Hi,
Can anyone tell me a good way to get listed with Google. I have tried all the conventinal methods like submitting site to google, getting links on other sites, making site easy to navigate etc etc. Does anyone know a better way. What I am looking for is Google to find my site just by putting a search like "Keltic Stone". This is my firend's site and if you search for Keltic Stone, he is always first in the list. He had this site designed by a web designer and I don't know he gets listed every time.
Please help!!
Many thanks,
Glenn.
Not "listed" with Google.
This web site is not "listed" with Google. It simply comes up with a search (see below):

The above comes up on page 7 of a Google Search: "Here's to You" +Tripod . "Here's to you" is the name of my Home Page; Tripod is the Host.
Does this help?
have you put lots of key words in? and does the text you've used have lots of key words in that people would use to find you?
that worked for me
plus links to high profile sites helps if there are ones you can have mutual links with
also you need to update regularly as it will slip down the ratings if you don't
Glenn,
As long as search engines are able to crawl and index the site (not blocked by robots.txt exclusions or meta tags telling them not to, not banned by them etc) the major 3 search engines just need to find a link on a page in their index.
One easy way to do it would be to bookmark the site on social bookmarking sites that are indexed by search engines. That can usually get the site indexed.
A directory listing in a decent directory should do it as well. It really just takes one link that they find and they'll usually come and have a look.
