Help with my first website.

Hi all,
I've built a website and have links to WCG and BOINC but I have no idea how to get my website to show up on google or yahoo. All the site is is just for people who don't know too much about pc's so a person doesn't go out and buy a $1000 pc just to surf the net and do office work. (Inspired by my friend who has a $3000 laptop when she only needed a used $200 one to do what she does) but yeah, any help would be nice. Oh, and the website is www.pc4me.50megs.com if anyone's interested.

Let them find you.

Google just needs a link into your website and it will poke around and index it for you. They have such a good index that they don't really bother with URL submissions.

Make sure there is a link into your website from somewhere that Google already indexes.

Hello Sythem,
You can validate your site at http://validator.w3.org/ It only lists 17 errors. Not bad at all.

Re: Help with my first website.

It might just help if you visit this link

http://www.google.co.uk/addurl/?hl=en&continue=/addurl

This might tip them off that you are about

Then if you really want to push the boat out sign up with Yahoo and submit there

The last thing to do would be add your URL to http://www.dmoz.org/ and you'll be home and dry and appearing on 90+% of the world search engines as they all drive the contents of each other

You'll need a bit of patience as with everything advertising it will take 3 months to get properly noticed

Just make sure you have great content (i.e. the site talks about what it is) and great tags in your meta description and keywords.

It also helps to post to specific searches for your kind of site it might help to post that subliminal message on a forum such as Tom's Hardware for example

p.s. it's my fault this forum contents isn't listed on Google (It was in the early days!!) it's just nice to talk to the world privately blushing

Re: Help with my first website.

n.b the redirect will be the first page the serach engine will see

not a good start sad

The page they need to see first is the page with the content
