Getting Listed with Google

 

To get your site listed in Google, enter the URL of your home page and a description for your site here: http://www.google.com/addurl.html.

 

Google sends out bots (Freshbot and Deep Crawl) during the month.  Freshbot crawls the web looking for new and modified sites.   After freshbot has found your site, googlebot is set to spyder your site later in the month.  Freshbot may or may not come back.  Your site will be in and out of Google's listings for approximately up to two months, depending on when  your site was published.  Googlebot is then set to spyder your site later in the month.

 

When your site is listed as a Fresh update, there is no guarantee that the pages will be listed in Google's index at the next update. 

 

You can check your access logs to see if Google has visited your site. 

  • Freshbot -     Has an IP address of  64.68.82.xxx

  • Deep Crawl - Has an IP address of  216.239.46.zzz

 Google Dance

 

 

Once a month, Google updates its entire index of sites.  This is known as the Google Dance and occurs once a month (generally from the 23rd - 30th).  Page ranks are recalculated approximately 40 times. Google updates its' large indexes on more than 10,000 servers from coast to coast. All of these indexes cannot be updated at once, therefore it takes time to update one server after another. Currently, these servers are placed in seven different data centers.  When a query is made during the Google Dance, the results may come from a data center that has not received the updated index.  The "Google Dance" Tool will allow you to view search results from three different servers simultaneously. Data is migrated from www2 and www3 into the main database over a period of 2-6 days.  You can also sign up to receive an alert when the Google Dance begins.

Page Rank

 

The Google Toolbar ranks your web pages. Your rank is based on a number of things.  Basically, your page rank is increased by having more inbound links from other higher ranked pages.  This article has in-depth information on Page Rank http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html.

 

Getting listed in dmoz (Open Directory Project), will automatically get you listed in the Google Directory. If a site is ranked high enough it will have a green bar listed to the left of it.  (See details on how this green bar is calculated.)
