Finding web pages with Google

  • About three months ago I paid two web page makers a lot of money to make my professional web page (web.mit.edu/jmilgram/www) and my wife's professional webpage(home.attbi.com/~rhgoodale). After all this tikme, they do not show up on Google when doing a search. What is necesssary to make it work. As you know attbi has been bought by comcast. What needs to be done so people using search engines will find my wife's web page when the transition occurs. The web site name changes as dictated by Comcast. Sincerely, Jerome H. Milgram


  • Hello jmilgram, First I need to let you know that I am not Google Employee. Researchers at Google Answers are contracted to answer questions, but have no inside knowledge of the Google Search Engine, other than what is available for everyone on the internet and personal experience. Having said that, I still believe that I will be able to help you. You can request that Google add your website to the Google Database here: ://www.google.com/addurl.html Note that with the vast number of websites the Googlebot has to index and find, it may take days or weeks before it will get to your website. Another way to get listed on Google is to have another website, currently listed on Google, to link to your website. In fact, the more "good" websites (as determined by the Google algorithms) that link to your websites, the higher ranking you will have on the Google search engine. Try exchanging links with your collegues or friends who are already listed on Google. I know that there is no other website currently linking to your website because a search for: links:http://home.attbi.com/~rhgoodale/ and links:web.mit.edu/jmilgram/www/ does not turn up any results. This shows all the websites on Google that currently link to your website. Another important thing to remember is that the Google bot is not human, and because it functions using mathematical formulas, it might see your website different than what a human surfer would see. To see roughly what the Google bot sees when it visits your website, you can use this link: http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi I did not see any problems with both websites, but do suggest that you put a link to http://web.mit.edu/jmilgram/www/ at this URL: http://web.mit.edu/jmilgram/ in an index.html page. In summary, submit both websites to Google using the Add Url feature. When the website moves from attbi to comcast, you will want to submit the website again. You should note on the attbi website now that the URL will soon be at comcast. This will make it so that when people search for the attbi website, there will be a link to the comcast website in the Google cache (a snapshop of the current page). If attbi will not put up a redirection for you to the new website, this is the closest you can get to putting up a redirect. I hope this is the answer you were expecting. Please let me know if you need any clarifications, and I will do my best to further assist you as best as I can. tisme-ga
