There are many factors which contributes to your ranking in the Google search system, all of which you can do something about.

The main culprit is relevance, all Google is interested in is that the user gets what they want. They do this by
1. Analyzing keywords typed and matching them to the website.
2. The website's popularity or 'Page Rank', which is determined by 'Backlinks'. Popularity is traffic.

Backlinks are basically links from other sites to your site, though you want a few of those to become 'known enough' for Google. You can get backlinks by leaving traces of your website URL on forum posts, Yahoo answers or even Wiki answers for instance.

In the guide "Optimize a Website for Google", we will try and make your website rank up there in the top searches pronto.

Want to list a Website on Google? It's actually really simple to list something on Google. After you list your website, check to see if Google actually lists it.

Let's cut to the chase, head to Google.com/addurl and basically type in your website and you're done!

Now all you do is wait and see if Google lists your website. Google doesn't actually guarantee they will list it, but you can help by making back links for Google to recognise it. There are other little factors such as site popularity and relevance which also determines your website ranking on Google.

Once all is done you can head to Google Webmaster tools and add your site there also. You can look after it from there. Good luck listing your website.
