When you've spent ages building a carefully crafted web page, with great, interesting content and with careful observation of the basic seo techniques, it can be nothing short of crushing to find that it hasn’t been indexed by Google and that it as such hasn’t yet been read by anyone. The single most important way to get your site seen by lots of people is that Google indexes it. Sure you want your site to rank highly, but if it doesn't get indexed then it won’t rank at all and thousands if not millions of people will fail to find your website at all as a result. The rest of SEO is fairly pointless if you don't even rank with the search engines and the most important search engine to rank with is of course Google. The faster you do this, the faster you can start increasing the number of hits on your site.
To help your website to get indexed there are a few simple things you can do. First of all you should submit your site to Google. Eventually your site will get indexed if you just leave it, but a far faster way to get it indexed is to manually submit it which will involve writing the URL and some basic details about your site. Don't try and spam or use underhand methods to raise your position as these won't work - just write an honest description of your site. This shouldn't take too long and it's quite a simple process. However what could take quite a long time is submitting to every other search engine manually. As such you may want to use an automated programme for this and there are many sites that will submit all your details to a range of search engines which will help you to submit to many more far more quickly.
One important thing to do when you go through this submitting process is to create a site map. A site map essentially should contain links to every page on your website in an organised fashion that someone can quickly find your page. When you submit your site to Google then, it will give you the opportunity to submit a page as your site index and this will help it’s spiders to much more quickly index you entire site rather than just the index page and a few others.
Finally use old fashioned link building and point as many links as you can to your new page. For example, if you tend to use eZine articles as a way to build links (submitting articles to the article directory and including links back to your site), then you should also do this for a few of your individual pages. At the same time you can also post links to your pages on forums and social networking sites. This way there will be links to your new pages on sites that Google already recognises and ranks highly and this will ensure that it finds your new pages more quickly.
