Google is by far the most important search engine. Apart from their own site receiving 350 million searches per day, they also provide the search results for AOL Search, ICQ Search, and Netscape Search (amongst others). For this reason, most optimizers first focus on Google.
Getting your business on the Internet is easy. But getting business from the Internet is not quite so simple.
Achieving meaningful online results for your business takes more than just the latest technology and programming gimmicks.
You must be found and where better to be found than on the mother of all search engines.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Submit to Google Here
You can submit your site to Google here, http://www.google.com/addurl/ and probably your site will be indexed in around 1-2 months. Please keep in mind that Google may ignore your submission request for a long time. Even in case it happens to crawl your site, it may not actually index it if there are no links pointing to it. However, if Google finds your site by following the links from other pages that have already been indexed and are regularly re-spidered, all chances are that you will be included without any submission. These chances are much higher if Google finds your site by reading a directory listing, such as DMOZ (www.dmoz.org).
So, you can submit your site and it may help but links are the best way to get indexed.

Feed Google All Your Web Pages
If you want and need traffic to your website and you want it now, try submitting your web site to Google Sitemaps. What is a Google Sitemap? A Google Sitemap is a very simple XML document that lists all the pages in your website.
