How to make your blog show up on search engines – Countdown to 11/11/11 11:11:11!

0 Comments 26 February 2010

Is your blog not showing up when you search for it on Google? Can you not find it when you search on Yahoo? Well here’s a way to make it.

First off, I will start with telling you how search engines like Google and Yahoo work. Google will send out a whole bunch of “Crawlers”. What these crawlers will do is go to websites, then go to every single link it can find on that web page. It is going to add all of those pages onto the index, then visit every link on all of those pages and add them as well. This is going to keep happening and happening until it can’t find any more links. This is why Google’s index is so large.

So, how you are going to get Google to “crawl” your link? Well, first of all you are going to want to find a page that you can change in any way that shows up when you search for something like it on Google. This could just be a comment, although you are going try to have it stay there for as long as possible. You are going to want to get as many pages that show up on Google to link to your website. For example, I am going to make this web page link to my site Countdown to 11/11/11 11:11:11. Now, this is going to increase my pagerank on the Countdown to 11 website. You should do something like that for your website. Then, once you do that, you are going to want to add “Meta Tags”. By doing that you will add this (the stuff in italics) to your web page.

<head>

<title>Your site title</title>

<meta name=”description” content=”Your site description.”>

<meta name=”keywords” content=Keywords you want on your site (Separated by commas)”>

</head>

This is going to increase your pagerank based on how relative your site is. Also, this stuff is going to show up when you search for your site on Google.

In case you didn’t know, pagerank is what tells how high on the search engine your page will be. How many links on sites go to your site and Meta tags tell your page rank.

Now, if you did everything I told you, your website should show up on Google in a month or so. Another way to add it (And doing what is above will increase the pagerank even if you add it this way) is to go to http://www.google.com/addurl.html and submit it. Your site may not get put up that way though, but it might.

PS: By the way, feel free to visit “Countdown to 11/11/11 11:11:11!”. It’s a pointless website though.
