no. you have to have certain things in your page

choose a few keywords that you want people to be able to find you by. use them many times in at least your home page. the closer to the top they are, the heavier they are weighted.

dont "spam" with your meta tags, or they will be ignored

Got some more information on google submission:

Using the site submission system on google adds your site to the list of sites to crawl by google. If your site has key word in the first 3 or 4 lines of text on your site (text, not code), then you have a good chance of getting listed. It's also based on how many links you have to other sites, and if they are linked to you, so on and so forth, so start start trading links people.

It helps to have an unusual name (ahem) and unique or extremely popular content. I have a friend who gives me movie reviews, and as a result, my site gets about a dozen hits a month for people looking for Ari Landry. I didn't even know who she was until I re-read the review that she was in. :lol:

One comment, late in the game, about Google tracking everything:

They can't. It is impossible.

Yes, they track how you came in and how you left, but EVERY website does that, including everyone here. As for the cookie, the cookie is only deposited when you are on Google. No other website can add information to that cookie, so once you leave Google, Google cannot track where you've been. The cookie could (and probably does) store the keywords you've searched for, but if that concerns you, just delete the cookie when you leave Google.

Google is made up of a bunch of geeks. Everything I've heard about them makes them seem like great guys that I'd love to start a company with. (How the hell can they be profitable when all they do is serve search queries? Yet they are.) They are practically the anti-Microsoft juggernaut of the Internet, and they treat their employees very, very well.

And: Intel has an embedded chip in the Pentium 4 (for your convenience) that tracks where you go, but it is (surely) turned off by default. Microsoft has software that communicates with that chip to send data to marketers, so you can have a personalized experience with your spam and pop-up ads. Of course, Microsoft assures us that we have to enable the software first. And then there is Palladium...

No, Google isn't a company that you have to worry about. They're not spyware. They do collect data to make their search results more accurate and relevant. But that's it.

To see Orwell in a company, look first to your operating system.

'Course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Google makes profit off of target advertising and their support...their 'THINK TANK' is quite popular. You pay them to solve a questions, very good idea..

But their are ways to do everything on the net now-days, and I completely agree with you there, but google does distribute microsoft IE software

.

Anyhow, nothing to worry about. Great company. Oh BTW, they have a live query viewer in their offices, so watch what you search for, someone could be watching. :blink: LOL
