Clan forum searchable in google - How to get your site listed in Google

[FannyShaver]

How can I add my website so google will show it?

http://www.google.co.uk/addurl/

 

[FannyShaver]

Did that, still not searchable. :/

 

[UndeadDragon]

How long have you waited?

If it's a free forum host that looks like myclanname.someforumhost.com, adding it with addurl won't help much.

Also: don't expect to be number one in search results straight off the bat. There's a reason why SEO exists.

Try specifying accurate meta tags for starters and use google webmaster tools to search for other flaws in your website.

Well, I added that like a week ago. Thing is, that if you search for my clan website nothing comes up apart from the link to battle.net website. Then simply nothing so basicly, my clan website is like an exact match.

To see if it's indexed search:

site:yourdomain.com

 

[FannyShaver]

site:clanvzp.forumotion.com

I was supposed to search it in google?
If so, no results.

Yeah, looks like it's not indexed yet.

 

[FannyShaver]

How do I index it then?

 

[UndeadDragon]

If you have sumbitted it to Google, you will just have to wait.

It could also help if you link to it from popular sites.

Looks like googlebot isn't forbidden, but you'll probably need more content before you'll get any sort of rank on google.

You want your site indexed? Post a link to it here. It will get indexed eventually.

 

[FannyShaver]

Clanvzp.forumotion.com

 

[codemonkey]

Clanvzp.forumotion.com

You need to link it with the http:// or else google won't pick up on it.

http://clanvzp.forumotion.com - There you go.

 

[FannyShaver]

Mate, in the link you gave me it clearly says that I have to add http, I did.

HAHA. I does search clanvzp.forumotion, but in THIS topic

No I mean when linking to it from this forum google searches for http:// links.

And yeah it's not indexed yet but I'm sure it will be soon.

How long does it usually take? Still nothing there.
