Hi,

so I built website, on which I hope will start earn some money in near future.

I have some unique articles-contents, but will add more and more. But when I search in search engines my unique keywords or even my website url it doesn't appear. Why? I have this site several weeks now.

Second question would be: where it would be the best to make some commercial for my website?

Welcome to WW, Blueandgreen...

But when I search in search engines my unique keywords or even my website url it doesn't appear. Why? I have this site several weeks now.

That question probably has 100 answers! You will probably find at least 99 of those answers by reading through these forums!

Getting traffic starts with building a quality site with lots of content; make sure you have links from other sites pointing to yours; submit your site URL to DMOZ, Google, Yahoo, MSN, HotBot, AltaVista, and any other directories you can find; keep adding content; add a little more content; and to finish.... add some more content!

Not sure what you are asking with your second question, but keep building quality content and be patient. I will happen in due time.

Thanks for welcoming.

Well, I already submit url to dmoz and yahoo directory, and search engines.
I read this forums a lot before posted, don't need to worry about that. I also read that outer links to your site is the best way for search positions. Is this including also when I register in some forum and add "my url" in "my profile" on that forum?

I noticed that I am probably in google sandbox as my url doesn't show with unique search "my url", so patience and writing contents is all I have to do, I supouse.

I'd also like to ask if there is some search engine list (quality list), where I can submit url to more search engines.

Since you've already submitted your site to DMOZ and Yahoo, you know must wait. Both can take months to view and categorize your site in their directories.

Inbound links from good, quality sites helps you a lot more than links from forums, chat-rooms, blogs, etc. For example, a link to your site from the IBM website, is a lot better than a link from Joe's Happy Site.

Outbound links to good quality sites are beneficial as well. The benefit is not too evident right now, but it will be soon.

Can't really advertise a search engine list for you to submit to, but do a Google search for, "submit to search engines" and your first few pages will give you lots of tools for submitting to multiple engines.

After you do that, it's a waiting game. But while you're waiting, keep adding good content to that website, and try to get as many inbound links as possible!
