How to List My Web Page
To help make your website successful you will want it to be listed in the search results when users are looking up keywords related to your site offerings. For example, if your website sells pink soccer balls, then you will want it to be listed in the Yahoo, Google and Bing results for those users who entered in "buy pink soccer ball." You can submit your website or Web page address to help search engines find your page. Once your site is submitted, the search engine may crawl your page. Crawling your page is done by a computer program that tries to assess what your website or page is about based on your content and keywords. There is no guarantee that a search engine will crawl your page, and no guarantee that a crawled page will be listed in the search results on a particular search engine.

Tips & Warnings
To find out whether your site has been indexed or listed with Google or Yahoo, go to either search engine and follow these directions:
On Google, you will enter your site name as: "site: example.com" in the search field, then press search. If your site or a page on your site has been indexed, it will display in the results.
On Yahoo!, enter in your site name as: "example.com" into the search field. If the site or a page on the site has been indexed, it will display in the results.
On Bing, enter the site name as follows: "site:www.example.com" into the search field and hit Search. If the site or page has been indexed, it will display in the results.
It may take months to index your site. According to McBuzz.com, Google will index Web pages in a matter of hours, but there is no guarantee for fast results.
