This may be a stupid question, but how do you make your site show up on google?

Sep 27 2009

I don’t want to buy adwords, I just want it to come up in google’s search-results.

I made my site a few weeks ago, samstiedyes.com. if you google samstiedyes, all you get is the yahoo-answers questions I’ve asked about it!

do you HAVE to pay top get your site on google?

    First you have to be patient and wait until Google indexes your website. Your domain has never been registered so it will take a bit for Google to find it. Here’s an article on how to get the googlebot to visit your website:

    Google probably won’t index your site quickly because it doesn’t have any meta tags on the pages and not enough text on the home page.

    Here’s how to do the meta tags:

    For the text you need a lot more than you have to describe your site and what you are selling. Your keywords for your site should contain "tie-dye t-shirts" so you should have that phrase repeated a few times in your description but not too much. You can talk about the different types of tie-dye shirts you offer.

    Some other suggestions….Your t-shirts look really good. I think if you had a more professional website you could really make some sales. Your shirts in the gallery should be taken on a white background. (It looks like they are on the floor.) White backgrounds look more professional. If the shirts are the ones the customers can order specifically, you could some Paypal Buy Me Buttons so that the customers can buy the shirts directly. Also if you do get a web professional design you should charge at least $25-$30+shipping for the shirts.

    you cant google scans all the websites in the world and add them to there website. You pay big money to be up the top like flowers or books. So you cant add websites but only remove them

    It’s an art and a science. One hint:

    pages 374-375 of the book, Google Hacks, is a "general" formula, written by Brett Tabke, who is the originator of the other set of hints, the vast website where discussions of this topic are always happening:
