hi my name is federico and recently my page appeared in the google data base, but it still haven't been indexed (cached). my question is: when is Google going to cache my page? I had added to the botton of my page a list of words and phrases (like key words) to make simple to people to find out my page. my question here is if the google crawler is goning to pay attention to this words.
thanx for listening.

Hi Federico,
You will probably be indexed in the next Google update which should happen at the end of this month. New web sites frequently pop in and out of Google's index a couple of times before they are finally cached. That's just normal!

But don't put a long list of keywords at the bottom of your pages, that's not how things work nowadays. This is how you go about: Each of your pages should have their own unique content. Make sure you have plenty of text written which naturally includes you keywords. But each page should have its own keywords. Don't keep repeating the same phrases or words on every single page.

Then each page should have a good title tag, META keywords tag and META description tag, which also include the keywords for each specific page. The most important of those tags is the title tag. And don't forget alt tags on your images!

Then make sure the pages are linked together properly with plain text links so that search engines are able to navigate through the site and slurp up pages for their indexes.

This was a basic idea on how you should create a site to make it search engine friendly. There are many more tips, important advice and rules that you should be aware of. Take some time and read through the threads here at Webmasterworld where you'll get excellent advice from true professionals. Cheers and good luck! :)
