Want the major search engines to find your web page? (Note: If your web site is really a blog site, you can ignore this. Blogs are structurally search-engine friendly, which is why I recommend them as the kind of web site to have.)

If you wait, it may take months for Google and other search engines to find your web site (again, this doesn’t apply to blogs).

However, it need only take you just a few seconds. You dont have to use anyone’s service. And for heaven’s sake, don’t pay someone to do this for you!

All you have to do is:

Step 1. Go to www.google.com. See the search box? Type in the full url of your web page, in quotes.

It will say it can’t find it. That’s okay. The fact that you just searched for it will tell it to go out and find it.

Double check in a few days. Voila! You should find the page.

If the page is an article, you can also do the same thing with the article title. Again, in quotation marks.

Step 2. Do the same thing with www.msn.com and www.yahoo.com.

Step 3. Do this for ALL your web pages.

Now wasn’t that simple?
