    You want to make a crawler to crawl your own website, or have another search engine crawl you?

    If you want to make your own crawler, it would take a bit of coding or there are lots of places you can get some code to start with.

    If you want to be crawled, that's much easier. First thing I would probably do is setup a sitemap. You can find out more at www.sitemaps.org. Then go to the various 'add url' of search engines and submit your site.

    You could use a service like this one: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

    There was a discussion on WMW the other day about whether site scrapers were taking advantage of XML site maps. The consensus was that they are useful for scrapers, but even without them, a determined thief will still get your data.

    If you meant how Google could crawl your site, then the answer is create a sitemap. There are resources at Google webmasters to help you. You also need a robots.txt file. Lastly, look for a site which has already been indexed by Google and link from there.
