what exactly does it mean when google has 'indexed' your site? and how do you know?

[psychochick]

lol, next time id just hit edit if you wanna say something else it looks like some of your posts are really close together time wise and you can alway just hit edit for five mins after the post

tips: to get your site well known then you can tell your friends about it, advertise on sites/forums that allow advertising (NOT on a forum that doesnt ) and find affliates, plugboards, opsite lists etc. its actually a lot easier than you think to get well known good luck!

<edit> when google indexes your site it means tht it could come up on searches. the easiest way to know if its on google is to make a search with your website title and if you can find it then its on google

ok, what are plugboards and opsites? i feel so clueless with all this web stuff lol

[psychochick]

plugboards are things that if you put their link theyll put yours ( i believe.. i cant remember i havent used one in ages :P ) and topsites are sites where you put your link and people click on it, and the more clicks you get, the higher up your link is on the page :P

<edit> plugboard here:
