Subject:RE: How to promote a Web site? From:"Darren Barefoot" <darren -at- capulet -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 24 Mar 2004 09:01:39 -0800
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the former. If you don't submit your site
to Google, and no site that has already been indexed by Google links to
your site, you won't get included in their search database. How else
would Google find out about your site? As far as I know, they don't
monitor the Domain Name System (DNS) for new URLs.
Once Google has found your site, though, it will continue to re-spider
it. That's why Eric doesn't have to re-submit the site to Google...it
gets reviewed regularly by the Google spiders. DB.
