May 12, 2009 Mommy Works on Getting Her Site Indexed

So, I was looking into the earnings of this site (which are none so far) and stumbled across some tools for webmasters on the Google site. Apparently, my website hasn't been indexed yet. For those who don't know, which included me until last night, indexed means your site is on the list of sites that can possibly come up when people do a search, such as with Google. According to Google, their spider program "crawls" the web looking for new sites or changes to existing sites and reports back. Theoretically, it should eventually find my site, but from time to time it misses a site because it isn't connected enough to the rest of the web. That's probably what's wrong with this site, since I've just started it and it still is a little short on content. Thankfully, you can submit your URL for consideration. While there's no guarantee that my site will be indexed, if I keep working on improving this site, I've got a better chance it will happen. I'm also going to submit a sitemap, so I'm sure my odds are good. For anyone else who has a website and wants to register it with Google, here's the link to their Webmaster Tools.
