Search Engines For Newbies

How often do search engines scan the internet for information and update what they’ve got?
No, I meant that how often does the search engine catalogue and update what’s online. So if I search for something today - let’s say “hungry gorillas” and it turns up 10 results and 3 of those websites are then deleted today, they’ll still show up on my search in a few days - how long will it take the search engine to figure out that those 3 websites are no longer online?

I have a website that is available now online. But when I did a Google search, I couldn’t find my site. How can I get my site to be found on other search engines? I did not even see my site show up on yahoo search.

I’m looking for a search engine that brings up lots of good, relevant results (like Google), but that has the option to sort images by date. It’s impossible to sort images by date with Google, making it tough to find the newest pictures in any search, but other search engines I’ve tried (like Yahoo and Dogpile) often don’t return very many results. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My website is located in Idaho. However my site statistics show the most traffic coming from Marina Del Ray, CA, and Fairfax, VA. Why is this? I was told that the AOL search engines are in VA and Yahoo in California. Who knows? Help please.

There’s a client at the office who browses through bad sites. I use firefox. Can someone tell me how to ban all the sites containing words that i specify. I also want to prevent him from searching google or other search engines.

I’m going to publish my crime thriller novel on my web site, accessable via PayPal and password. I don’t want the search engines to list those pages on their directories. And I can’t find the script on Yahoo! Web Hosting Help. Can you help me?

How can you get your website on search engines, such as yahoo or google, so when people enter something having to do with your website they can find it when they search?
