How to make my site searchable from Google/Yahoo search engine?? ??

I have developed a personal website based on the Force Dot com Site technique. Now I want my site to become a searchable entity from a leading search engine like Google/Yahoo. Can you please guide me how to do that?? In my coding section I have used one meta-tag which help me to put a custom Keyword tag in my site. I have used :<meta name="keywords" content="Nilanka|Kundu| Nilanka Kundu|Salesforce|Salesforce Dot Com|SFDC|Salesforce Developer | >And then I’m trying to search my page from Google by using the tag string I’ve used. But it’s not the right trick. Can you please suggest me the right trick for that??     ………………………..Thanks,                                                Nilanka.

you need to set your robots.txt at the site level to allow search engines browse your site. You can read more also at google webmasters website

Hi,

 

As per your suggetion I have visited the google Webmaster page. I got an Meta tag from them. I placed that in my Sites's home page.

Could you please help me out.

My Site url is:  http://its-nil-4u-developer-edition.ap1.force.com/ I followed the following steps to make my site searchable from Google. Step:1>  I have created one google webmaster login and verified my site’s url there via meta-tags.  Step:2> Google provived me a new meta-tag (<meta name="google-site-verification" content="NKZSvEhS6WGS7VfC69sYh39SHeQMa04rUoge0xfSkYk"/> ). I have placed this meta tag in my site’s home page under <head> </head> section. Step:3> Then I hit the button named “verify my site” and Google is saying my site is verified successfully. Step:4> I have also created one more apex-page named nil_page which contains this code :  <apex:page contentType="text/plain">User-agent: * # Applies to all robotsDisallow: # Allow indexing of all</apex:page> and used this page as robot.txt for my site Step:5> From Google search engine I tried to find my page by entering my site’s title in Google. But nothing is changed.  I hope this will help you to understand my problem. Please give your suggestion. Thanks……Nilanka

it might take some time for Google to index your site

 

you have some extra xml tags on your robots.txt

 

 

User-agent: * # Applies to all robotsDisallow: # Allow indexing of all<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><CustomSite xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata"><active>true</active><authorizationRequiredPage>Unauthorized</authorizationRequiredPage><bandwidthExceededPage>BandwidthExceeded</bandwidthExceededPage><changePasswordPage>ChangePassword</changePasswordPage><fileNotFoundPage>FileNotFound</fileNotFoundPage><inMaintenancePage>InMaintenance</inMaintenancePage><indexPage>IdeasHome</indexPage><masterLabel>First</masterLabel><portal>Customer Portal</portal><requireInsecurePortalAccess>false</requireInsecurePortalAccess><robotsTxtPage>RobotsTxt</robotsTxtPage><siteAdmin>mylogin@myco.com</siteAdmin><subdomain>mydomain</subdomain></CustomSite>

I also want my site indexed in Google and other search engines.

site: http://nbcuni.force.com/commops

 

I am using webmaster tools and Google analytics to track it. It has been some time now!

 

My robots.txt is fine and bots do come and crawl onto my site but still it is not indexed yet!

 

I want to track it using specific keywords. example : NBC Commercial Guidelines
