How to promote a Web site?

[Steven Oppenheimer <Steven -at- OppenheimerCommunications -dot- com>]

Within the next few days I will be posting a dramatically altered and 
updated Web site for my business, Oppenheimer Communications, which 
provides technical writing services.  I'd like to ensure that when people 
search for writers, technical writers, or technical communicators on the 
Web, my site shows up prominently near the top of the listings.

I went to Yahoo to check out their paid offerings for increased Web site 
visibility, and it's one of those cases of too many options -- I can't make 
heads or tails of what is what.  All I want is to spend no more than a 
couple of hundred dollars, on a one-time basis, to increase my Web site 
visiblity.  I want things so that when people do a search on Google or 
Yahoo for technical writers, there is a reasonable chance my company shows 
up near the top of the listing.  (The question is, what can I do by way of 
paid fees to achieve this;  I've already optimized the pages in terms of 
keywords, links, and such.)  Can anyone who has been there/done that walk 
me through the process, and tell me what options/services/features I'm 
looking for?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Steve O.
