•Make sure the site is about something – that is, that it has meaningful content.
•If the site is on a new domain (not an issue for college-hosted sites), make Google aware of it at www.google.com/addurl.
•Ask friends and colleagues to link to your site – especially if
they have sites with related content. Start by making sure the listing from the college and department
web sites are correct.
•Suggest the site to the appropriate DMOZ category.
•Become a DMOZ editor, if you have the time, but read the ethics
guidelines
carefully if you intend to list your own site.
