How to get google to crawl my site? 1
- Thread starter heike
- Start date
It used to take google about a month to get to a new site but I can't really say now. Have you registered your site with any search engine. Also, you're going to have a tough time as part of geocites.com They don't have the best reputation and at one time the major SE's were excluding and geocite address.
There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

First get a proper domain, otherwise any work done to promote a geocities site will be wasted when you do realise that a free host is not helping give a professional image.
many directories won't even list them.

That's a big no, no.
You want people to trust you on creating a website for them, when you don't have your own set up yet? ( by the way I'm trying to see the site and nothing gets loaded.)
Let me guess your support email address is something like
heike@hotmailOrAnyOtherFreeServer.com.....
Let's suppose for a minute you get to work and show your job to different clients, make enough money and even get to appear in the first 10 hits in Google.
At some point you'll have to change to your own domain, you don't want new business going to your free host site(credibility, reputation). Plus when you change to your own domain your positioning in google will get dropped, so you'll have to start all over again.
First thing is invest a couple bucks and register a domain that gives you at least 5 email accounts.

Ok, Finally it loaded.
I have to say your work with the 3d graphics is pretty good and your resume is good too.
I'll give you this advice. Save $25 bucks, go to ( that's the current server for my website)
Get the $0 web hosting for a year, move all your work to kahdesign.com.
You don't get pop ups, ads. You get 20MB of free space which is good enough for what you have already, and you get 10 free email accounts.
I don't work for them, I don't gain anything from them if you choose them (otherwise I'd give you my affiliate info ). I just think they run a pretty good service, really cheap also.
By the way the $25 includes your own domain registration.

Another option for free hosting of a domain is As the name suggest, they will host your domain for free and allow you infinate POP3 email accounts.
Back to your question, well sort of... Your site doesn't make use of any discriptive text or meta tags on the initial page, this will become a problem, as any visitors directed to your site would be directed to a child page, bypassing your initial page.
You should also consider loosing the counter, there is something sad and lonely about having a counter visible to everyone stating that you have only had 56 visitors.

I note that web hosting "for free" will charge you $35 to host a domain you've registered yourself, or similarly inflated rates to register a domain for you. That's still fairly cheap, but certainly not free. It's also a very basic package, if you want to see your access stats it'll cost you $30 extra, if you want SSI and a cgi-bin that's another $60. Heaven help you if you fancy trying your hand at php & mySQL - it'll cost you $240 per year!
DotEasy appear to have similarly inflated rates for commonplace things. I suppose that's their business model for "free" hosting - funding the people who just want geocities-without-ads sites by charging the earth to folk who want to do something with their sites. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Personally, I think you may be better off coming up with a reasonable set of hosting requirements (CGI/Perl/SSI, Access Logs, PHP, maybe MySQL) and paying for it. It needn't cost more than the price of a meal out every month, probably rather less. Try using a service like or

It's a start, definitely not free but way better than hosting in geocities. Once he gets enough knowledge on programming, design, CSS etc., he can just look around for other options that fit his requirements. For now at least the name is secured and he lost the free email support account. Is up to Heike now to build a nice looking site, attract some business and then decide in something better.
way to go Heike...
