Default Re: Help - Website not coming up on Search Engine searches
Hi Sarah, I was wondering if you were finding that your site is now turning up in search results?

It does take a while to show up in search engines, and the only way they can find you is if you submit your site to them (as mentioned above) or your site is linked to from another site that is already indexed (like VAF or our directory).

Site builders are notoriously difficult to get a good index with - it's just a sympton of the sloppy and inconsistent code. Concentrate on your textual content and optimize every little thing you DO have access to (image tags, page titles, lots of internal navigation, etc.) to help boost the results a bit.

Good luck!
