Do free sites get listed in Search Engines?
Yes, my Homestead sites do get listed in the Search engines, I have mine listed in quite a few, although, I don’t spend much time trying to get a top ranking, as I believe in other ways to get traffic to a web site such as mine. What’s the point of paying to redirect a domain to a free site? Why not find a low fee host? The advantage of redirecting your domain name to another site, is that if ever you want to use your domain name to point to another site you’ve created, or you find that your current web host is experiencing problems, you can redirect your visitors, without the hassle of moving your domain name to another web host. Redirection can take effect within a shorter period of time than it would take to move your entire site to another host. And remember, when listing your site with search engines, you are not asking them to list a site based on a free host, you are listing your full domain name. This approach is no different to having a whole lot of doorway pages you’ve set up
