In which month/year did you first submit it to Google?

Tesh,

Your site *has* been crawled by Google.

It comes up on a search for:
www.geocities.com/tesh76/
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=www.geocities.com%2Ftesh76%2F&btnG=Google+Search

However, it does not come up on a search for:
www.geocities.com/tesh76
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=www.geocities.com%2Ftesh76&btnG=Google+Search

This is most likely because it has been indexed in a preliminary
crawl, but has not yet been filed in the permanent Google index --
usually Google will find it with or without the extra slash (/) at the
end.

You might try submitting your URL (without the ending slash) to Google
on this page:
://www.google.com/addurl.html

In the meantime, notice that "Tesh" only appears once on this page,
"Teshome" once, "Seyoum" twice, and "Tesh76" not at all. So your
"keyword density" for these words is not great -- if you want a search
on them to find your site, each of these words should appear on your
page 3 times.

If you only recently submitted, wait some more weeks. In the meantime
it can't hurt to put "Tesh Seyoum" in the title as well.
