Hate to burst your bubble, but, isn't this like the worst thing a webmaster could do?
You got that right. I've submitted to Yahoo and MSN and my URL shows up when I search for it in Yahoo and MSN.
What's wrong with Google?
start getting inbound links from other sites, and keep waiting..
of course, these days, you can just use Google Sitemaps and get spidered a lot faster. but you still need links before you get indexed.
but... a word of warning... a lot of links you get are a complete waste of time because although they appear on their webpage, they are not spiderable. i submitted to a large directory once, got listed within a day, but the link still doesn't give me any credit because they write it onto the page using javascript! that is basically useless to me.
As suggested, Links are what you need to concentrate on. New Content, New Pages and submitting a sitemap also help.
Take the time to validate your code, check your links, submit to other directories.
Don't rush and make wholesale changes to you index page because you have not gotten listed. Give it a chance.
But now the situation changed.My old site still has same PR.
but its takes more than month before a new site start listings.
Any idea what is causing this?
Use your time to get those links, and then save time by not submitting your site. They will usually find you well within a week.
Submitted to Google 3 weeks ago but still not listed
As others have said, get a link or two, or three... and you'll get listed eventually - then pray you don't have to play in the dreaded 'sandbox '. :)

What's a sandbox?
I don't have a backlink. So all I need to do now is to find as many online directories as possible and submit my URL to them? Do I have to write an article when submitting my backlink?
If I have 2 new sites, and both linking to each other, does this count as backlink?
Linking to yourself is a dangerous practice. It appears that Google evaluates the value of the link. If you link, just to link, then it will hurt more than help.
Research your competitors and see what they do.

In order for a new page to get listed, a backlink to it has to come from a page that is already indexed by Google.
After you've got one page indexed, you can use links from it to get other pages indexed.
It only takes 1 minute to submit to the big three so I don't think it is a waste of time!
FINALLY~~! I got my site listed with Google, but I don't see any increase in traffic. How do I check my Google search ranking?
Try typing in some key search terms you are targeting. Just being listed doesn't guarantee good rankings.
1. Build Quality Links towards your website
2. Create a XML sitemap and submit it to google
3. Directory Submissions on a regular basis
4. Dmoz Submission ( Most Important )
Try typing in some key search terms you are targeting. Just being listed doesn't guarantee good rankings.
There're some 18,000,000 searches that came up when I type in my keywords.... so, i guess my website is in the bottom 0.1%?
