You could submit the HTML archive of your FAQ's URL to any search engine. I'm
fairly happy with mine and It almost seems we get an unfair advantage because
we get automatic exposure in Usenet and the LoPiP then attempt to get a high
position on the search engines, too. But then again, we attempt to provide
the most wanted info in one place and should have a higher ranking (if we do
a good job).
