AmbatchDotCom SEOContest - SEO Tips and Tricks - Part 2







How to get Indexed by Google quickly in 3 simple steps.


1. Submit a sitemap.
As soon as you have a site with content submit a sitemap to google. It
doesn't matter if your site is ugly and is only bare text. As soon as
there is a page to go to get a sitemap (there are several good ones
around. I like gcrawler but I've recently been using an online version
- http://www.freewebs.com/rorwebengine/ and it works quite nicely too.

2. Get one link to your site.
This is where it's useful to have a few websites already because you
can toss yourself a link easily and for free - if not, go to a place
like digitalpoint and buy yourself one - preferably related to your
site but your main interest is a high pr rank because the higher the PR
on a site, the more frequently it's crawled and the more quickly Google
will find your page.

3. Put Google Adsense on your site. I'm
not sure how much this has to do with the speed that google indexes a
site. I suspect that it does but also has something to do with your
adsense account - how long you've had it, how many sites you use
adsense on etc., but if you have an adsense account already, it doesn't
hurt.

These are the total steps I followed with my new site and it was indexed in ONE DAY.

Now you can submit to MSN and Yahoo (that takes about 5 minutes) and you're free to start working on your content.

AmbatchDotCom SEOContest - SEO Tips and Tricks - Part 1

Ok, enough fluff on the front page.

I see my position slipping to the new guy and so it's time to get down to business.

I'm going to write a series of SEO tips This will be part 1 of the series.

1. Pick your topic and then choose and buy a domain name with at least 1 or 2 keywords or a key phrase in the name. Even if you don't use Godaddy, they have a nice feature wheGodaddyng for a domain name and that is the domain suggestions. Honestly, I've never found one of their suggestions of much value other than to spark ideas for a name that works.

2 Take advantage of free hosting. I'm not talking about forever here but start your SEO long before you're finished your site. Why pay good money to host a site that has no traffic?


3. Feed the spiders! You don't need a 1000 page website to get indexed - just a landing page and some text that has something to do with your chosen topic. It doesn't have to be well written or even very useful as long as it's on topic and has a few good keywords in it. You're feeding spiders at this point, not real visitors so appearance is not your first priority - you can spruce up the place while you're waiting to get indexed.
