When your website is "indexed" by a search engine, it means that search engine has "seen" you site, and scanned its pages.

When you type a search term into Google, and the results page appears, those results are drawn from information the search engine has gathered in the past and saved. In order to gather information in the first place, the search engine sends out automated "robots" to scan the internet in search of new pages. If the robot finds a page it hasn't come across before, it will store the text on the search engine's computers, from where it can be called up at a later date - when someone runs a search for it. Search engines such as Google have multiple centres of information all over the world, and the results you receive from the search engine may be different depending on where you are.

In simple terms, when your site is "indexed", the search engine has seen your site and stored information on it which can then appear on the results pa ge.

So, how do you get indexed?
Just make sure another site on the web, that has already been indexed, has a link back to your site. You can use a free link submission directory to get your site listed.

How do you check if your site is listed?
Simply type in the link to your site into Google, if you get a list of information then you are indexed. If you don't then get link building!
