Submitting a site to Google
It is free to get your site listed on Google and, as it conducts regular updates, it can take anything from several days to several months for a new site to appear, depending on the links to a site and the structure in place.
Google provides an online submission form where the URL of a site can be submitted, or it is possible to submit a website through its sitemaps program, but it can often be better to get a site linked from an existing domain on Google, so that the Googlebot spider will find the site through its travels around the web.
Google is able to deep index complex websites, either on the first visit or after several updates, including pages within a frame. It will also index PDF documents hosted on a site.

Google can sometimes take up to 6 months to include your site ! its a joke… but i suppose having nearly 100 billion websites to go through must be hard .

Submitting your site to Google is a bad way to go.
It might help, but its not the best way forward.
There is a trick in the SEO industry that can get you listed in under 48 hours and it’s a real simple one.
You just get a link back from someone with a high page rank (PR). There are tools out there to search for sites who would possibly link back to your site, you just send an email to a number of those with a politely worded question.
A link back with a PR of 7 will almost guarentee a listing in under 48 hours.

Thats right
its helped some of my sites a lot when starting out ! and it works everytime, but some people may not want to pay for backlinks, submitting to google is the slow way but eventually you will be listed..
nice post chris

Getting Google to list your site is relatively straightforward and Google gave us an excellent service. We attained a ranking rating of 2 within 4 months and gradually progressed to a 3 rating in under 18 months.Now for some reason Google has decided to broadcast to the world that our site ‘may harm your computer’ and they did not even have the decency to tell us before posting it on the net. Even after hours and hours of checking our site we cannot find anything BAD in there. Can you contact someone at Google, NO CHANCE.

If you get your site listed as having malware on it, you just follow the instructions on the warning.
Best place to go is stopbadware.org
There is also a google group that will help you out with any problems you have.
It’s not only malware on your site that can get you listed, if you use some advertising companies that place links to malware based sites, this can cause a listing too.
But so far, Google hasn’t got one wrong.
So if they say there is something bad on your site, its a 99.99% certainty there is something there.
With the mass of Storm and MPack infections, the number of infected sites is increasing fast.

Well Chris, All I can say is at least you replied. We have already gone down that line of investigation and little help that did us. The site has been checked and double checked, we removed some dead links and a stat counter etc.but found nothing that looked harmful.We asked loads of people to type in our site, and even with anti virus turned off and still nothing that links. We never use or place advertising on our site.
Funny thing Google, if we access our site from another search engine we still have the 3 rating on Google.
It certainly would seem that Google has its secrets!

Pop over to http://groups.google.com/group/stopbadware?hl=en
(groups.google.com/group/stopbadware?hl=en)
If you ask for advice in that group, I’ll see you there. There are a bunch of volunteers as well as a couple of stopbadware people.
Google is a law unto itself..
Don’t get me started on that one
