Google is without doubt the most popular search engine on the Internet.

Every day, millions of people use it. Google indexes more than 5 billion pages.

Today, a site's submission to Google is free.

It is useless to submit the same web site several times, to several different Google in the world. Only one submission is enough.

It is also useless to submit several pages of the same site. One page is enough.

It is also useless to submit new content. Google takes care of everything and visits web sites regularly.

A successful submission takes between 2 to 6 weeks.

Google uses factors such as internal and external links, title, description, content to identify the topic of a web page. Google uses the Google Page Rank technology to rank sites between themselves. Pages are ranked from 0 to 10, mainly based on the number of internal and external links.

An external link on a page with a page rank of 8 is obviously better than the same link on a page rank 3. Note that page rank is not the only factor used by Google but just one among 150 others.

The webmaster's goal is to get external links on pages with a page rank equal or higher to the page linking to.
