I'm not positive but I think they meant they tried to google their site and couldn't find it on the search engines. I did the same for mine using just showtime and gave up after 33 pages, but if I googled showtime invisionfree it was on page 2. I suggest submitting you site to free search engines.

I just bought a new domain name on the 2nd and by the 7th it was on google and yahoo, don't forget to use Meta-Tags and good keywords.

Build backlinks from relevant sites, contact site owners offering to display their link on your site if they return the favour. If you want to not just be found in google but rank well, get the anchor text of those backlinks relevant to the keywords you want to rank for. For example my board is about Liverpool FC, so when I exchange links with someone I get them to use 'Liverpool FC Forum' or 'LFC Forum' as the anchor text. Also make sure any keywords you want to rank for appear frequently in your content.

True,
But do not use them more then 5 times in the keywords section, otherwise SE's consider this keyword stuffing.

Just so you don´t find yourself searching through hundreds of pages for your site, use Google´s site: operator to determine whether your site has been successfully added to Google´s index.

Google´s webmaster guidelines will give you several tips on increasing your visibility in Google (and other search engines too).
