Essential Steps To Help Get Your Site Indexed In Google

Google is hands-down the most popular of all search engines and commands the majority of all searches conducted on the Internet. There are many ways to get noticed by Google and have your web pages climb the results pages. It’s important to remember, though, that your ultimate goal is profit or sales, rather than simply having a busy website. Conversions should be as important as the number of visitors you receive. That is essentially what Google attempts to promote in its algorithms, too, so providing good quality content offers double the advantage.

Linkable Content

Content is a key factor to attracting Google traffic. The more you provide and the greater the quality the better. Providing high quality content means that other sites and users will link to your pages, and this in turn not only drives traffic but each link is viewed as being a vote for the quality of your site and improves your Google ranking.

Regularly Updated Content

Regularly updated content is even better. The more often you add new content, the more often the Google spiders will revisit and re-index your pages. You are also able to target a greater number of keywords, including many long tail keywords, and generate yet more traffic as a result of this. Blogs prove popular because they not only show up well in Google results, but they also encourage interaction with visitors and offer a reason for your visitors to come back to your site in the future.

Your Link Profile

Links are absolutely essential to success in Google. The more links a page receives, the higher the quality of the linking pages, and the more relevant the anchor text, the greater you will perform in Google search engine results. By creating powerful and beneficial content you are offering site owners and your visitors the opportunity to provide a link to your page. In SMO terms this means direct traffic, and in SEO terms it means an improvement of your rankings.

Multimedia Promotion

If much of your content is non-text based media then you will need to pay even more attention to links and how to build those links. Google dedicates a lot of effort to weeding out the synthetic or non-organic links that a page receives. Reciprocal links are known to have become less effective, while links from irrelevant pages or using irrelevant linking text have also become less effective.

Keeping It Organic And Ethical

Optimizing for Google should be organic and should definitely be ethical. The algorithms are constantly changing and Google’s own image of the perfect web page is also updated regularly. By acting ethically you can help guarantee, at the very least, that your individual efforts won’t cause detriment to your overall campaign. Good content and quality inbound links look certain to be the focus of Google algorithms for some time to come, because they are the essence of what the Internet should offer (at least in Google’s eyes anyway).

See image Brand Value: All Original Creative and Content including Logo, Forum Template, Front-end, CSS, Code, Images etc. Extremely well made to render fast as well as accessible, to both humans and search engines. Search optimized throughout. Description: I actually posted this for sale almost 11 months ago but didn’t take any offers. Since then traffic has increased almost 650% and revenue has increase by almost as much, closer to 600%. Revenue comes from direct advertising ($150-$350 per mo) but primarily Google Adsense ($1500 - $1750 per mo) and Kontera Links ($700-$900 per mo). Letting go as I’m working full time and just started Business School… I just don’t have the time. However, these sites are ripe for one to build a better business direction. I started these sites as the pet industry happens to be exploding, exponentially and almost parabolically. Google “pet spending” to find a glimpse. Some articles you’ll find: “The Growing Pet Industry Is One Trend You Can Bank On” "In the past 10 years, pet spending has more than doubled to an estimated $38.4 billion for 2006." "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the pet industry is now the seventh largest retail segment in the country." “We have only begun to see the tip of the spending iceberg" “Pet Spending at All Time High” "Pet ownership is on the increase in the US, and the amount of money spent on pets is dramatically increasing too." The two sites are content and community driven websites with 350+ health related articles on pets, a pet blog that discusses current issues, and a very active message board and community. They compliment each other perfectly and as such are being sold together as a package. The templates are completely custom designed and CSS powered. They would be XHTML Strict Compliant however we’ve included a couple of things that just wouldn’t let it pass. There are almost 8000 members between the two sites. Several hundred more between the blog subscribers and the email list subscribers. At one time we had a store (its all still there however it’s been shut off) and we had about 200 customers. The store lasted only about a month and a half as our careers just didn’t allow us to provide the customer service this site deserves. We also had a drop ship company that worked out really well, (and we still do if we want them). Much more work than our careers had time for. The logos are custom. I’ve got the logo in vector version for Signs and tee shirts. The Design is custom. All software front-ends are custom and running clean - open source applications. Runs extremely well. The entire 2 sites run on a dedicated server that runs about $100 a month.. The sites run on a LAMP environment, meaning Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. All of the software is open source and requires no fees. We run PHPLIST, Zen Cart, and SMF Simple Machines Forum. The blog is Word Press. The article system is completely custom however the back end panel is ran simple from phpMyAdmin – straight to the database. I think there is enormous potential with the two sites as the brands have a very loyal following and is growing by leaps and bounds. It has been mentioned in 10 or so online and offline newspapers (that I am aware of) as well as a magazine – all of which will be provided. The site was featured as Yahoo’s Site of the Week. The site was forever (and perhaps still is) the number one pet site viewed on StumbleUpon.com. The blog also has 177 links from 56 sites according to Technorati.com and ranks 52,000. The database is huge. It’s full of fully owned content, images, customer data, subscriber data, members etc etc. The brand really sells when it comes to tee shirts and calendars. We have a drop shipper when needed that we buy tee’s at 4 dollars a shirt. Each shirt sold for $20 so there was a great margin. The two sites have a solid existence and are trenched well into all the major search engines with perhaps thousands of first place results for keywords and keyword combinations. The majority of traffic is all organic from Google, Yahoo and MSN and it will stay that way forever. The site was built solidly by SEO pros with Search Engine Spiders in mind as every part of the site is search friendly. All pages have been correctly and lightly coded. The database powers the meta tags, title tags, h1’s, h2’s, image titles and bold tags. The site has tens of thousands of dollars put into the design and functionality. petsite4sale@gmail.com
Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
How Do You Check Google Ranking? - Now that Google is so responsive to your own search history, how can you get a good idea of what your Google ranking really is for your web pages? Whenever I check my ranking for specific keywords on Google, my web pages appear on the front page, or suspiciously high. My way around this is to check Google ranking via other computer Internet links, i.e., whenever I'm working in a library I will use a library computer to check. I check Google ranking before logging into my Gmail or other Google-related accounts. Does anybody else have any other tips for discovering your Google ranking? Nowadays, I check Bing.com for my webpage ranking as it gives a much less favourable (and so, I guess, "truer") ranking for my webpages than Google does...
