Glad you solved the login problem!
Yes, there are keyword metatags and you can add them to the head section just like your noindex metatag but they are no longer much used by the major search engines. It is too easy to stuff meaningless keywords into a metatag. Now search engines have a better way of indexing sites. They choose keywords for you by looking at the words used in the page content and indexing the words on the page. That makes for a more relevant search return. So make your text content as relevant as possible by using the keywords you want to be indexed by on your page and in the alt description of image tags.
Not every site will be indexed in a search engine. Generally, you must submit your site for inclusion or an already indexed site must link to you so that a SE spider will eventually follow that link and include you. Even if you submit your site, inclusion is not a given If accepted, it can take weeks to months for a site to be included in the SE database.
If you want to be included in google make sure to submit your site URL to them.... and also remember to remove the noindex, nofollow metatag if you added it before your site was ready for the world. Otherwise you'll be turning SEs away at the door.
