I'm trying to find my own website by search and it doesn't come up. What can I do to improve my chances?

OK.  There are two things I can think of.  First, make sure to submit your site to the Yahoo! search engine.  The link is http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html?fr=FP-tab-web-t.  The second is that you just recently added your site and so..it takes a while to get into the system.  I know someone who is fairly Internet savy and he says it takes about a year to start getting hits on a major search engine.  It looks like Yahoo! may have ways you can pay around that, though.  You may want to hit the Google search engine, too, since a lot of other searech engines will piggy-back off of it.  You can try contacting other websites for links, though, and that might get you some traffic until then.  When you do put your site in the search engine, remember to add META-tags onto your website to get more hits.  I can't remember off of the top of my head how to do them just now, but if you type it into a search engine, you should be able to figure it out.

The major search engines will find your website by crawling other sites and finding your link from there. The important thing is to get your site listed in directories where it'll be found by all search engines, as well as users just browsing. The two directories you should try to get your site listed in first are the Yahoo! Directory and DMOZ. Good luck!

You should learn how to create your search queries. I try other search engines but I always end up going back to google. It gives me exactly what I'm looking for, not what others think I want. \nOther search engines are too simplified for me.\n\nBut that's why everyone has a preference.

Get your site listed in DMOZ. This is what the search engines use to find new sites. Put it in this catagory under the letter of your last name:\nhttp://www.dmoz.com/Society/People/Personal_Homepages/\n\nBe sure to read the submission guidelines as they are VERY picky about format.\n\nIf you know people who have sites listed in search engines, ask them to provide a link to your site and search engines can find you.

If you haven't done so already, you should submit your site to Yahoo for inclusion in their search engine. See the link below for instructions.

Word of mouth is your best bet. Also, you can find in yahoo and google and such a way to put your site into their search engine. This takes some time because they send these page crawlers through your site to a) check if it is legal and b) look for key words that will cause your site to load when someone is searching for something.

by putting your site address again and again on yahoo. How? You see when you search somthing at the last of the page there is one link called "Suggest a site". Suggest your site every now and then. atleast your site would be on top of the search results. \n\nAll the best.

Orkut.com is a beta service and many things are\nsub-functional at the moment.\nI have noticed items not coming up in the search \npage, either (for example, new users).\nIt might take a while for them to appear or even worse,\nthey might never appear.\nYou can try sending them a customer service request\nbut the ones I have sent them in the past were never\nacknowledged. Oh, well....

ok..... \nwell, starting your own search engine doesn't require much of an effort. \n\nJust start hosting a website. Set up initial pages using a server side scripting language. \n\nDownload and install Crawlers on your server. \n\nAdvertise your search engine and let the crawlers do their job..\n\nThen you can expand on the start !

I'm guessing your computer doesn't have a search engine, right?

work on getting your website ranked higher on the search engines.  List yourself in open directories and get a lot of others to link to your site.\n\nAdvertise your site if it's within your budget. Plug your site whenever you can - like you did here.  Add it to your signature on your outgoing emails.  Radio interviews and articles can help too.  Send out a press release and see who you can pay to pick it up.

I've been trying to find a free search site for 3 days now and so far I haven't. You should also beware of the sites that want to charge you. Some of them just direct you to another site after you have already paid to another site that will try to charge you.

Create more pages. Make sure the homepage has links to each new page on it, or try a sitemap not only as a webpage but also the kind that search engines use https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login\n\nTry submitting your website to directories like http://www.limerex.com , http://www.tatet.com/ , http://www.slackalice.com/ , http://www.lookdirectory.com/ , http://www.dmoz.org\nand exchanging links with other websites that have similar content to yours.
