I never did either of those but more commonly one could:

3) Join a web-ring

4) Add a link in Usenet signatures

5) Ask to be included in the WWW Links section of your interest group's magazine

Or

6) Not worry about discoverability at all because the Web wasn't about growth and profit

My preference as a publisher and reader was for web-rings, they exemplified the attitude of sharing and mutual assistance on the early Web that has been largely lost nowadays.
