Page 1 of 5 Is it possible to ensure that Google finds, crawls, and indexes your site? Well, no, there's no way to guarantee your site will be included in Google's index but you can make your site Google-friendly, thus improving your chances.
Google even provides the guidelines and tools. This article provides an overview of Google's Webmaster Tools and how you can use them to increase your Google-friendliness and in the process, hopefully, increase your ranking in the search results.
You can learn more about the Webmaster Tools in Google Code.
To actually take advantage of these tools you have to have an account. It's free (and I'm not getting spammed as a result of having signed up). Once you have an account you can use the webmaster tools on any website you have access to.
Get started by logging into your Google account. The first thing you have to do is tell Google which domains you care about.
Now you're all set to start using the webmaster tools.
