How To Get A Top 10 Listing With Google

Big supermarket chains are successful because they attract plenty of traffic through their doors. Each person that walks in through their door is a potential customer. Your internet business is no different. Your success lies in getting traffic to your site. Each visitor is a potential customer. The search engines play a huge role in getting visitors to your site.

In order to get the traffic you require to run a successful internet business, you need search engine traffic. To get this traffic you need to be listed in the first 20 listings. The first 10 really needs to be your goal. This is the first 2 pages; Here are some thing you need to do.

Get the best keywords

First you need to do a keyword search. This will tell you what terms people are using to search your niche. Now you need to choose your keywords. This is very important. In your research you will see how many searches are done for a particular word or phrase. You need to choose those that have a good number of searches but not too much competition.

Choose long tail keywords (a key phrase of 3 - 5 words)that have a reasonable search frequency for your industry. For example "Internet Marketing": it has a very large search frequency. It also has huge competition. Your chances of getting your site into the top 10 of Google would be virtually nil.

Here's how to optimize your site

The title tag on you page is the most important tag. This is what Google uses for its listings. This tag is very important in Google's listings.

The keyword phrase that your research has shown is the best to use should appear near the start of the tag and if possible again later in the tag. It MUST be used at least once in your title tag.

Another thing you must do is have a different title tag for each page of your site.

Another thing that can help is having an XML Sitemap. This won't help your rankings but it will help Google index your site changes more quickly.

It is important to use Robots.txt. This is the first file the robot will look for each time they visit your site. Having this file will reduce 404 errors appearing in your log file.

These are just a few of the thing you can and should do to help your page rankings and thus your listing position in the search engines. There are a lot of other thing you can do but they will have to be the subject of another article.

How to Get Websites Listed by Google in Under 7 Days

The web has a lot of general information alluding to the potential of getting your website listed by Google in under a day, or thirty days, or three days and so on. None I've seen actually tell you the steps you should take to achieve this.Some sources provide you with the final steps in the process, such as getting a link from a high page rank site, with many suggesting that a PR 6 site will get you indexed in a day and a PR 5 in a week. The problem with this is that most people don't have access to a high page rank site from which to link to their so far undiscovered site. Following is a list of steps in a process designed to get new domains indexed by Google and the other major search engines in less than 7 days. Importantly, none of these steps involve the placement of links on my own sites that have significant page rank.

First, here's what not to do:-

1) Use Google's own add your url tool to suggest your site.This is harmless but it's also a waste of time - and it's slow; sometimes taking weeks to get listed. Also, unless you have links from other websites, it's not guaranteed to work.

2) Use the sitemap submission tool located in Google's webmaster tools.Google themselves suggest this harmless but virtually useless measure. Let's just move on...

3) Purchase a website promotion tool, promising to submit your site to literally hundreds or thousands of search engines.We're moving away from the totally harmless with this suggestion. OK, at the worst you'll waste your 'small fee', but there really is no point in taking an interest in the search engines outside of Google, Yahoo! and MSN, as they control 99% of the UK search market.There's also a great likelihood that you'll be spammed to death if you have to give over your contact details when registering for such a service. Any spam is a pain, but spam you are charged for the privilege of receiving is a nightmare worth avoiding.Other pitfalls are the monthly fees that often accompany an offer to resubmit your site in perpetuity. This runs the risk of being flagged as spam by the search engines and we're trying to get listed, not banned.

4) Purchase a "Get listed in Google in under 72 hours Guarenteed" package from a random company that decided you're a worthwhile victim of their spam. Google get these too...It's simply not the case any more that SEO is a dark art. So called experts may well read this with mouths agape in disgust that I'm giving away trade secrets. I see things differently. Any reputable SEO company should be able to give you a good idea of how they get their results and there should be no mystery when you question then over their practices.My job as an SEO is to rank people fast and well in Google and the last thing any of my clients needs it to be banned by Google due some third party 'black hat' SEO practices. How will you know that the practices of your chosen SEO are not black hat if they're not willing to tell you how they go about promoting your site?

How to get listed by Google in Under 3 Days.

The trick to this is quite simple and involves getting a link to your site from a high Page Rank site. Over and above the page rank issue, there are two other factors that must be considered.First is that the sites in question must have a capacity for user generated content. You have to be able to create a profile, a blog, an article or a the submission of a press release or the tagging of a favourite site fast and for free.Secondly, and of equal importance, the sites you're going to be linking from must update frequently (ideally, daily). Usually sites that meet the criterion will also, automatically meet the second criterion.

What you should do in order be listed by Google - fast.

Write what are sometimes known as elevator pitches that lay out your online project's key benefits and a break down of its target audience. 100-300 words is usually optimal for this, though a longer piece is fine, assuming that you have enough to say.Find websites that allow you to create a post, ad, article or profile - anything that allows you to generate some content and use your well tuned, accurate sales pitch as the body copy.You must ensure that you tag and post your content so as to include a link to your website with the full url. Take my SEO Consultancy CV.

It's often important to tailor your post to each site you're posting on, as the community will not welcome spam and anything that is written in a discordant style will stand out to moderators. Some online communities prefer a chatty friendly style but this will ultimately depend on your niche.

"Ok, great, where should I post it then", I hear you ask, quite reasonably.

To answer your question, turn to Google and look for free 'business classified sites'. Such sites typically have sector specific sections designed for the marketing and advertising of your business on the Internet. This is much preferable to blog or forum spamming.There are alternatives ways of doing this, many much more slick then the free classified approach, but I'm not ready to divulge all my secrets quite yet! For the classy approach, you can ask me in person or by email.This might turn into quite a hot topic and if it does I'll be sure to revisit it at a later date.There are only a handful of sites on the web that are spidered frequently enough to get you listed in less than three days. Such sites have new pages indexed within an hour of being set live.Somewhat incidentally, if you're about to be undertaking a big launch of a new site or project and are thus in a hurry, I am likely to be able to help.

Caution before catastrophe.

It is imperative that you not spam any of the sites alluded to above. Such measures will do you no favours with the community that you are potentially marketing to, as well as Google itself. I aim for genuine websites with valuable and unique content to gain fast and lasting exposure and backlinks via professionally written posts to websites that are related to the kind of marketing campaign in mind. Therefore, you should stay away from cheap, budget agencies that are likely to damage your good name and brand with spam tactics and poorly composed web copy. Please bear in mind that mishaps on the web are often very hard to undo, so the hiring of an SEO professional who puts the work in understanding your particular market is essential.

Know What Google Does To Index

Written by: Aaron Brooks

SEO and webmaster functions are familiar to those with training and experience. But if you are a self made website owner an understanding of how Google works will erase anxious moments of why is it taking so long! Once you submit pages for indexing Google and other search engines can take as much as a month to index.

When the word "bot" is used it refers to search engine software that reads every page you submit, categorizes it, and places it in a data base. Google’s bots are called "The Adsense bot, the Freshbot, and the DeepCrawl." Google according to statistics indexes over 8 million pages.

-The Adsense works on sites that have Adsense. When a new page is set up, the JavaScript in the Adsense sends a "calling" message to the bot. The bot then indexes the page in 15 minutes.

-Freshbot will crawl or examine all the popular pages on a site. A Freshbot for sites like BBC and CNN or eBAY will scan every 10 minutes. Other infrequently updated sites will get a Freshbot look every 1-14 days. The frequency depends on the popularity of the pages. Freshbot seeks all the deeper links on your pages and places them in a database in Google. When DeepCrawl takes place there already exists a ready reference.

-DeepCrawl follows the action taken by Freshbot. Once a month or so it will go over links indexed by Freshbot.

Google being user friendly has great information for webmasters at: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769 . If you follow their instructions and guidelines then your website will get indexed faster. There are instructions for design, content, quality, submission, FAQs and more.

The way to go is to add quality content to your site regularly and tease Googlebot into crawling you pages by getting quality inbound links. More important is to create a Google Sitemap for your site. This will be the channel through which you interact with Google. You can send information on new pages, changes, and important pages on your site and Google will send information on problems created by your website pages and how to clear them.

If you have pages that you do not want Google to index then you need to use a robots.txt file. Instructions on how to create a robots.txt are available on the Google site. If you have any problems or questions the Google team will solve the problems for you.

There are advantages to view your pages through the eyes of Google and any other search engine crawler. Find out as much as you can and consider using special "SEO tools" http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/ to check the pages you create. These help you fine tune your site such that it will get indexed quickly.

Read SEO forums and chats regularly and keep updated on what is happening in the SEO word.

While you are exercising patience you should occupy your time in generating inbound links and marketing plans. Keep on your toes and there are chances your site will get the ranking you seek.

How I Got My Page Indexed in Google

Hi there.!
Today I've found some old article from http://www.goarticles.com/
Yes! it's quite old but in my opinion I think that it's very useful for me or someone who have never know about this.
Frankly, I just start to blog and know nothing about Bot or Spider maybe just a bit from some kind of e-books. Sure, I know what SEO stand for but in term of technique and deep details I can say NO without any thinking.
I just come to blog world and start to blog with post post and post, I just get free articles and Products review from Amazon.com, Amazon aStore and others websites that around me to get their contents for Products to post and try to make money.
Now I have realized that without Technique and knowledge like this article I will get nothing.

Thank you so much Brady Lewis for your good article.
Sps.

How I Got My Page Indexed in Google in 2 1/2 Hours By Brady Lewis

How do you go about getting your site indexed by Google (so it shows up when someone searches your keywords)? Make your page, then sit and wait for a week or two until the Google spiders stumble across it? That's what I used to do too, but that is soooo old school.

As noted in my earlier article, I just launched I'm A Broke College Kid, and I got it indexed in Google in just a couple of hours. Now I'm going to show you how I did it.

First off, it's important to know a few things about how search engines (Google especially) work. Search engines have programs called spiders or bots that are constantly combing the web and taking note of all the different content available. They go to a site, record the text on a site to get a feel for what it's about, follow all the links, and index it for the search results. The search spiders visit "important" pages a lot more frequently than normal pages. "Important" pages are pages that are very popular, add new content often and have many links pointing to them.

These highly spidered pages are the keys to getting your site indexed quickly. Because spiders follow the links on the pages they visit, we can use these important pages to get the spiders to our site.

So here's the pages I used...Go to Squidoo and write a quick article about your subject. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but make sure it contains some links back to your site. If you don't have a Squidoo accout, get one because it's free.

Next go to clipmarks (again, free account). After you download and install the simple clipmarks software, go back to your Squidoo page you created. Clipmarks your Squidoo article and give it a title and description and everything, and you're good to go.

That alone should get you indexed in Google in just a few hours. Right now, clipmarks is getting spidered like crazy and you can use that to your benefit.

You can go further and use social bookmarking sites, other article submission sites and we forums to quickly build up your number of pages indexed in Google.

I hope you found this helpful. Now you won't have to wait around to get spidered in a week or two.
