In this article I show you three ways to be listed in Google, including a method that is virtually guaranteed to work.

I constantly surprised by what I find when dealing with customers in search engine optimization.

One of those "surprises" coming through sites that are not listed in Google, although they have been live for many months.

For most sites, with more traffic than Google any other search engine. So it's imperative that your site is indexed in Google.

There are three easy ways to get listed in Google, but only one of them is guaranteed.

1. Direct Mail Google

The first method is to submit your website using Google's free email its site form. Simply submit your home page and Google's crawler, Googlebot, will crawl the rest.

However, Google does not add all URLs to our index, and that there is no guarantee when, or if your site is indexed.

2. Get linked from a site that tracks Google

The second method is to get a site that Google already crawls to link to your site. So when Google recrawls the website, find the link to your site and crawl and index too.

This is the preferred method of Google to find sites with the index.

To get another site to link to yours, just to find a site that links to their competitors and ask them to link to yours. You may have to provide a link to your site in exchange.

You can read my article link popularity "How quickly improve your link popularity." This article will show you how to find exchange partners links.

3. Submit Your Site On Yahoo! Directory & The Open Directory Project Index

The third method is to submit your site from Yahoo! Directory and / or Open Directory Project index, which is owned by Netscape.

From what I understand, this is the only guaranteed method of entry into the Google index.

Google has agreements with Yahoo! and Netscape to include the sites indexed in their directories in Google's index. So submit your site to one or both (recommended), of these directories.

For more information, visit Yahoo! 'S do I suggest a web page and the Open Directory Project adding a site to the Open Directory page.

Once your site is included in any of these directories will appear in the Google index by about 3 to 6 weeks.
