    hi all.
    we have a myspace page
    www.myspace.com/craiceannband

    all seems fine but i cannot find craiceannband in a standard google search.

    there is a festival in clare called craiceann that comes up a lt but even using "craiceannband" in search gives no joy.

    am i missing a pref in my privacy profile or something.

    thanks.

    Hi there,
    having your site appear on Google isn't always that simple unfortunately. Google needs some way of discovering your site and knowing it exists.

    It uses things called spiders which follows links from sites to sites to do this and if it discovers a links, or better again, multiple links to your site, then is will add your site to it's directory.

    Another method of getting Google to recognize your site is by actually submitting it to them here http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
    They will probably ask you to add code to the site to confirm that this site does indeed below to you. It takes at least a few days if not weeks for this to start showing results in google.

    I hope this is helpful!

    Firstly you only created the account a couple of days ago. Huge archives of information like Google and MySpace take a while to update. I looked for my band's MySpace page and was able to find it on Google so just give it time.

    Secondly you need to read up on Search Engine Optimisation. Try here on this very site or also here. Not everything applies to MySpace pages obviously but things like including plenty of inbound links to your band's page (without spamming) will definitely help.
