Domain Questions
« on: June 10, 2009, 03:22:28 PM »

I was thinking about buying my own domain with hosting... and I was thinking after buying a domain name, how long does it take before it is active on the web? and how do I get it on to search engines? Any help is appreciated.

I think it depends on the host, it shouldn't take more than four hours for it to show up once everything is uploaded properly [or at least, that's what I've been told; I've only been on subdomains before]. As far as getting your site to show up in a search engine, I suggest making contact with as many other sites as possible so your site will one, be noticed on their sites, and two, start to show up even if other sites are linked from the search. I suggest joining button rotations, contests, and getting some link exchanges under your belt. Best of luck, and I'm happy to hear you're thinking of launching another site soon!

the time most registrars will tell you is 72 hrs for the doman to propogate, but I've own over 17 domains and they've all propogated in a matter of minutes to an hour or so.

To get on seach engines you can go to sites like  http://addme.com. Second step you need to take is filling out the meta tags for your site. Search engines bots will crawl your page anyways, so having metatags will create keywords so your site will show up in search engines when people search for those terms. http://www.scrubtheweb.com/abs/builder.html

good luck!  Smiley
