Now you have a website. A designer you found online made the site. You love the way it looks. Now 6 Months have passed and the site hasn't accomplished anything. You were expecting a huge increase in sales and customers. Why haven't sales increased? Why doesn't your site get any traffic?

If your site does not show up on Google, that could explain your poor results. When people searching in Google for your product or service, your website needs to appear. What makes Google so important? Google is used by more surfers than any other search engine. In order to succeed, your website needs to show up on Google to get some of that traffic. It is imperative that your site show up on Google.

There are simple methods to get your site indexed by Google. There are many methods which result in a site being indexed, some simple and some a little bit more difficult. The easiest methods are: submit your url to Google directly, get a backlink from an established (already in Google) website, or write an article about a topic related to your site and submit it to article directories.

Using Google's add url page to submit your site is easy, but not very effective. Your site will be added to the que of sites waiting to get added, which may or may not end up happening. Google likes to find your site by following a link from a site already in their index.

Another method is to get a website that shows up in Google's search results to link to your site. Once the Google spider visits that site again, they will follow any links to other sites, which will lead to the discovery of yours. The more popular the site linking to you, the quicker Google will re-crawl them and find your site.

The third and best method is to write an article about a topic related to the content of your site. The author's details (including a link to his site) are integrated into the article. Article directories are frequently crawled by search engines to find content. When your article gets approved and added to the article directory, the link to your site will surely be found and followed by Google.

These three methods do not require any technical skills whatsoever. Once your site shows up in Google search results, web site optimization will be needed so that the website show up as close to the top of the search results as possible. It is absolutely pivotal to show up on Google searches. Your site's effectiveness depends on it.
