Hi all ! Great site btw . Ive setup a site recently and its listed on most other Search Engines.. Im working on improving it but it think its ok for now... Work in Progress Ive setup Google Sitemaps and theyve downloaded the sitemap. But the results are empty ... I also dont show up in Googles Index... Anyhoo! My Site is http://www.sparksflying.com Thanks all!
No but submitting your site to directories and search engines and getting some links from other sites to your site will help a lot.
it took roughly 10 days for google to index my new site. I submitted it to a couple of directories and had link exchanges with a few sites.
Thanks all.. Im begining to see the picture a little clearer! Ive picked a site thats well up there , check the links in yahoo and am posting to those... And to all and every directory i can think of... thanks again from a newbie!
You can also look at 3 way link exchanges as a method of building backlinks. Try and exchange with sites on your theme.
I beg to differ, really: sure, links are the de facto way to get into google (and pretty much every other search engine), but directories are not your ticket to a quick entry; directories are human-edited, and tend to be very, very slow. most people have places online they can place links that'll get their site indexed that they don't even realize. anywhere from your dmoz profile to in the appropriate section under wikipedia to your "homepage" button on most forums all work. then there's asking your friends to help out, too ;-)
Check your website on this link myglobalpr.com you seem to have 22 backlins in google and 1 indexed page. Good luck
Check what Markus said dude... why are you bringing up threads that serve so value. ... try reading through the whole thread..
If you have other sites where you can place links to your new site, the time for Google to index the new site is about 10 days.
