Regarding getting listed - you can submit your site for indexing to all of the major engines for free, and they also have 'priority' listing services for varying amounts of cash. I've never paid to be listed. It's well known that for commerical entities, how high you appear in the searches is usually related to how much you pay. Getting ranked in the search engines is a corrupt, ugly business, further complicated keyword spamming and by the fact that many of the hits you do get are geographically irrelevant, ie if I search for "chroming services" I might get one in Bullfart, Idaho.

Word sucks for creating web pages. It's OK if you want a 'hello world' web page, but if you try to create your own HTML in word, it munges it, ie < becomes < etc.
