I cannot seem to get Google to recognize my website (
http://www.theedwardsociety.com ). I have submitted the URL about once
a week for four months or so, I have got other people's sites to link
to mine, I have made sure that my keywords and description are
correct. I have no idea what else to do. Please help.

Hello Mymantaray:

The reason Google can't recognize your site is that basically, there
is nothing there for it to see.

Your landing page has a graphic with no ALT tag to identify it and a
link to another page which would have a much greater chance of being
indexed if you used that as your main page.

In order to get your site listed, you might want to follow the
guidelines Google offers with regard to page layout and design. (See
both "Design and Content Guidelines" and "Technical Guidelines")
  - ://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

By changing your landing page to include those items in the Webmaster
Guidelines and by following suggestions in Google's "Getting Listed"
information page, specifically, "The best way to ensure Google finds
your site is for your page to be linked from lots of pages on other
sites. Google's robots jump from page to page on the Web via
hyperlinks, so the more sites that link to you, the more likely it is
that we'll find you quickly" ("A. Submit Your URL"), you stand a much
better chance in getting your site listed in Google.
  - ://www.google.com/webmasters/1.html

And once you have made the changes, you can submit your site to Google
on Google's Add URL page:
  - ://www.google.com/addurl.html

Good luck!
