    Why I can't I find my new website when I type it in google??

    Is there a step I missed in creating my micorsoft office live website?  I can get to my address with a direct link.  But, I can't seem to find it at all when I just enter it in the google search?  Any thoughts?

    Hi! 

    In order to make your website appear on the search results listing of major search engines, you will have to first submit your website to the search engines. In order submit your website to the search engines, please visit the links mentioned below: 

    Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl  

    Yahoo Search: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit  

    Live Search: http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx 

    Note: it make take some time (approx 2-3 weeks) to get your website indexed.

    Meta tags are invisible bits of code that search engines often use to index web sites. These meta tags help search engines return the most relevant results for a particular search. You can improve your search engine results by evaluating your keyword and description tags, both of which help to bring your website to the top of a search engine result list. 

    Keywords: Keywords should be words and phrases that your customers would likely use when searching for your website. Keywords can be added or edited in Page Editor, in the ‘Page properties' dialog box, on the ‘Search Engine Optimization' tab. 

    Description tags: Description tags should be two to three sentences that describe what your web page is about-always try to include a keyword or two for best results. When writing your description, remember that some search engines will display it in their search results, so it's important to keep it accurate and appealing. Descriptions can be added or edited in Page Editor, in the ‘Page properties' dialog box, on the ‘Search Engine Optimization' tab.
