I am building a site for a stone company. The addy is: http://www.stonezoneco.com. How can i get it to show up in google/yahoo searches? Any help would be great!

Their web crawlers will find it all by themselves. But if you want, all the search engines have guidelines on submitting urls. Then there are the 'elite services' that will charge an arm and perhaps a leg to do the submissions for you.

Just go to http://www.google.com/addurl/ and submit it yourself. It will take a couple of weeks, but then all search engines will steal the listing ... it will show up everywhere.

If you want it to be listed faster, then you have to pay. Also, if you have dynamic content that needs to be updated regularly -- and you want the updates to show up fast .... you can either pay or make a deal directly with Google. Some content providers (like online newspapers and magazines) ... are signed up with Google (and others) for quick listings of new content.

Heh, small world - I live very close to that place.

Basically, like everyone said, you just wait. You can also put this code in the HEAD of your html:


Just replace the content stuff with what you want it to say in the blurb on Google. That should help when it does show up on Google.
