The Easy Way to Get Your Site Listed on the Front Page of Google

Guest post by: Teresa Bohannon

Article Overview: Getting your website listed on Google's first page for your chosen keyword is not really all that difficult. You can pay someone to do it for you--if you can afford it, or depending on how little you can afford to spend, you can do it yourself within a couple of months or under one year. I know because I have several websites listed on Google's front page for my chosen keyword and I spent less than $10.00 a year to do it!

The Easy Way to Get Your Site Listed on the Front Page of Google

So how in the world do you get your website listed on Google's front page without spending a fortune to get there? I bet you think I'm going to say SEO or Search Engine Optimization, and you would be partially right and I have articles here, telling you step by step exactly how to do that yourself too. But that is not our topic today. On page SEO can only do so much for you. So now I bet you are thinking that I mean getting links from high ranking sites; but guess what that's not what I'm talking about either, because that is not something you can control yourself to any great degree. High authority sites will either link to you or they will not and you can't them do so if they choose not to do so. However, keep in mind that if they have a blog you might be able to post there with a link leading back to your site.

No. I'm talking about getting your site on Google's front page for your chosen keywords whether you have any links from authority sites or not!

Ok so now that we have established what we are not talking about, lets get started.

Step #1 Go through your site with the proverbial “fine tooth comb” and find all of the relevant keywords that would naturally occur to someone looking for a site like yours...and make a list.

Step #2 Take the words on your list and compile a series of naturally occurring phrases that someone would be likely to type in to a search engine if they were looking for a site like yours...especially if they were looking for a site that is particularly dedicated to the niche you want to serve.

Step #3 If you do not already have an established domain name with one or more of your keywords listed handily within it, check the domain name auction houses and domain aftermarket sales sites and see if you can find a (preferably .Com) domain name that contains one or more of your chosen keywords. Toys.Com just sold for over $5,000,000.00 dollars though, so don't expect to pick up any short and sweet common name bargains for a song. But that's OK you can still grab your dictionary and/or thesaurus and get creative and find some good alternatives.

If you do not already have an established domain name with your keyword listed within it, you will either have to pay for one that is already established which will be expensive, or wait several months while Google decides that your site is a legitimate informational site and not just a spam site hoping to garner AdSense clicks.

If there are not any affordable sites available that contain your keyword, then go to a registration service and purchase a new one containing your keywords. The shorter the better, of course, but unless you plan on doing radio or television advertising it really doesn't matter so much if it is a crammed together jumble of relevant words, since for this purpose people will just be clicking on the link from Google anyway. However, keep in mind that this method can take up a year for you to get indexed and work your way close or onto the front page...even for a fairly obscure, or very long-tail keyword...partially because Google will assume it is a spam site until you've proven yourself.
Old, long-established domain names...and topically relevant links leading from them really are the equivalent of Gold on the Internet. So don't despair if you only purchased your company's name and didn't add a couple of keyword domains to your shopping cart when you first established your online presence. You can always link to your new keyword enhanced domain name from your old site, and ask your suppliers—if you have any—to link to it to help speed the process up.

One other winning strategy you can try is to take your list of keywords in hand and find a topically-relevant unoptimized or obviously neglected website that some precocious child, hobbyist or failed online entrepreneur put up years ago and offer them a fair profit for it. Chances are good that they have either lost interest, or they have given up trying to eek out a living online and would be thrilled to sell their site for a fair price. It does not matter if it is buried deep in the search engines, as long as the domain name is a few years old is is worth your time and trouble to investigate the possibilities. Keep in mind, the older the site, and the shorter the domain name, the faster you can bring it up to Google's front page with some on quality on page SEO. Also, if they will not sell it to you offer them a yearly fee to either link prominently to your existing website and host a couple of orphaned pages with unique articles pointing to your existing website.

Step #4 Put up a blog or website with unique content and update it regularly! I have said it before and I will say it again and again and again! If you skip this step you might as well save your money and resign yourself to never getting anywhere close to Google's front page.... It's that's simple. Those unedited PLR articles that you see all over the Internet have been given away, passed out and recycled so many times that they are not worth the time it takes to upload them...unless you personally spend the time, or pay someone to rewrite them to the point that they totally unrecognizable!

* Do not put up all of your articles at one time. Put up one a day so your site will grow naturally.

* Have one or two articles search engine optimized for each keyword and long-tail-keyword-phrase that you want to highlight.

* Put together a free ebook with topically relevant information that is branded with links back to your website or blog and give it away to help your site to grow virally.

* Allow people to make comments on your blog to increase initial traffic flow.

Now, how do I know all of this stuff is true, because I've done it myself several times. For example, I recently took an old site that I bought in a fit of pique several years ago, that I had never done anything with and put up a blog with seven or eight unique content articles on it and within one month I was sitting squarely on Google's front page for my chosen keyword. And I'm not talking about some obscure long tail keyword, I'm talking about the gold standard...a one word dictionary keyword.

Believe me when I tell you, the magic keys to Google's front page...are basic on site SEO, an older domain name and unique content....

Page Rank Changes - Hi Kevin - there is a lot of speculation as to why so many websites lost Page Rank. A few new sites that I've been following also got Page Rank for the first time. Every time Google does a Page Rank update there are websites that get caught in the crossfire and have to work to get their rankings back up!
SEO Marketing tips for Promoting your Business on Bing - Bing is gaining popularity and within a short period of time this search engine has surpassed Yahoo and almost giving tough competition to Google. There are more users logging into Bing every single day. Some of the cool things about Bing is that it is QUICK and has a better USER INTERFACE. However, there is a significant different in the way Google and Bing rank websites. If you are planning to optimize your website for Bing then you need to consider these following tips. 1. Domain Age – Bing gives preference to your domain’s age. Google on the other also gives preference to domains which are old. 2.On-Page Optimization/Off-Page Optimization – Google gives more preference to Off-Page optimization rather than on-page optimization. Bing on the other hand gives more preference to On-Page SEO optimization rather than Off-page optimization 3.Text Density – Bing gives preference to keyword density of your content. If you are targeting a particular keyword and your keyword density for that keyword is abysmally low then you wont be able to rank too high on Bing. 4.TITLE is more important – Although Google does gives preference to keywords in TITLE, Bing entirely focuses on TITLE of any given webpage to decide whether it should be ranking at page 1 or Page 8. Therefore make sure to add your important keywords in the TITLE. Also you should abstain from artificial keyword stuffing. Several keywords are semantically considered as same. Take for example, Search engine optimization company, and SEO marketing company are semantically connected with each other. If you are ranking high for one combination, you will also rank for other combination.
www.tobuso.com and www.paperrollshop.com - Please take a look at these and tell me what I should do. I am too close to them to see it objectively at this point. The main on is the tobuso.com one. The other is just a paper roll side bar project. I have had a guy working on tobuso.com for about 2 weeks or so. I really dont understand why it doesnt have any Google Page Rank yet. I am starting to move up in the rankings for my targeted keyword but I am lacking in the google Page Rank and cannot figure out why. I guess it may just take more time. See if that is what it looks like to you.
Re: Specific Strategies To Raise PR Levels? - After re-reading through the posts in this thread it seems to me like there might be a little confusion as to what Page Rank (PR) really is. For those who don't know... PR is a number between 1 and 10 that Google assigns to a web page based on it's importance. With 10 being the highest and most important. It's mainly determined by the number and quality of inbound links to the web page but there are other factors as well. It is NOT the ranking your site has in the Google search engine or any other search engine. If you are ranked #3 on google for "home business" that does not mean you have a PR of 3. They are completely separate things. Furthermore, PR does not determine how high a site ranks in the search engines. It's possible and very common for a site with a low PR to outrank and site with a higher PR for the same keyword phrase. If you want to raise your PR then you need more backlinks. Higher PR backlinks will pass more link juice to you and help raise it much easier. On that same note, if you want to increase your search engine rankings for a particular keyword then you also need more backlinks with the keyword you are targeting as the anchor text. When it comes to that, Page Rank and Search Engine Ranking Positions are very similar but that is it. People often think that they need high PR to get good search engine rankings and it is not true. They also tend to think that just because a site has high PR then it is better than a site with lower PR, that is also not always the case. One final thing about this is that the PR you see on your Google Toolbar for a web page only updates a few times per year and is not necessarily the actual PR for that page. The actual PR is stored at Google and is updated constanty, and is not shown to the public. Only they know what it really is. I hope that clears up some common misconceptions about Google Page Rank (PR).
