Yes, Google is big but you can get your site listed in
24 to 48 hours. Go to Google and look at "Submit a Site". STOP! That is
exactly what everyone does and it takes months to get listed that way.
Now you if want to wait for your new website to appear
in Google, stop reading this.
Here's the trick. Get a high Page Rank site to link to
you. A PR (page rank) of 5 or higher will do the trick. Yes, it is that
simple.
This won't guarantee you the #1 slot for all your
keywords but it's a great start. At least you can be found. Google
currently takes 6 to 9 months for a new site to appear - not even rank
- but appear.
