How to get your pages Indexed more quickly

Today we are going to learn how to get web pages indexed quickly, especially if you have created new pages or an entirely new website.
Getting your pages indexed in search engines is important - without being indexed, your website will be all but impossible to find.
Today we are going to cover some useful strategies for getting your website indexed fast. These include:
  • Social bookmarking & signals.
  • Submitting articles.
  • Internal linking.
  • Pinging your website.
  • Comment on authority blogs.
  • Updating content regularly.
Before we begin, here are two important points to consider:
First, you should be building links to the new page you want indexed, and not just your website homepage. It is important to build 'deep' links to all the content pages on your website, but many webmasters seem to ignore this and just build backlinks to their homepage.
For example, if you have the website www.example.com, and your new page (that you want to have indexed) is at www.example.com/new-page, then make sure you build links to that specific page.
Second, you should monitor your progress as you get new pages indexed. 
You can use Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools to keep track of your website. Both of these services are free and very easy-to-use. Google also provide answers to frequently asked questions about how Google search indexes websites.
Here are the best ways to get more pages indexed:

Social Bookmarking & Signals

One of the fastest ways to get new content indexed is to use social bookmarking and social services. Many websites fall under this category, but some you may be more familiar with are:
  • Link sharing sites like Digg.com and Reddit.com
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
An excellent way to get content indexed quickly is to submit your new website or pages to websites like Digg and Reddit. These are sites where people come together to share and discuss interesting things they have found on the Internet.
Links from these sites placed in the index quickly by search engines. This means any links from within your post that point back to your website will soon receive a visit from search engine spiders.
Twitter offers another means of getting a page or website indexed quickly. Create a Tweet to send out to your followers that contains a link to the page you want indexed. As a bonus, you could get some easy traffic too!
Use Facebook in a similar manner - update your status, and include a link to your site or page.

Submitting Articles

We have already talked about using articles to build backlinks to your website. Not only are articles useful for generating backlinks, but they are also very handy for getting new pages or websites indexed.
Because article directories are such busy sites, new content tends to be indexed by search engines very rapidly. If you include a link to your new page or website then that link will be followed by search engine spiders. And it should get indexed fairly quickly.

Internal Linking

If you want to get a new page on an existing website indexed fast then internal linking can be useful. Mention your new page with an anchor text link, and update a previously indexed page to include the link (make sure it fits naturally with the content though).
'Deep linking' to new pages on your website is not just about building external backlinks. It is also important to build links within your website, which will alert search engines to the presence of new content on your site quickly.

Ping Your Website or Blog

Pinging was originally a method for bloggers to alert search engines to new content on their blogs. However, it has evolved to the point where anyone can use it to update not just blogs, but traditional websites too.
Pinging a website is a very useful means of alerting search engines and directories to updates in your content.
There are many website pinging services available online. Some of the best include:
  • Pingoat.com
  • Pingler.com
  • Pingomatic.com
If you are confused, here is a basic guide to pinging your website or blog.
Simply head over to a ping service website - in this example, we are going to use Pingoat.com.
Add your website details to the 'Blog name', 'Blog URL', and 'XML Feed' fields (do not worry if you are not actually running a blog, you can use a normal website too. Also, if the XML Feed option confuses you just leave it blank)
You then have to select the services you want to ping. Just click where it says 'General' and the entire category will be auto-filled for you, as in the example below.
getting started with pingoat


Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit the 'Go Pingoat!" button - the Pingoat system will take care of the rest.
Search engines and other services will now be alerted to the presence of fresh content on your website or blog, and should come and crawl and index those pages.
Affilorama have a very useful blog post about why you should ping your website. That post also explains how pinging works in detail.

Comment on Authority Blogs in Your Niche

Authority blogs and blogs with an active readership and lots of new content are crawled regularly by search engines. By commenting on new posts on these blogs you can 'piggyback' off their popularity and get your own pages indexed quickly.
Traffic Travis can help you find blogs to comment on through the 'Link Finder' tool. You can search for blogs by using the 'Advanced Settings' of the too. Consult Part 4 of the newsletter series on link building with Traffic Travis for more about using this.
Another way to find blogs in your niche is by entering your main keyword in Google, along with the word 'blog'. For example, if you were looking for a blog about dog training then search for 'dog training blog'.
Try to comment on recent posts. This means many other people doing the same as you will not dilute the link back to your website; it is better to be the first to comment, rather than the last.
The best blogs to leave comments on are those that have a 'most recent comments' plugin. This shows recent comments on every page of the blog, which means your comment link will be present on more than one page (until you fall off the 'most recent comments' list, of course).
This is a very effective way of getting new pages indexed fast - just make sure that you use the page you want indexed as your website URL when commenting, and not simply the homepage of your website.

Update Your Content Regularly

Making sure you update your website regularly with fresh content is important for getting new pages indexed. If search engines get the impression that your website is going 'stale', they will be unlikely to crawl your pages regularly. On the other hand, if you keep your website fresh and updated (even updating indexed pages) then search engine spiders will keep coming back.
Part of the reason why many blogs rank well in search engines and have new posts indexed quickly is because bloggers update their sites frequently with new content. Updating traditional websites with new pages tends to take longer than creating blog posts, so it can be harder to keep content fresh.
You should not be uploading new pages to your website until they are finished either. Resist the temptation to create a new page, and then upload it in an unfinished form. If search engine spiders visit a page that is not finished, it could wind up being flagged for poor quality content.
Here is a quick recap on the methods for getting more pages indexed:
  • Social bookmarking and signals - use Twitter and Facebook, as well as websites like Digg.com, to spread the word about your new page or website.
  • Submit articles to popular article directories for easy backlinks that are followed by search engine spiders.
  • Create internal links - link from pre-existing pages on your website to new ones.
  • Ping your website whenever you create new pages or content.
  • Comment on blogs of note in your niche - look out for blogs that have a 'most recent comments' function.
  • Updating your website regularly with fresh content, this will keep search engine spiders coming back.
Wishing you every success, 'til next time,
Pari.

5 Expert Easy SEO tips for bloggers

1. Submit Your Site
-Submitting your site to Google is the first step in getting ranked. It’s quick and easy and will help Google crawl your content to find the keywords that best fit your niche. All you have to do is add your site using this link: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1.
2. Content
-You have to figure out what keywords you want to target. Once you have those figured out, you will want to start including them in your blog posts. For example, if you are going for the phrase “pretty nails designs”, you will want to include that exact phrase in about 2-4% of your article. So if your article is 500 words long, then you want to put the phrase “pretty nails designs” in 3 or 4  times(that makes 9-12 words, which is roughly the right percentage) . Google actually punishes your site if you just try and stuff keywords in to your posts simply for the sake of SEO. You have to strategically add your keywords and make them blend with the article.
3. Post Tags
- Tags are the little words or phrases you see at the bottom of individual posts. If you are using WordPress, put your keywords in the little “Tags” block on the right side of your dashboard when writing a post(hint: it’s right under the “categories” block).  I haven’t posted any articles on any platform besides WP, so I’m not sure exactly how that works, but I am sure there is a similar block somewhere on your dashboard that allows for tags. This is a simple step often overlooked by bloggers that can pay big dividends.
4. Backlinks
-Backlinks are simply links to your site from other sites. Generally you will find these on peoples’ blogrolls. When trying to get backlinks, look for highly reputable bloggers or websites in your niche. Google is smart, and it knows what sites have the largest followings and the best content. So when it crawls a reputable site and sees that they are recommending your blog, you get kudos from Google. They’re basically saying “If xyz.com thinks you are awesome, then we do to”. You can build backlinks from bloggers by simply asking for a listing on their blogroll, or for an even larger SEO boost, ask to do a guest post. Just make sure that if you write a guest post to include a link to your site.
5. Youtube
-If you were to ask me for my opinion on the single BEST SEO tactic, using Youtube would be it. This is by far the best and most under-utilized SEO rank builder out there.Youtube is actually owned by Google, so Google plays favorites with videos that are posted with your keywords. So when you do a Google search, usually there are 2 or 3 Youtube videos that pop up along with websites.
First off, your keyword or phrase needs to be included in your title. If you are going after the keyword “pretty nails designs”, then that exact phrase should be part of your title.
Second, in the description, the first thing you should type in is your website’s URL. However, you can’t just type in www.xyz.com, you have to include the “http://” as well. This will show an active link to your site in the description. If you don’t put the http:// in, then the link will not be active.
Third, your keyword should also be in the video description, after your URL. So you would write something like “How how to design pretty nails designs for beginners”.
Fourth, make sure the video has awesome content and you will start getting traffic to your site.
OK, there is your SEO crash course for the day. Even using 2 or 3 of these tips will get your website found on Google. There are about 5,665,343 other ways to use SEO, but this is a good start :)

Off-Page SEO

Perhaps you'll be a little surprised, but off-page optimization starts with the content (which is the king, as you remember). The very first step you should accomplish before starting any link building is quality content. Remember, it is much easier to get a link onto some amazingly creative or informative article rather than onto a scanty set of trivialities. Deliver the content and the qualtiy backlinks will become much more closer to you than you think.

Nevertheless, the content alone is not enough. You still need to put some efforts into your link building strategy. Here is the rough step-by-step:

  1. Know your product
    Seems stupid at first, isn't it? But surprisingly many people all over the world simply do not know what do they offer! They simply cannot explain what they sell, what product they deal with, what's its features, why do other people need this product and what differs this product from other 2567 products of that kind. They simply do not know. But you must know that! Think of your product or service. What's unique in it? How can it help others? Who are your potential customers? You see, you cannot offer your services or products to some average and faceless customers. You must clearly understand who your customers are and why do they need you product. Start with that, figure it out for yourself, then formulate it into words to explain this for other people as well.

  2. Set objectives
    Now as you know who are your target audience, you should set the objectives - what is the purpose for you in reaching that audience? Money? Fun? Word of mouth? Fame? Popularity? Why do you need those people linking to your site? Spare a few minutes (or maybe few days) onto thinking of it - that's worth it. Without that answer you won't succeed.

  3. Research
    The next vital step is research. Before diving into the link building, you should gather as much information on the market as you can. The key to the success is information. But the value of the info is inverse of its age. So investigate the market, find the fresh info on your theme, conduct some personal researches or experiments if needed, talk with specialists in your industry - that's all count. What's the point in writing an article if the story it tells to your potential buyers is old as your granny? Well, of course, there is always someone who didn't hear it yet, but some recent news will attract much more interest anyway and that mean much more inbound links too.

    You should also probe the market - what is popular, what are alternatives, how much does it cost, what are the bottle-necks, what's the ROI and so on and so further. Base your link building strategy on the current trends of the market in your niche.

  4. Build content
    As it was said above, the quality content opens the door to many inbound links to your site. At this step you should already know who are your potential visitors, who do you target, what objectives do you pursue and so on. Also you have a handful of great, freshly squeezed information. Now it is time to clothe all of this into tasty marketing texts. If you can do it with your own strengths - that's great, do it! If you cannot write persuasive selling copy yourself - hire someone who can.

    Use the on-page optimization section as a guide on content writing.

  5. Acquire links
    You can refer to the above part to learn what works in the current off-page optimization world and what not. One of the today's buzz words is link baiting. The term describes the way how the links are acquired. The technique does not intend to ask webmasters to put a link to you, instead it encourages them to do that. Just like the fisherman baits a fish to the hook, you can bait a webmaster with your website. Why would a webmaster want to link to you? Because your site has some value. Because it provides some services that others do not. Because it has unique content. Because it is funny. Because it's authoritative and trustworthy. There are plenty of possible reasons. But what common about them is: the link bait is never an easy money! You need to thought it out well. The bait needs to be well researched. It must fill some gap in the market to attract high value links.

    Don't think of acquiring links as a part-time job. Treat it as something big, something that takes all of your efforts and something that you would be proud of when it would be done. Then it will amaze other people. Then it will attract their attention. Then webmasters will be happy to put a link to you.

    Ok, let's suppose you have written a good content, but how do you promote it? How do you make others link to it? Where to start from? The best place to start is other resources at your theme - forums, personal blogs, some authority sites in your field etc. You could also research your competitors and find who links to them and why. Try to suggest better solution (read: your solution) to them. If you have a mass product - try offering it to respected bloggers for free. By the way, some free stuff always helps to get a link or two. Hope you got the idea. If you made a tool - ask others to test it for bugs, if you write an article - ask for a review etc. People are often eager to help, why not let them?

  6. Keep working
    Once again, as soon as you got some results of your link campaign (or even if you didn't get any) - do not stop. Keep working. Repeat the steps 1-5. Build content, acquire links and then build content again.

    Learn new tricks, read industry news, interview interesting persons (why not?), communicate with related sites of your field. SEO is dynamics. Every day something happens and your website is better to reflect the changes, otherwise your competitors do that.

On-Page SEO

The content is the king. Your main on-page SEO strategy is to build the content interesting to your visitors, providing info and value, correctly describing the services you offer, but not being a dull piece of text leaving the memory two seconds after you have finished reading it. At the same time, the content must serve its SEO purpose - to be a landing page for search engine queries. Surely, the process of writing a good copy is a creation, not the hack-work, but nevertheless there are few steps that you can follow walking this path of easy seo:
  1. Discover your keywords
    This is the first thing you should think of while starting to optimize your site content. It doesn't matter what industry you're working in - every industry, every sphere of human work can be described in hundreds if not thousands of different words! And your potential customers enter many of those words in the search box every day! You can't afford yourself to sit and look how this money river just flows downwards passing you by.

    Think of what you're doing. Think of what your customers want from you. Try to figure this out with simple keywords. Then use synonyms. That would be the basis of your keywords. Then use Google Keyword Tool or Search-based keyword tool to find more synonyms and related searches that other people type in the search box. Conveniently, you can see the search volume per month and the approximate competition for each keyword which also helps you much to filter out the best terms to target.

    Write your keywords down and sort them by demand (the amount of searches according to Google keyword tool) and then by relevance. Then, make a quick Google search for those keywords to reveal your competitors and analyze their websites to extract a bit more keywords of your niche. Select the most relevant and demanded keywords of the final list and proceed to the next step.

  2. Prepare the content
    Now, as you know which keywords people are searching, you need to give them what they want - that is you should prepare a landing page for each search term. Obviously, it is not enough to simply write a copy and stuff it with the keyword. Quite the contrary, you should build your copy around the chosen keyword and the theme it describes. Write naturally, don't neglect the headers and the loud speaking title with sticky words in it attracting the attention of the reader.

    Remember the important places where your keywords should appear? We thoroughly covered this matter earlier in this FAQ. Write a plain, natural-language title with the target keyword placed somewhere in the beginning of the title, write a couple of headers, name the file accordingly etc. How many keywords should each page cover? The best strategy here is to make a landing page for 2-3 keyword phrases, no more. You don't want to disperse the focus of your efforts. Each page should concentrate on several short-tail keywords and a dozen or two long-tail ones.

    Repeat the step for all of your keywords. It may take a while to write a proper content for each of your target pharses, and more importantly it may be hard to write a unique, non-duplicate content for each of the pages. Do not simply copy-paste one text to another changing then "gadgets" to "widgets" and "foo" to "bar". That's won't work. Instead, write with normal language, write for humans (I never tired of repeating this one!). You don't have to prepare all of the pages at once - this is a marathon, not a sprint.

  3. Interlink your pages
    A very important step! As you already know, the relevant links to a page with the proper anchor text are one of the most important ranking factors. Most likely, at this time you don't have many backlinks from other websites so building the internal links is crucial for you as it gives the very first boost to your search engine position.

    So, review the pages you have and make links on them to each other. I do not mean the usual navigation stuff here. I mean find some keyword on a page and enclose it into the anchor tag, pointing to the page that is closely relevant to that keyword. Here is a picture to illustrate this concept:

    Interlinking the pages with proper anchor text


    You can see that the gadgets page links to the widgets page with some general term and to some more detailed page (or a product page) with the "orange gadgets" anchor text. Interlinking your pages is extremely important, but please do not overload your pages with links! Too many links hurt your positions and make it difficult to read the page. Try using link only when it's necessary, that is: when a link helps a visitor to better understand the info, or to choose a proper product, or simply adds some other value to a page. Also, you should keep in mind that only the first link counts, so you must assure that your navigation menu links are placed at the very bottom of your HTML source, while the links with proper anchor text - somewhere near the top.

  4. Create navigation and site map
    Aside from the interlinking, your site must provide the proper navigation both for humans and for search engines. Ensure you have linked all the pages, check the whole site for broken links, create a site map that puts all pages together in one place and make it accessible with one click from any other page of your site. It is not necessary though to create an XML sitemap and submit it to Google - it won't give any preferences anyway.

  5. Keep working
    While your newly-created pages start to obtaining their positions in SERPs, you should continue working - keep writing the content, optimize or change it if needed, monitor your competitors and so on. Things usually get changed pretty fast in SEO, so don't let yourself to rest on the laures.
