Submission to search engine...

michael_23

Hi folks,

I just made a new site and I now want to get it up the listings in Google etc.

I have submitted the site to google, how long does it take before the site shows up in a google search??

Also are there any other approaches i can take to improve the organic search results outside of meta tags.?

Cheers

make and submit a sitemap, you can do it in webmaster tools
set up an account on google webmaster tools and google analytics.
Submit it to this site http://www.dmoz.org/help/submit.html apparently google likes this site.

You should start to see results in 1/2 days.

sheesh

create a site map there are different versions afaik for yahoo and google and then just follow the instructions on each site
and dmoz.org is good too as it is checked by humans .but make sure that if you are submitting it to them that everything is correct the will not list sites that spam meta tags. they like banning people for that.

other than that try to get links fropm quality sites it will improve the google rankings.

try to have a different page title for each page the title should be descriptive and revelant to the content in the page.

Use semantic markup (headers that are actually headers, etc) and avoid Flash like the plague.
