Get blog indexed by search engines, increase link popularity, PageRank, search engine visibility

Questions about why a newly created blog or website cannot be found by search engines are very common. Before your blog or website can be found, they must first be indexed by the search engines. Nowadays, nearly all blogs and websites, given time, will eventually be indexed by search engines if you are patient, but you may want to try to hurry it up. However, even after it had been indexed, it should also be ranked highly by the search engines, otherwise, even though your blog or website is in the SERP (search engine result page, it may be in the 800th page, and you will have to click on "Next" 799 times to get to see your blog or website.

The way to increase search engine visibility is to get more inbound links (links pointing to your blog or website) from other blogs or websites, especially those with high PageRank, leave relevant comments (DON'T SPAM) in blogs which has the "nofollow" attribute for comments deleted, submit your blog or website to directories, especially DMOZ (Open Directory Project) which Google uses to make its own identical Google Directory.
