How do you get your HTML website live on search engines?

Answer 1

In the 'head' section of your pages HTML code make sure you have specified a 'description' and 'keywords' associated with your site and content.

For example:

Photography, Joe, Bloggs, Photos, Professional, Portfolio" />

When people search in Google for example, the search engine picks up your websites keywords and description and will feed it back to the searcher if it is relevant to what they are looking for.

Google have a web spider (as such) which crawls the web every so-often that attempts to document all content on the web. It will look for and document your website and its pages and content using your keywords and description, which is then able to be searched for.

If your site is relatively new it may not appear in searches for a few days, if not up to a few weeks depending on when the next web crawl is.

If you've done the meta description and meta keywords then be patient, it will appear! Alternately I believe you can send Google your sites details and they will add it to their archives, but don't quote me on this!

Hope this helped :)
