FAQ. How to get your site in Google - Read this first!

Getting your site to show up in Google and other search engines can be more difficult than just adding tags to your site.

The problem is that Google takes a while to locate and index the site. It can be weeks or even months to get this to happen.

The best way to speed up this process is by getting other sites to link to your site. When Google bots crawl those sites, they will find the link coming into your own, and will index your site that way.

Since we don't control Google, we cannot speed up this process for you, unfortunately.

Please do note that many sites hosted by Webs do very well in Google results. If your site is not doing well, the problem is not because it's hosted by Webs. The problem is more likely that the site is new, there are no inbound links from other sites, or the text is not optimized for the search terms you want.

Also, you might want to look through Google's Webmaster Tools here:

You can also submit your site to Google here:

Please note, you only need to post your site ONCE. It can take Google a while to update their listings, and they make no guarantees about when your site will show up in the searches.

If you are really serious about getting your site showing up in Google fast, you might consider purchasing placement through their Adwords program. If you upgrade to a Webs premium package, you get Google Adwords credit that you can use to try out the program and see how it works for you.

To get started with that, click on the Premium tab in your account, then purchase either the Starter, Enhanced, or Pro package.
