Google Search Engine - 29.5% of searches

Google is everyone’s favorite search engine, but how do you get your website listed?

First there is the submission form, located on their website.

The instructions provided by Google are pretty straightforward: submit your top-level page and Google will spider the rest of the website.

However, submitting your website this way does not guarantee that you’ll be indexed.

Google has always preferred to find new websites by spidering existing sites in its index and following new links from there.

If you want to increase your chances of seeing your website indexed, find some quality websites or directories to link to your new site now.

You don’t need hundreds of links, but 3-5 quality links at this stage will encourage Google to index your site.

Google typically updates its full index once a month, so do not panic if 4 weeks have gone by and there’s still no sign of being indexed.

However, if after 6 weeks, you site is still not indexed, concentrate on adding more quality links and work on getting listed in the Open Directory.
