I own a web site, http://www.whistlerskiaccommodations.com.  When I
input this website into Google, I get a response that it doesn't
exist?  Can you tell me why it doesn't come up in the inquiry?

Have you added the site through Google's submit page?

yes, I have added the site, however www.whistlerskiaccommodations
doesn't show up when input in a search and the key words whistler ski
accommodations do not pull the site on any of the 30 pages.

How long ago did you submit it? It can take a few weeks before Google
will add it to its index.

Hello Imtapps ~

A check on whois.net shows the domain whistlerskiaccommodations.com
was established on 08-14-2003.

This is less than a month old, which is not an excessive amount of
time to wait for your submission to Google's search engine.



=========================
Getting Your Site Listed
=========================

Google states on its Add URL page, "We do not add all submitted URLs
to our index, and we cannot make any predictions or guarantees about
when or if they will appear."
   - ://www.google.com/addurl.html

In "What else can I do to get listed in Google?", Google suggests
registering your site with the Open Project Directory (dmoz.org) and
Yahoo!, and states, " Once your site is included in either of these
directories, Google will often index your site within six to eight
weeks."

Google offers information on how to develop a Google-friendly website.
Web designers who use the recommendations and suggestions have a much
easier time getting their site listed.

Start with "How do I get my site listed on Google?"
   - ://www.google.com/webmasters

and Google's Webmaster Guidelines, 
   - ://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html


And note in Google's "Submitting Your Site" Google states:

     "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."
   - ://www.google.com/webmasters/1.html#A2


Good design and establishing relevant links to your site will go a far
way in getting your site listed.


=========================
Patience Is
The Name of the Game
=========================

After you have submitted your site, then you wait to get it listed.
Google says, "If we have not picked up your site and it has been
several months, then it is likely that our spiders are not able to
find your site. If you increase the links pointing to the page, Google
will likely find your site in the future."

Good luck,
