How to be Indexed Fast in Google, Yahoo and MSN Getting indexed Search Engines like in Google, MSN, and Yahoo is not an easy task if you're not using a systematic way to get listed. Submitting your site to the search engines is not the best way to get listed and in fact is not recommended. The fastest way to get indexed is to place your site in the path of the search engine bots while they are visiting other websites. All you need to do is to have your site linked with sites that are spidered regularly, preferably daily or multiple times per day. Some of these sites listed below are spidered many times a day so if you have a link from them you are GUARANTEED to get you spidered quickly. Digg.com It is easier than most people think to get a link from Digg.com. All you have to do is to write an article and you can be listed. Digg.com is always looking for new content, and submitting the content is 100% free. Here's what you need to do 1) When launching your site, It is good to have a content based section. This section can be for announcements, news, and articles relating to your site. So you can simply submit one of your best recipes on digg.com. All you need to do is the following: a) Register for an account at digg.com b) After registering your account, submit your article. It's going to request the link to the story. This link should be the exact location of the article on your site that you have written. Choose a category that relates to your submission, and then submit your link. Within minutes your site is listed in Digg in the "Upcoming Stories". The search engines spider Digg.com regularly your link will be spidered quickly. Check your stats and look out for spider visits like Googlebot, MSNbot and Inktomi etc. I used Awstats as it shows the last visit by the search engines. Generally, I notice that whenever I have submitted my new site to Digg.com the search engines visit within 24 hours and start spidering my site. Reddit.com This website is quite similar to digg.com. It has the ability for your submitted article to be listed instantly. As soon as you submit your article to Reddit.com it automatically appears on the "new" section which is spidered constantly by the search engines bots many times per day. It's best to submit late at night when there is less competition allowing your listing to appear for a longer period of time in that section. Do the same steps as with Digg.com and just wait for the search engines bots to spider. If you submit your link to BOTH Reddit.com and Digg.com your chances of being spidered quickly has doubled. It also gives your link more weight. If the link or article being submitted is not your homepage, it is important that on that particular page you have links to all the pages that you would like the search engines to spider. Craigslist.org This free classifieds site receives millions of visitors each day, and is spidered by the search engines constantly. It offers free classified ads in many categories. The first thing you should do is register for an account. Upon registering you can then submit a free ad in the category that is best suited for your site. This link will appear on Craigslist for approximately 7 days, and will give you some traffic, but most importantly it will place your link in the path of the search engine spiders. Each search engine visits Craigslist.org regularly and your link will be followed by the search engines and indexed quickly. Web Forums Another way to get listed quickly in the search engines is to make posts in popular web forums. Search engines are always spidering popular forums multiple times per day because of the constant activity. The key is to find a web forum that is targeted to your site. You can research this by doing a search for forums on your site's topic. Upon registration there are a few things you should immediately do: 1) Create a signature with your link as part of the signature. It is important that you ensure that the anchor text being used is a keyword that you would like your site to be found under in the search engines. Anchor text is simply the text representing the link. By having a link in your signature it ensures that every post you make has a link to the site you would like spidered quickly. 2) Start replying to threads that have a lot of replies. The search engines can detect the most popular threads and will check back often for any updates to that particular thread. When the search engine spider does their update, it will see your post and the link in your signature will now be in the path of the spider, which it is programmed to follow and index. Directory Submission Another way to get your site spidered fast is to submit your site to web directories. However, directories do not add your site immediately to their index. It can take from a few days to a few weeks or possibly months. But a paid submission can guarantee you faster submission and quick spidering by the search engines. If you are going to pay for a directory submission, it is important that you pay for a directory that is trusted, known, has a solid pagerank, and is spidered often by the major search engines. Some good directories are:- 1) Yahoo.com Yahoo's directory to be the granddaddy of all web directories. A link in Yahoo Search will *not* get you a link in Yahoo Directory. In contrast, a link in Yahoo Directory can get you a link in Yahoo Search and usually very quickly. It's important to also note that Google and MSN places weight for sites listed in Yahoo's directory. Having a link in the Yahoo directory you are guaranteed to place your site in the path of all the bots. It costs $299/year 2) Dmoz.org This is a free directory that you should submit to but is never guaranteed and it can take months to get listed. I've been lucky enough to be accepted within a day or two, but on other occasions it took weeks, even months. It's still best to give it a try, which is why I'm listing it here. If you do get listed, it will be worth it. Your site will not only be spidered quickly but your site will score relevance points with the search engines. 3) Business.com For business related sites, I would recommend a submission to business.com. The cost is $199 for a year. This directory is considered highly reputable, and a link within their directory can add points to the overall value of your site due to it being a recognized and trusted directory. The main reason I would consider Business.com a solid source is due to the fact that most search engines are giving weight to links from trusted sites. 4) BCentral Another highly trusted directory source is Microsoft's BCentral. I rate this site the same as I did for business.com, since it's been around for awhile and is very reputable. The cost for a listing in BCentral is $49 year. These four directory sites are the ones highly recommend. Below you'll find some other sites you can submit to as well to help increase the chances of being spidered and indexed quickly. This also aids in the link building which we have talk about before. Uncover the Net Exact Seek V7N Directory Chiff Gimpsy Skaffe |
