Quick Way To Get A Site Indexed By Google
If you’ve created a new blog or website recently, you probably want to get it listed on Google as quickly as possible. As long as your site isn’t indexed (i.e. listed) on search engines, it will be almost impossible for new users to find your website. This post outlines a quick and simple method for ensuring that every new site you create gets indexed and listed very quickly.
The Wrong Approach
First, let’s take a quick look at what not to do, in order to get your site listed. Every search engine has some option for manual site submission. There’s usually a link hidden away somewhere that reads something like “Register your site with Google/Yahoo/whatever”. This option lets you enter your website’s address and basically politely ask the search provider to come by and have a look at it.
Sometimes you’ll also see services offering to “Submit your site to 200 top search engines internationally!” or something like that.
Doing either of these things, manually submitting the site or having some software or service provider submitting it, is a complete waste of time. Manual submission can get your site indexed, but it can take weeks for it to happen and the services are really just relying on you knowing nothing at all about SEO.
Here’s What to Do Instead
Here’s how to get your site indexed super-fast, in a nutshell: Make sure that there are links on popular sites, pointing to your website.
Why is this a good thing to do? Because highly popular and active sites get crawled by Google very often. Google sends it’s “bot” to those sites every few hours or even more frequently to make sure they have all the new content listed in their search results. Now, if a link to your website appears on such a highly popular site, the Google bot will see that link, follow it and find your site. That’s usually all it takes to get your site listed.
Ok, great, but how do you do this?
Forum Signatures
Sign up to a forum with a topic relevant to your website, make a few posts and add a link to your new site in the signature. Just do yourself and everyone else a favour by only posting interesting and relevant stuff and not doing it in a spammy way.
Social Bookmarking
Sign up with Digg, delicio.us or some similar social bookmarking site and submit your URL to them. It will get listed instantly and even if the users don’t respond to your submission, the search engine bots will.
Submit Some Articles
Write an article and submit it to an article directory.Every article directory let’s you place a few links in your “resource box” at the end of the article. Submit the article to ezinearticles, articlesbase or goarticles and it’s sure to get picked up by the search engines quickly.
Following any or all of these tips, your new site will be listed on Google within a few hours. Though I also want to caution against abuse of this kind of strategy. Don’t create a spammy sales-site and submit each and every page to Digg. Don’t write a crappy, “empty” article and submit it to article directories. Don’t annoy people on the forums by posting irrelevant comments and having an obnoxious collection of links in your signature.
These things will not only hurt your reputation and prevent people from clicking your links, they will most probably also get you banned from the respective sites and with that, you’ll lose those backlinks as well.
So, just remember: Even if your main goal is to get the attention of search engines, never forget the actual humans involved in the process as well.
