Some time ago i published my myportfolio site and when you visit the link you do indeed get to the site. But if you just search for it it doesn't appear anywhere. I remember also submiting it to google search engine or something some time ago but it's still not visible in search. anyone know what im doing wrong?

In your browser address bar, type SITE: yourdomain.com  or yourname.myportfolio.com

This should display the list of site pages that Google has indexed.

This is an all too familiar question asked by new site owners.  "How can I be on page 1 of Google Search Results?"  

 

The simple answer is you can't unless you buy Google Ads.  Think about it. There are a billion websites in the world each wanting to be on top of Google.  You have a lot of competition for those highly coveted page 1 slots. 

 

It will take time for your site to become well-established and indexed by all the search engines.  In the meantime, buy ads and keep adding fresh content to your website.   Use plenty of keyword- rich text in pages.   Pictures alone aren't good enough to get noticed by crawlers.
