What did I learn from this process?

No matter what I do, no matter what meta tags or titles I put, my website will not show up on a search engine. This is even worse than having it show up second or something like that. I still think this is because of Google; I doubt it even updated yet.

UPDATE:

So, eventually, my website did show up on Google, but in 9th place. This is a very big mess to me non-the-less because the link google provided is old, and therefore, broken. I had to copy my index.html and paste it with a different name to adapt to Google’s outdated result.

However, there are many things which I’ve learned from this Digital Footprint Experience. First, I learned how to put metatags into my website, which makes it easier for search engines like Google to find my website! Secondly, I learned that I can submit my website to Google, as well as use WebMaster Tools to upload any information they might need to my result to be more refines (keep in mind, though, this did not help because my result is still crap). Lastly, I learned about site-maps and how they help in the search process for Google.

I am glad I discovered some of these techniques, and I am happy to say that I have even used them in my own personal website. Thanks Alex!
