that post for you to get into the prime search engines. Here is a list you should post manually to: InfoSeek - WebCrawler - Apollo - Open Text Index - Excite - Alta Vista - Lycos - WWW Worm - Yahoo - Whatsnew on the Internet - Starting Point - ComFind - InfoSpace - Yellow Pages Online - What's New Too! - LinkStar - BizWiz - HotBot - DejaNews -New Rider's.

Many people believe that over 50% of your hits will come from Yahoo! It's probably worth spending a considerable amount of time trying to get a good ranking from this search engine. (Actually Yahoo is more like a directory than a search engine and requires that you read their help pages about their listing method)

3. BE SURE TO USE YOUR KEYWORDS IN YOUR PAGE TITLE
Many search engines will look to see what words you have used in your page title tag. It is VERY important that you include the keywords you want to be found under in this title tag.

4. GET YOUR PAGE LINKED FROM OTHER SITES
Some search engines will increase your relevancy if your site is linked to from other sites. Try to establish as many links as possible from other locations before you submit your web page for placement.
5. AVOID USING JAVA AND FRAMES IN YOUR PAGES
Search engine robots have a difficult time with pages containing Java and frames (not the Java Script tip below which is ignored by search engines). In order to establish a high relevancy and therefore a high rank do not use these methods in the pages you submit to the search engines.

6. THE FIRST 250 WORDS OF TEXT
Search engine robots scrutinize the first 250 word of text in your page for relevancy and keyword count. You must use your keywords in the appropriate proportions in this part of your page. Some say a 42% keyword count in this section of text is ideal. ALWAYS start this text with the page title you used in the title tag. Avoid keyword repetition (i.e. repeating keywords one after the other). Search engines are now looking for this and may penalize your relevance rank if detected.

7. DO NOT USE THE META REFRESH COMMAND
InfoSeek and other search engines are currently not accepting pages containing the meta refresh command. This command is used to automatically transfer a page to another without requiring reader input. However, this ban does not exist on the Java Script automatic transfer process. You can learn about Java Script browser redirection at several places including home.worldonline.nl/

8. DO NOT USE TEXT THAT IS THE SAME COLOR AS THE BACKGROUND
Some search engines are now looking for text that is the same color as the background which is being used to increase the keyword count without the reader seeing the text. This has become a definite no no and you may be penalized for such tactics.

9. USE LINKS CONTAINING KEYWORDS
One way to increase a keyword count is to use a series of working or non-working links containing a description and link that incorporate your keywords. This also has the advantage of providing links to other web sites from your page which the search engines also look for.

10. USE THE IMAGE ALT TAG TO INCREASE YOUR KEYWORD COUNT
Every image allows you to include a text description of that image in the alt tag. Use these tags to incorporate keywords or phrases to increase your keyword count. Search engines do consider alt tags in their relevancy rankings.

11. MAKE USE OF KEYWORD SYNONYMS IN THE FIRST 250 WORDS OF TEXT
Search engine robots also look for synonyms when arriving at their relevancy ranking. In addition to place the proper number of keywords in the first 250 words of text also include synonyms to these words. For example, if one of your keywords is CLOCK you would want to use the synonym WATCH in your text also.

Search Engine Optimization

The tutorial is all about getting your site listed on top in Search Engines i.e Search Engine Optimization First thing you need to do is find the keywords you want to optimize for. There is great tool by Overture inventory.overture.com/d/sea...ory/suggestion/

But I would suggest using this free tool called GoodKeywords goodkeywords.com/products/gkw/

This one does the same job as Overture does but it also supports other Search Engines (Lycos and Teoma etc..) For example if you want to optimize for the keyword "tech news", just search for the keyword in any of the tools specified above... It would show you keywords related to that and not of the searches.. Pick the keywords which are related to your site.

For example when you search for "Tech News" you'll see the following results:
Count Search Term
11770 tech news
351 itt news tech
191 high tech news
60 news tech texas
49 computer tech news
42 bio news tech
34 in itt news tech
30 news tech virginia
29 asia news tech
25 hi tech news
25 sci tech news

Now see what other terms are related to your keyword technology news Do couple of searches like that and note down around 15-20 keywords. Then, keep the keywords which are searched most on the top.

Now you need Title Tag for the page.
Title tag should include top 3 keywords, like for "tech news" it can be like :
"Latest Tech News, Information Technology News and Other computer raleted news here."
Remember that characters should not be more than 95 and should not have more than 3 "," commas - some search engines might cosider more than 3 commas as spam.

Now move on to Meta Tags
You need following Meta Tags in web page
No need to have other meta tags like abstract, re-visit and all, most people dont read it. Now...
This tag is tells content type is html and character set used it iso-8859-1 there are other character sets also but this is the one mosty used..

This one should have all your keywords inside starting from keyword with most counts...
keyword tag for our example would be something like :
Remember to put around 15-20 keywords max not more than that. Dont repeat keywords or dont put keywords like, "tech news", "info tech news", "latest tech news" and so on...

Provide short decription about your site and include all the keywords mentioned in the title tag.
Decription tag should be:
It can be upto 255 characters and avoid using more than 3 "," commas

This is used for search robots..following explanation will help you :
index,follow = index the page as well as follow the links
noindex,follow = dont index the page but follow the links
index,nofollow = index the page but dont follow the links
noindex,nofollow = dont index page, dont follow the links
all = same as index,follow
none = same as noindex,nofollow
Now move on to body part of the page
Include all top 3 keywords here, I would suggest to break the keyword and use it...

For example:
YourSiteName.com one stop for all kind of Latest Tech News and Computer Related information and reviews.................
Include main keywords in tags
etc..
and start with
and then move to
etc..

tag will be too big but CSS can help you there, define small font size in css for H1,H2,... tags.
When done with page copy, then you need to provide title and alt tags for images and links.
Use some keywords in the tags but dont add all the keywords and if not neccessary then dont use keywords in it, basically it should explain what is image all about.
Remember to add Top keyword atleast 4 times in the body and other 2 keywords thrice and twice respectively.

Now move on to Footer Part
Try to include top keywords here and see the effect, use site keywords as links i.e.
Tech News Software News etc..
Now finally, you need to read some more stuff..may be you can all it as bottom lines...
Site Map - This is page where you need to put all the links present in your site, this is will help Search Engines to find the links easily and also provide link for site map in footer, as search engines start scanning the page from bottom.
Robots.txt - This file contains address of directories which should not be scanned by search engines.. more info can be found here : robotstxt.org/wc/exclusion.html search engines line google, yahoo ask for robots.txt file.

Valid HTML -
Your code should have valid html and doc type, Its kind of diffucult to follow all the standards but you can atleast open and close all the tags properly, you can check your page's html online here : /http://validator.w3.org/ or you can use this free software called HTML Tidy : tidy.sourceforge.net/


All done now, you just need to check your site with this script, its called SEO Doctor : instantposition.com/seo_doctor.cfm It'll show you the report of your site with solution.
Now, correct the errors and start submitting the site :

Start with google : google.com/addurl.html
then yahoo : submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
then move to altavista,alltheweb and other search engies..
Also submit your site to direcories like dmoz.org , jayde.com etc...
Dmoz is must, as google, yahoo and may more search engines uses same directory And remember, dont try to SPAM with keywords in these directories, dmoz is handled by Human Editors Submitted the sites, but still i cant see you site on top?

Wait for sometime may be a month or so but keep an eye on your search term, use GoogleAlert.com - this will show whenever google updates for your keywords, it will mail you the new results.

And also check whether your site is listed on google..
use this tool called Google Monitor, it can be downloaded for free from : cleverstat.com/google-monitor.htm
