Able to find my site?

[JUNG2]

I have my own site and I want to be able to find my site when I type my name on search. How do I do that?

Thanks

Hi Jung2,
You have to register your page with all the search engines. Each search engine has a register your website page - you just have to find them!
It can take a considerable amount of time for your page to show up. I was registered with Microsoft for nine months before I could find my page!

First you need to use keywords that someone can use to search for your website (your name for example). All the list a number of keywords in the meta tags of your website
eg
^META name="keywords" content="jung2, computers, personal profiles, students, Africa, web design"^

**replace the "^" at the begining and at the end of the meta with "<" and ">" signs

After listing all the keywords someone can use to search for your website, u need to submit it to serach engines like yahoo, google, altavista etc. Here's a nice place u can do that,

http://www.submitplus.com
http://www.searchenginewatch.com

It takes a short while (about 1-2 weeks or more) before u can search and get results for your site immediately once u submit it to the search engines since the webcrawler

Metatags are a bit overrated these days. A lot of sites don't really use them any more. If you do use metatags, here are the two that you should have in the head section of your page:
<Meta name="description" content="Short description of your site">
<Meta name="keywords" content="jung2, yadda, yadda, yadda">

You should also have Jung2 in the <Title>Jung2, site description</Title>
