- In my humble opinion, Google is the most important
search engine of them all. Do not try and fool them,
because they will penalize you severely.
-
- I consider Google a ``must get listed" because Yahoo
pulls results from this database as well as their own.
Google is my favorite search engine (I get about half of
my traffic from them:)
-
- Only submit your index page.
Google spiders the web to maintain its index, with
emphasis on content and link popularity. One factor that
determines your rank on Google is the number of links
that point to your site, the quality (popularity) of the
sites that link to your site, the text in and around the
links that point to your site, and who you link to.
Google's web crawler only views the visible text on your
page. The meta description and keywords have little
influence on Google's rankings. Google has become
aggressive when it comes to elimination of spam.
-
- TIP - To be listed in Google's directory, you
should submit your site to the
Open Directory.
A quae from Google: "Basically, Google's
position is that we prefer no hidden links, no hidden
text, no automatic tools used for positioning, and no
cloaking. We prefer that Googlebot get the exact same
page that users see. In general, you can assume that
we're as conservative as possible. We don't like hidden
links/text in divs/layers/iframes/css, or links that are
inconspicuous or punctuation, for example. Similarly, we
don't like cloaking or sneaky redirects in any form,
whether it be user agent/ip-based, or redirects through
javascript, meta refreshes, 301/302's, or 100% frames."

Policy, and Guidelines.

Submission Times - Upon submiting to Google, it
can take up to 3-6 weeks for your site to be listed in
the index. Google will respider every page in its
database approximately once every 3-6 weeks and usually
publishes a major update to it's index during the last
week of each month.
