require a readme.txt file to be enclosed.)

Most of the help is avaiable within the program by clicking HELP.

==============
AutoURLSubmit! - Quick & Easy Search Engine Submission Program -
A simple way to submit your web sites to the major search engines,
and get to the top page of results!
==============

With AutoURLSubmit!, you simply enter in the web site addresses you 
would like to submit, your email address, and click SUBMIT and watch
them go. Unlike other submission programs that may require you to
fill out extensive database fields for every site you want to submit,
AutoURLSubmit! only requires the web site addresses. Now it is easier
than ever for ANYONE to be publicized and noticed on the Internet!
No longer do you have to be a net-wizard to find the search engines,
find their "add site" link and do this over and over. Now you can
just run AutoURLSubmit! and with one click, it is all done for you.

* Most importantly - Submit your sites with AutoURLSubmit once a day
and EVERY DAY. This ensures you stay in the search enginge listings
since their databases often remove sites after a period of time (because
of aging). Submitting them every day also helps you gain priority to
the top of the results list on the engines. This means you get more
and more traffic coming to your site and your pages stay up-to-date
in the search engines. AutoURLSubmit! is one of the easiest ways to do this.

* Search engines direct over 85% of all web traffic - 
So submit your site today, and let the world know about it.

------
-Note- In The Unregistered Version :
------
The trial period for Unregistered AutoURLSubmit! is 20-days.
You will be posted warnings on day 10 and 20. After 20 days,
the program will not submit anymore until you register.

The registration amount is a very modest ($18) compared to the power
of this program. Please click REGISTER on the main menu in the
program for details.

New in AutoURLSubmit! v2.0 : CHECK RANK, CHECK KEYWORDS, MORE ENGINES!!
========================================================================
CHECK RANK 
This feature allows you to check the search engines and get
the first page of results given from keywords that you enter.
Your URL is then searched in those results to tell if you have
made it to the top 10 listings page.

You will see X's and check marks indicating whether you are found
in the first page of results on the listed search engines. Note that
just because you are not listed, does not mean you are not in the engine.
You may just be on the second page of results, or further down. Keep
submitting to help your chances!

CHECK KEYWORDS
This feature will actually check your web page online through the Internet
and analyze its readiness for search engine friendliness. To be search engine
friendly means to have your META tags set up properly indicating keywords, description,
and title for your page to be classified by. CHECK KEYWORDS will tell you if your
page has these items and if it's ready to reach the top results!

=============================================================
------------------ HELP ON SETTINGS -------------------------
=============================================================
The settings items are on the main startup screen.

===================
=Adding a New Site=
===================
Simply type in a web site URL (address) in the field provided
and then click the ADD button to add it to the database. You will
then see it pop up in the database listings. (In the unregistered
version you can only have 3 sites stored in the database. The registered
version lets you have unlimited items stored).

The web site URL address is usually in the following form :

http://www.somewhere.com
http://www.somewhere.com/index.html
http://www.somewhere.com/~harry/mypage.html
http://members.aol.com/~aolusername

etc. These are all valid examples. 

*** AOL USERS ***
Note the web address for AOL users.
There is no "www" on the aol user web site address.
http://members.aol.com/~your_aol_user_name
*****************

=================
=Removing a Site=
=================
If you entered an incorrect entry or want to remove one, just highlight
the item in the database by clicking on it, and then click the REMOVE
button.

=================
=Submitting Them=
=================
Once you are satisfied with your entries, be sure you have an email
address entered as well, and then click SUBMIT. A screen will pop
up giving you the status as all your sites are submitted to the 7
major search engines.

================================
=After Submission - Any Errors?=
================================
After the submission completes, a window will pop up with the final
results of the submission process. Occasionally there will be one or 
two search engines that failed to receive your site. This is a normal
occurance with the search engines, as they have to handle a lot of
incoming traffic from around the world. This does not mean the other
sites weren't received. Do not resubmit your sites however if you see
an error. Just wait until the following day to re-submit. Some engines
ban web site domains who "spam" (repeatedly post their web site) to their
search engine. You should be submitting your sites, at most, once a day.

Some errors that may be listed on the final screen are:

- Site already submitted today
(this simply indicates the search engine caught you trying to
spam your web address. Sometimes the engines are a little backed up
and will give you this error anyway even if it is a different day,
if your site was not processed by them yet)

- Failed to connect
- Failed to spider
- Error
(this usually means their site was busy or temporarily down or there
may be a problem with your Internet connection)

- Not a valid URL
(this means you entered an inproper or non-existant web site address
in the database. Go back and remove the badly formed URL and re-type it
following the guidelines listed above)

=============================================================
- Y2K Compliancy : AutoURLSubmit! IS YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT (Y2K) -
=============================================================
AutoURLSubmit! has been updated to include a new Year 2000 and up
data interface. If all goes well, the program should last well
into the year 9999, then again, I suppose we'll all have evolved
into something much wackier by then. :)
