Question

How do I make my website show up in a Google search?

Community Answer

You have a few options. There are companies you can pay to help you get high spots on a search engine. You can also try the DIY route: start an advertising campaign for your site in which you tell your friends and have them tell their friends and so on. If enough people visit your site, it will trend higher on search engine returns. Another DIY option has to do with key words. If you are a software company, people are going to search "software" or "programming", so the more keywords you have in your site's description and pages, the more likely you'll come back as a hit when people search that subject. Finally, choose a unique URL/Domain. If your domain is "panda.com", it may trend more when people search "panda" than if it relates less obviously to your subject matter.
