Once your website has been built, it is not automatically indexed and found in search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing.
These search engines have billions of pages that need to be indexed and updated on a regular basis. They do so by periodically reviewing pages already in their page databases.
If the search engine discovers a new link to a _NEW_ page not already in their index, they schedule that new page to be reviewed for inclusion in their search results at their next update.
One way to get your website found and indexed by search engines is to have it linked to by another already indexed page or on-line business directory.
Often having your site linked to by another website will have your site reviewed quicker than by just submitting it directly to the search engines.
