I started a free blog through google, but it's not showing up in any searches (google, blogger, etc.). How do I make it visible so others can find it? Thanks MO
Get a couple of backlinks, in other words get people to link to your site. Learn about pagerank. Search, "pagerank" on Google. Get sites with pagerank (PR) to link to your site and the googlebot will come. That's it.
Please excuse my ignorance. Does pagerank cost anything? What about using keywords on my blog? How do I do that? Or, should I say, is it even possible?? I appreciate all of your help!! Sincerely, MO
Couple other options: - Get some directory links, these are often free - See if you can do a link exchange with another blogger (for the most success, pick another small blog, but one that is listed in Google) - Create a simple sitemap and submit it to Google - Post relevant posts/questions/responses here on DP for a few days (or other forums) until you have enough posts to get a signature (I think you only need 20 or 25).

Get some links pointing to your blog and you should be indexed . Do some directory submissions , place the link in your signatures etc etc
Thanks for all your help! My blog is http://medicalschooladmission.blogspot.com/ Please critique as you see fit. I have no ads up yet. I'm waiting a few days until I build up content and learn a little more. Then, I'll apply to Google Adsense and see what happens. I am so thankful I found this site. I appreciate all of your input and feedback. Thanks MO
