There’s no easier way to add your site to Google index than using Google Webmaster tools.

The steps are simple: You create an account (if you don’t have one), add your site and verify it.

There are 2 ways to verify the site, you can either add a meta tag with one code that the tool will provide you or you can create a .html file with the code.

Once your site is verified, you will access usuable information such as:

• If your site is indexed (surprising enough, I had one that wasn’t)
• How Google webcrawler see your site
• Adding a site map only for helping the web crawlers (more known as Google bot)
• Keywords and phrases most searched
• Manage how fast the web crawler will search for your site (I’m still trying to understand how this works and why should affect your index position)
• Add tabs on your iGoogle with all information for each site you manage
• some other stuff that might be useful

I do recommend to use Google Analytics and AdWords together with the info from the webmaster tools to get more traffic to your site.
