Look how old this is! I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 19 years 2 months 3 days ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
…and it’s been here since early November. Google Base is an online database that you can have at Google. Better yet, Google will host it for free, and depending on how accessible you choose to make your stuff, they will let others find it too on (Google of course).
Start here – http://base.google.com/base/about.html
Then check out the actual Google Base beta site here – http://www.google.com/base
If you want to know how people are using it, look at the group discussions google base blog here – http://googlebase.blogspot.com/
Yes Google base has been around for awhile know, But what has it become. I have summited my websites but if you do a search for a keyword about your website you get hundreds of the same listing over and over again google base is not being monitered, for spam posts.
I Know google crawls google base. So there really only good as a backlink a doubt being listed will get you a better ranking in googles main search

Google Base is a PR8 so putting your website in there directory is a very good backlink.
Only draw back is you must either be a member for Google.com adsense or adword. Or you will have to sign up before you can list your site. Your site will be listed for only 15 days if you list in there categories, If you create your own your listing never expires.
Try it.. won’t hurt your site
