Default Suggestions for Getting a new site recognized?

My REW site has been live for 2 weeks now and the search engines are not yet recognizing it. My URL is www.grandametz.com - when I enter the term "grandametz.com" Google does not find it. Any suggestions for quicker recognition?

Thanks,
Granda

Check out Google webmaster tools ... Some good info there.

Hi Granda,

Once you sign up for Webmaster tools you'll want to submit this sitemap to google sitemaps. Then post the confirmation code here so google will verify.
I've been told the sitemaps help to speed up indexing.

1- I submitted the sitemap to google sitemaps.

2 - Should I also verify the site?

I think REW has to insert the code? I didn't think we have access to Meta tag or HTML. Is that right???

Correct - You do not have access to the <head></head> section to add new meta tags. just post or PM me the Code they want you to place for verification.

Thank you,

Please copy the META tag listed below and paste it in my site's home page in the first <HEAD> section of the page, before the first <BODY> section.

<meta name="verify-v1" content="YzkkuppaWegfsc7GvCGsTaeUJKPGmckut5i8fmdpd K4=" />

Thank you

Aaron, I logged onto Google today and got the following message -

Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
Last attempt May 6, 2007: The verification meta tag is in the wrong location on the page. It must be within the first <HEAD> section of the page.

Hello,

I have yet to place the meta tag. I'm not in the office on weekends.

- I'll place it Monday and you can verify.

Your homepage is cached

Thank you,
