Regarding Google Keyword Search Database Inclusion
Since you're wondering about google keyword search database inclusion for
any website, you may want to know whether
your web-site is currently included in our google search index. To find out,
perform a Google search for its entire URL. For example, a search for [
www.google.com ]
returns the following result:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=www.google.com. If your site
returns as a result, it's included in our google keyword search index.
Google only provides a limited amount of information about getting a
web-site included, and we have listed the information that Google provides
below.
Inclusion in the Google search results is free. It's not necessary to submit
your site to Google. In fact, the vast majority of sites listed aren't
manually submitted for inclusion. Google is a fully automated search engine
that uses software known as "spiders" to crawl the web on regular basis to
find sites for inclusion in our index.
Although Google crawls more than eight billion pages, it's inevitable that
some sites will be missed. When our spiders miss a site, it's frequently for
one of the following reasons:
- The site isn't well connected through multiple links to others on the web.
- The site launched after Google's most recent crawl was completed.
- The design of the site makes it difficult to effectively crawl its
content.
Our intent is to represent the content of the internet fairly and
accurately. To help make this goal a reality, we offer guidelines for
building a "crawler-friendly" site:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
There are no guarantees that a particular site will be found by our spiders,
but following these guidelines should increase your site's chances of
showing up in our search results.
THINGS TO DO
Provide high-quality content on your pages -- especially your homepage. This
is the single most important thing to do. If your pages contain useful
information, their content will attract many visitors and entice webmasters
to link to your site. In creating a helpful, information-rich site, write
pages that clearly and accurately describe your topic. Think
about the words users would type to find your pages and include them on your
site.
Make sure that other sites link to yours. Links help our crawlers find your
site and can give your site greater visibility in our search results. When
returning results for a search, Google combines PageRank (our measure of a
page's importance) with sophisticated text-matching techniques to display
pages that are both important and relevant to each search.
Google counts the number of votes a page receives to determine its PageRank,
interpreting a link from page A to page B as a vote by page A for page B.
Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and
help to make other pages "important." Please note that ranking of sites in
our search results is completely automated, and we do not manually
assign keywords to sites.
Build your site with a logical link structure. Every page should be
reachable from at least one static text link. If certain areas are not
linked, you may be excluding older browsers, some users, and Google.
Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site. Most spiders see your
site much as Lynx would. If features such as JavaScript, cookies, session
IDs, frames, DHTML, or Macromedia Flash keep you from seeing your entire
site in a text browser, then spiders may have trouble crawling it.
Consider creating static copies of dynamic pages. Although the Google index
includes dynamic pages, they comprise a small portion of our index. If you
suspect that your dynamically generated pages (such as URLs containing
question marks) are causing problems for our crawler, you might create
static copies of these pages. If you do, don't forget to add the
dynamic pages to your robots.txt file to prevent us from treating them as
duplicates.
THINGS TO AVOID
Don't fill your page with lists of keywords, attempt to "cloak" pages, or
put up "crawler only" pages. If your site contains pages, links, or text
that you do not intend visitors to see, Google considers them deceptive and
may ignore your site.
Don't feel obligated to purchase a search optimization service. Some
companies claim to "guarantee" your site high ranking in Google's search
results. While legitimate consulting firms can improve your site's flow and
content, others employ deceptive tactics in an attempt to fool search
engines. Be careful; if your domain is affiliated with one of these
deceptive services, it could be banned from our index.
Don't use images to display important names, content, or links. Our crawler
doesn't recognize text contained in graphics. Use ALT tags if the main
content and keywords on your page can't be formatted in regular HTML.
Don't create multiple copies of a page under different URLs. Many sites
offer text-only or printer-friendly versions of pages that contain the same
content as the corresponding graphic-rich pages. In order to ensure that
your preferred page is included in our search results, you'll need to block
duplicates from our spiders using a robots.txt file.
