Dear Twin Swans,
First of all, let me say it - your site is beautiful. Second, and that
is very important - Google Answers is not linked with the Google
Index, and I am not a Google employee. I am, though, sort of an expert
on search engine submission, and in particular in Google submission.
Google doesn't work like many other search engines, which are
men-edited. Google has a robot, which crawls between sites' links to
other sites, thereafter indexing them. Moreover, as much as a site is
linked by other sites, it has more chances to be indexed.
The reason you don't appear in Google's search engine could be, that
you haven't been crawled to yet. That might be because you are not
linked to any site, and no site links to you. In other words, the
first step you have to take in order to ensure a Google indexing, is
to convince as many other site holders to link you site to theirs. For
example, sites of French departments in schools and colleges, French
book stores, etc (some may ask you to link theirs in return, that's
the way it is). You can also "advertise" you site in Google Groups
that specialise in the French language, thus maintaining the option
that people would voluntarily link to you. Another fool proof method
to be linked and indexed is to insert yourself to the Google Directory
and in other translation directories
(http://directory.google.com/Top/Science/Social_Sciences/Language_and_Linguistics/Translation/Directories/).
All you have to do is choose a category in the directory, that would
describe you the best, and using the "submit a site" option.

I hope that answered your question. Please contact me for
clarifications on the answer. I'd be pleased to clarify my answer
before you rate it. |
