how to submit your page to search engines:
Add your URL to Google Add your URL to Yahoo
Don't do it more than once a week & be patient.
The bots are pretty good about updating, except for
www.live.com, which also has a SE submit but is terrible with updates & search engines results are inaccurate. Live is popular because it is default on IE 6,7 so submit it there anyways
good luck with your military forums
EDIT: Just put your site in your signature on these forums & bots will crawl w/i the day
