User's searchin for URL instead of enterin in the address bar

[EastWind]

I have a new website, let's call it. www.abc.com. when I tell new potential customers about it. I find out that most of them can't find the site because instead of going to the address bar and entering www.abc.com, they go to the search tab on the far right of most browsers which could be bing, yahoo, google, etc and enter www.abc.com or abc.com and can't find the site. How can I use meta tags to have my page show up first whenever someone searchs for the domainname. I don't care about getting it ranked high for any other thing, just the domain name.

Thanks

How old is the site, perhaps it is not indexed in Google yet. Yahoo and Bing often take an age to index a new page. You could build a couple of links to the homepage to help get it indexed. If it's indexed it should show up when you type the whole url into the search box.

I think the same as 8020blogger. Maybe because the domain is new.

I'm not a SEO expert, but did you try tools like Google Webmasters (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/)?

My latest domain was indexed in a few days, so you could wait a little more.

You should always rank first for your domain name without having to do much. If you don't rank first for your domain name, your site is either new (which it is in your case) or penalized.

Since your site is new, give it some time and build a few links with your domain name as the anchor text. You should easily rank first for the domain name within a few weeks.
