Web Design: How do I add my site to Google's search results?

Jun 22, 2006 by Jennifer Farley    No Comments    Posted under: Website Design

How do I add my site to Google’s search results? This is a question that many of our clients ask.

It’s really easy to submit a site to Google – you can do it here and it’s free.

To get the answer to the question straight from the horse’s mouth, you can read Google’s own guidelines. They actually say that it is unnecessary to submit your site to Google (I’d still do it anyway!). Google uses software known as “spiders” to crawl the web on a regular basis and find sites to add to the index.

If a site is missed by a spider it could be because of one of the following reasons;

• The site is not well connected with other sites through an inbound linking structure.
• The site launched after Google’s most recent crawl was completed.
• Poor web site design makes it difficult for Google to effectively crawl your content.
• The site was temporarily unavailable at the time of crawling or an error was received.

Laughing Lion Design submit all their clients websites to Google and the other major search engines.
