Dear TeeTeeSuzuki,
First of all, 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
human-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 first step you should do is suggest your site for crawling,
through the link FreeBay had suggested:
Add URL to Google - Submit a Site
<://www.google.com/addurl.html>
However, because of the way the search engine works - crawling through
links that other sites link to you (these links are called "back
links" - linking back to your site) submission to the "submit a site"
option is usually not enough. You have to be linked to other sites.
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.
So, the next important 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 related to people renting/sharing
flats (as these people tend to move a lot), students' directories
(ditto), commercial directories in London listing movers, etc (some of
these site may ask you to link theirs in return, that's the way it
is).
You can also "advertise" your site in Google Groups
(http://groups.google.com/) that discuss moving/flats issues, thus
maintaining the option that people would voluntarily link to you.
However, be careful not to flood the lists or to spam them - this will
create bad image or worse - make people complain to your ISP.
Another fool proof method to be linked and indexed is to insert
yourself to the Google Directory (http://directory.google.com/). 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. |
