How do you get a website "spotted" by search engines? I mean spotted, as opposed to being high up the list. Nick Peed
The web is a network of interlinked pages and search engines use robot "spiders" to crawl it. Any website will be found if it has incoming links. The more incoming links there are, the sooner a site will be noticed and indexed, so get people to link to your site. Most search engines also allow you to submit your site's address or URL: Google's is at http://www.google.com/addurl/. It is also beta testing a way to submit sitemaps at http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/. This doesn't guarantee inclusion. If your site is no good, it may be found and ignored.
