How to make a website searchable?
So, I have a question for all of you... how the hell do I get my website to be searchable? I've tried everything to get the damn thing to pop up, but even by name, it won't find my website! It's kinda pissing me off....

I can't find it w/out a link. You can also add it to your sig line, hint.

If you don't want to pay for it, search for 'free seo' (search engine optimization). Then research the crap out of it.
A lot of what is recommended is bunk, but there are some good free tips out there.

What (terms) are you trying to rank for? You have to answer that question before you can optimize for it.Originally Posted by spyder
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Lots of people are converting to WordPress websites for SEO purposes. There are quite a few companies out there, some local that can assist with this. I have converted a few client to WP for SEO.
If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
There are many things that affect your website ranking, this info can be found at google.. 1st off.. register your site with Google. Next, make sure your website actually contains a lot of text that contains the terms that you want to search for. Many people use images and other things that are not searchable. Also, if you do have pics make sure the file name of the pic contains searchable terms rather than a generic file name such as img123456.jpg
Do you have a link to the site you are referencing?
One of the thing I found interesting about SEO stuff if that the number of sites that link to your site has a large effect on your ranking, as the web crawler bots they use follow the links in pages to other pages.

Picture names... didn't think about that. I'm currently using WIX since I don't have the cash to pay a professional for anything... The site is comprised of the little fun things that I made for myself, and figured I would make for others. It's ARTactical LLC, and the website is www.artacticalllc.com. I only have a couple products, but when the name is put in, it doesn't even pop up, even with artacticalllc in quotes.....

I see you have a Facebook page connected to the website; don't stop there. Gmail, Pinterest, Google +, Merchantcircle, and so on will get you not only a broader exposure but will make you more visible.
