Quick index in search engines
You can get indexed in search engines in less than 24 hours of your site being online. And this blog was indexed by search engines in a few days. This is due to the feeds and the backlinks that I create from articles and directory submission has a huge role to play. Although the feeds are a main reason why blogs get’s indexed quicker than any websites. So, what I suggest is the entire website must have a blog. You can attempt the word press and moveable type blogs also. A blog will assist your website getting indexed faster; also the crawling rates of search engine crawlers will raise. What you have to do is make a blog, keep adding contents as frequently as possible.
What are feeds and how it would help to bring search engine crawlers to blogs and websites?
Search engine spiders, and crawlers etc, reads and understand xml easily. Feeds are generally rss and atom. The fact is, most people like to read contents and news in there feed readers. For that you have to submit your blog’s feeds in a lot of feed submission websites.
You might have heard about “my google”, “my yahoo” etc. they are your private google and yahoo pages. You could customize your page and add feeds there, so it is displayed in that page, and you could rapidly get to read news from your preferred sources.
Do you ever heard of the blog and ping technique. When someone submits your feed to the google or any other site, in there own my google page, then the google crawler will come to the blog through the feed URL and collects data from there. Now make a blog and ping it, as it is the easiest way to get the crawlers to your website. Also it is the quickest to get your site or blog indexed.
You can get feeds to aid your blogs as well. I will recommend this website for feeds http://www.feedburner.com/. Where you simply create a free account. Log in to it and copy your rss-xml or atom feeds etc and paste it in the homepage of website. First register, after that login, you should be registered to do all this properly. You will get a profile page once you login, from there you can enter your feeds URL. Following that you see your URL listed in your profile and Click on the listed URL, where you will get the control panel for your feeds. Give it more time, then gradually you will know the importance of all this.
You require links to your site:
Therefore, in comic insolence I am giving a few automated link exchanges. It is fun and irrespective of what the would-be expert say out there in waste-your-time-land, the automatic exchanges do carry you traffics.
Unstable value of overseas links
Do a search on a search engine for a product very similar to your own. Then contact the owner of the site and ask him to exchange links with you. If you have a join program attached to your product, as it will give more inspiration for the link exchange.
If the site owners agree, you have received a valuable link exchange. You are linked to the sites which came up first in the search engine for the same product. Chances are most of the countries will follow your links out of interest and that could be a bundle of targeted traffic. You have increased your search engine positioning with linking power.
This can really exciting you can exchange links with websites with top search engine. This may be a slower method and take a little more of a personal. But in the long run the touch always wins. Exchanging links like this is almost like endorse each other’s products to a degree.
Four Factors That Affect PageRank
The backlinks from the related sites as well as quality site will add significant pagerank. It helps when the website is valued for pagerank. Link from quality and good site illustrates Google that your site is significant and it should be given higher pagerank value.
When the site you have linked is banned by Google, then even your site has the possibility of banning. So, when you link to a site check always it is a proper site.
The Google analyze the content of the website and shows the relevant website as per your query and the pagerank is not important as you think.
The Linkerati effect as an alternate link building strategy
Many bloggers have suggested writing about the linkerati as way to get editorial backlinks. Rand at SEOmoz recognized the linkerati, and says that every site is linkbait and linkerati worthy. But provided you can identify the people more likely to link to you and attract them to your site. Perceptibly, you want to sketch them or give them recognition in some way, and more often than not, they will link to your article.
A synopsis of tips:
1. Forget the A- and B-bloggers.
They obtain lots of link love as it is. So go after the other linkerati. Of course, ByLinking takes care of it indirectly, though Google soon devalue links from theme templates, etc.
2. Mind the Cs and Ds.
There are lots of newer bloggers that don’t get the attention they deserve. Outline them, their blogs, and their niche.
3. Check the comments.
Who comments on your site? Can you profile them? Don’t be shy. Pick any 5 linkerati types in single niche and interview them about their blogging tips.
4. Check the trackbacks.
Profile to those who link to you this makes easy to choose the next post.
5. Go wide.
Instead of lone big linkbait per week, try for 5-6 solid smaller resource posts. Well, you’re cast your net wider for editorial links. Maki’s DoshDosh and Daniel’s Daily Blog Tips are two of the best examples. There is much linkworthy content there. I can link to 3-4 posts there, and so another several dozen bloggers, since there’s just so much good content.
For example, if you write a solid, linkable article per day and 5 d/wk, there are about 250 per year. If they’re good, each post is probably worth 3 backlinks each or more – because you’re catering to other bloggers also. That’s at least 750 backlinks for each year, from different sites. And slow and steady links are more valuable and persistent – at least to a few SE algorithms.
If you go with the core domain trust model, you will place this blog aimed at linkerati/bloggers in a subdirectory of your main site. Not another blog about blogging, but the one with your personality and extra content significance that you stand out and induce editorial links.
4 Techniques To Increase Your Sales
OWN DIRECTORY
Create your own directory on a specific industry topic, placing your own ad or banner along the top. Then invite others to add their website links via a link exchange program, listing themselves in your directory. This will result in lots of free advertising for you as your directory expands with links across the World Wide Web. Enter “link exchange software” into your favorite search engine for help with setup.
TEACH A COURSE
Write out a simple step-by-step instructional class in your area of expertise. Then break it up into smaller segments and set them up in an autoresponder as email messages with your ads included at the top and or bottom of each message. Invite website visitors to sign up through on online form or email subscription address offered through the autoresponder service. Then as people sign up, they will learn more about you and your products and services.
EZINE PUBLIZERS
Forget about small daily or weekly ezines. Try publishing one large monthly e-zine as an e-book format, preferably an Adobe .pdf file. Include a large number of articles with each issue and regularly featured areas like inspirational quotes, industry tips, favorite sites and advice from the pros. Also insert full-color graphics, multimedia components like audio file links, if you like, and ads. Then you can charge a monthly rate, with an annual discounted package purchase, and sell advertising spots.
TIP OF THE DAY
Set up your own Tip of the Day targeting your own area of expertise, relating to your own products and services. You can set it up on your website in a targeted box, via autoresponder, a blog, an RSS feed, an audio file or others means of communication. Add your own ad along with your tip for whichever product or service you want to target or maybe even your own online store for all. This will gently remind your target audience where to go to learn more.
In summary, by using internet marketing techniques customized to fit your own products and services, you can reach out and increase your website traffic and purchase opportunities. Internet marketing can mean a more affordable way to grow your business.

User Optimization is the real SEO
You may be confused by telling you that you need to ‘optimize for search engines’ when you don’t need to at all. The core aspect of search engines that we always forget is that, not only they are programmed to act like users, but they were created, and are controlled, by users.
The similarities between elements that are important to search engines and the elements that are important to users are remarkably obvious.
Let’s have a look
. Titles and the meta content
o Search engines: Uses this one to pick up on what the page is about, and rank it accordingly.
o Users: Uses to pick up on what the page is about, and to decide whether or not to use it.
. Header tags
o Search engines: Use to assess what the main body of text is about, and rank the page accordingly.
o Users: Use them to swiftly see what the main body of the text is about.
. Anchor Text
o Search engines: Use this to realize what the page that is being linked to is about, and to rank that page according to its significance to the anchor text, and the quality of the inbound links.
o Users: Used to understand what the page that is being linked to be about.
. Alt Attributes
o Search engines: Used to understand what the image is about, or what it is representing.
o Users: Uses this to understand what the image is, or what it is representing. Mostly disabled users and people who browse with images turned off.
. Page Copy
o Search engines: Use to set up which search query content is relevant to.
o Users: Use this to set up if the content is related to what they are looking for.
. Strong Tags
o Search engines: Use to pick out important key elements within the copy.
o Users: Use to scrutinize the copy and pick out the very important words.
Many people go crazy when trying to ‘SEO’ their sites, thinking ‘right, here are a few techniques to use, let’s apply them everything’. This unsurprisingly, doesn’t work.
Actual SEO is User Optimization because…
Think on the techniques you’re using to rank higher, and ask yourself would a user appreciate it? If the reply is yes, then the chances are that a search engine will too.
Here is a pair of examples
You put in 35 key phrases to your page copy, and but all in strong tags.
o Users will say: I can’t read it, as it looks terrible.
o Search engines will say: It is spam
If you use clear anchor text throughout your site that is relevant to the page that is being linked to.
o Users find it really easy to navigate.
o Search engines finds anchor text is relevant to the page content.
The jest of it is that if you’re pissing off your users with your ‘optimization’ attempt, then you’re perhaps annoying the agony out of search engines too.
First write your site, code, and your content for your users. It doesn’t issue how many people find you in Google if your content is valueless to the visitors. Make your code and content for users and you’ll see a fine correlation to your rankings too.
SEO don’t mean tricking search engines for ranks.
Search engines always work by looking for the best sites to rank.
SEO just means improving your site until it’s good enough to rank.
Building Link Popularity
The most difficult area of SEO is building link popularity. You may be thinking why? Because there are no easy ways to build link popularity. In this article I will tell you how to get links and how to find them.
First thing you must do is find a web site that you would like to trade links with. How do you find them? You can join link exchanges and you can search the search engine with keywords related to your site. Remember RELATED sites only! Let’s say your site is about cars, so you would search with keywords or let’s say your site is about games,Now that you know what to do go and search for sites RELATED to yours and ask for a link exchange.
you will get much better results that way because they know you are not some spamming robot that emails every site they come a cross. Download Google’s Toolbar to make sure that inbound links are from decent sites, with a minimum of 1 on the toolbar. The higher the PageRank the better. Also remember that your homepage is not the only part of your site that you can get links for, so try to get links to other pages on your site. This will allow robots to spider your site better and have more ways in.
