Getting listed quickly in search engines is something every web

site owner wants to do. Lots of site owners don’t really know

how to do this, though. Fortunately for them, there are several

ways to getting listed quickly, all of which we will go over in

this article. These ways include submitting the URL, using

keywords, using links, and using blogs to get listed quick.

 

Tip #1: Submit your URL manually to search engines

 

Search engines like Google, Altavista and Yahoo all have options

for you to manually submit your site. Before submitting,

however, it is important to make sure of the following:

 

1.         All pages on your site are complete. Search engine spiders

won’t touch incomplete sites.

2.         Your site is not full of spam and/or excessive use of

keywords. Yet again, spiders won’t touch spam sites, which means

your site will be skipped over if it contains lots of spam.

 

When you submit the site, make sure to submit it only once to

each search engine. Submitting multiple times to the same search

engine will get you no where. In fact, they might keep your site

from ever having a chance at being listed on the search engine.

 

Tip #2: Use keywords to get spiders to come to your site

 

Search engine spiders absolutely love sites with good,

well-placed and well-used keywords and key phrases. In other

newsletters, we have covered the correct use of  keywords and

key phrases, so you might already be familiar with it. If not,

we’ll briefly touch on it right now.

 

Keywords are words that are used frequently on a site that

search engines look for. The key to correct usage of keywords is

to make them fit naturally throughout a piece of content and not

look like spam. Before writing your content for your site, take

a second to decide what the content is about. Then make a list

of keywords or key phrases that seem to fit with the topic at

hand. Next, write the content and try to sprinkle in the

keywords or key phrases throughout the content in a natural,

non-distracting way. When you are done writing the content, you

should count the number of keywords or key phrases. Then divide

that by the total number of words in content. If the number you

get is between 1-3%, you’re good to go. If it’s below 1%, try to

naturally add in keywords or key phrases. If it’s above 5%, try

to take out keywords or key phrases. Aim for the perfect balance

of between 1 and 3%.

 

Tip #3: Use links

 

Having another site link to you will make spiders that visit the

first site come to your site as a result of the link. Many

owners of sites related to yours are happy to post a link to

your site on their links page. Some might require what is called

“reciprocal linking”. This basically means that if they place a

link to your site on their page, they want you to return the

favor by posting a link to their page on your site. Doing so

helps both sites better gain the attention of search engine

spiders and helps them both to get listed quickly.

 

Tip #4: Install a blog on your site

 

Blogs are extremely popular and quickly listed by search

engines. Places like Google are known to index(or list a

site/blog) far faster than they list regular web sites. Blogs

are listed by search engines like Google within days of being

created, whereas it can take weeks and months for search engines

to notice a site.

 

Installing a blog on your site is really easy. All you have to

do is install a program such as WordPress on your web site and

then use that to make blog postings. If you run a sports site,

for instance, you could try making twice a week posts on the

blog about sports news. Doing so will help your site as a whole

get noticed quicker by search engines.

 

If you apply just one of the tips above to your web site, you

will get listed quicker than expected.
