I have a site built with Jekyll Now on GitHub and I want it to appear in a google search. If I just google my GitHub username followed by 'GitHub' and 'io', it does not find my site. How do I get google to find my site in a google search?
You have to create a Google Search Console account and add your page, then typically you just drop a "marker" file in the root (Search Console generates this) so that Google can confirm you really own the page.
Google Search Console
Instructions
(Since the instructions are long and have many links to sub-steps, I'm only providing the link.)
Also, if you're going to use a registered domain name, set that up before you register the site for search.
(Edit: Technically you don't have to do this, sooner or later Google will find you... but this will give your content a much higher-quality score.)
It can take a few days before the site is indexed by search engines. Google for google index site and you will find quite a lot of information about the process and how it can be speed up.
Generally, google finds all website and index them. Sometimes, it's takes time to crawl the new website.
But, you can do this thing manually by following these steps:
Go to Google search
Add the website as your property
Then, verify your property that you're the owner of this.

I read the google help for tracking an addon (https://developers.google.com/gsuite/marketplace/use-analytics) and I am not sure, what to do on the google analytics side of the idea.
I added a stream and entered the url of the application url, which I can find in the sore entry settings of the google cloud plattform.
Then I entered the Stream ID in the configuration of my addon's store entry configuration page, where it asks for google Analytics-ID (I entered the G- ... number).
But I don't see any data in GA.
What did I get wrong in the first place? :)
Maybe I am on the wrong path, so I want to share my goal as well: I try to track three things of my google calendar add-on:
how often the add-on in the Marketplace is viewed
how often the add-on actually was installed
what the user did in the add-on, while using it.
thanks for your input and questions to lead me to the solution :)
Try to use a Universal Analytics Property, the one with ID like UA-XXXXX-Y. When you create a new property activate the advanced options and choose that property type.
I wish to find out how a user has landed on my website (built on django1.11, python 3.7)? Whether he found me through google search or is a direct visitor?
You can get the referrer off the request object.
request.META['HTTP_REFERER']
That should get the referring page if there was one. Check out the docs
I just set up my personal GitHub page, with GitHub Pages! Now I was wondering if this is automatically indexed by google.
I tried out what I found online and it seems it is. By the way if I do not provide the exact URL and I just type name and surname In Google search engine I do not find anything related to my page (I went through until the 6th page of results).
Do you have any clue how to deal with this issue?
I would like that people are able to find my page just typing my name and surname and without knowing the full URL a priori!
As mentioned in "Customizing GitHub Pages / Search engine optimization for GitHub Pages", you will have to add some seo tags, including one about author.
That author information will help Google search to point back to your site.
I am working on a system that needs to associate URLs with data based on keywords. I was hoping I could use a web service to automatically perform full-web searches based on keywords or tags, and the results would be in a machine-friendly format like JSON.
My first thought was Google, and their Google Custom Search service looks pretty good, and has proven itself in tests. It has a simple REST-like URL and returns results in JSON format. The only problem is that it has a limit of 100 queries per day. I need more like 1000. Their higher-quota pay option (Google Site Search) does not allow full-web searches, so is useless to me.
Surely others have wanted to do programmatic web searches before. Does Google offer another B2B search service that we could use? We are happy to pay per query, sign agreements, etc. I fear I am not looking in the right place on Google's site.
As I wrote this question I found Microsoft's Bing web services home page. At first blush it looks pretty good. I have a slight preference for Google, but am open to Microsoft. I would love to hear any advice about using Microsoft's APIs.
Google custom search offers a 'pay for >100 queries' option, I believe:
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
(see 'paid usage' section at the bottom)
#Sync found the right way in, and I believe I now understand the problem: Google has two control panels for custom search, and you can't get to one from the other.
I was on the panel for my Google Custom Search engine (www.google.com/cse/panel), which gives me control over low-level aspects of my search engine, and the only pay option was to convert to Google Site Search, but in so doing I would lose my full-web search power.
There is another, higher-level, control panel for all of Google's APIs (code.google.com/apis/console), of which Custom Search is a component. And from here, setting up billing to get a larger quota is clearly linked.
Sorry I am not providing proper links, as the relevant pages require login to access. While I consider this answer to be the authoritative one for my question, I am giving the green checkmark to #sync, without whose help I would not have been able to figure it out. I'd still love to see some comments on Bing's APIs, however!
We just started an advertisement with Facebook and are curious if there is a way to track who has visited our website by clicking our website link on our Facebook page? I am very pleased with all of the ways to track the performance of our ad on Facebook and want to see if people are not only 'liking' our page, but visiting our website to learn more about us. Any information would be helpful :)
This is our website if you need to look into it further:

I don't know how much you can change about your website or how it is built. However there is a way to track where the users who visited your page from. Use the http reffer field.
In php (and probably in most other languages) you can get the refer link by using
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
The refer field contains the last page visited by the user.
Simply count the number of users that are surfing from your facebook page to your website.
You can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; as mentioned by #fake, or simply use Google Analytics, which will provide you a lot of statistics for free, including referers, stats by browsers, countries...
All you have to do is create a GA account, and link your website to your account (you'll have a few javascript lines to add in your footer for it)
