Hello you will probs be sick of hearing this. But can someone please help me get my site on google. Iv heard that you just have to wait till a googlebot crawls the web and indexes your site. But that can take ages!!!!! Is there anyway of getting it listed fast and free of charge????

Please help.

I thin kyou can just goto google.com and click on the more link.

You should find a link / image to submit your site to google. I think that is one way to do it. Although the search spiders shouldn't take long to find you're site.

Entering your URI on google's site doesn't really help that much.
The best you can do is wait and get other people to link to your site. Most sites that say they'll get you better listings are almost always scams and if Google catches you using one, they'll 'ban' you from their listings.

Have a look thorugh some of the following articles:

BTW the add url is www.google.com/addurl

other than from linking from other site`s , You can use Google`s sitemap feature

just save this to sitemap.xml and upload it at google sitemap

Getting a site which is already indexed to link to you is the quickest way to get online.

Google's sitemap does not guarantee any listing at all. That's officially, from them.

5. How long will it take for my URLs to be crawled after I generate and submit a Sitemap?

During this beta period, we can't make any predictions or guarantees about when or if your URLs will be crawled or added to our index. Over time, we expect both coverage and time-to-index to improve as we refine our processes and better understand webmasters' needs.

Personally I have used Googles SiteMap with 2 sites. One of the sitemaps lists 900 pages in a subdomain that it hadn't (and still hasn't) indexed, and has been downloaded quite a few times. It's been in their system for 3 weeks and my logs show no spidering.

The other site I use SiteMap with was already indexed, so I don't know that it had any real affect.

I would be inclined to believe they're still working on their own management/scheduling systems for it and aren't actively spidering the map'd files yet.
