SEO - How To Get Your Site Indexed By Google In 3 Days Or Less

Getting your site indexed by Google must be one of the easiest taskes to
learn when doing SEO. It is absolutely essential to have your site indexed
as without your site appearing in Google's searches you may as well not have
a website.

There are a number of ways to get a website indexed by Google, some are
Excellent and some are terrible. I will start with the bad ones first.

1) Go to Google's Add URL page and fill in the form.

This technique does work. However, it can take up to 6 weeks for your
website to be indexed by Google. This technique is not recommended, I would
even go so far to say that you should NEVER use the Add URL form.

2) Use a Variety of Automation Software to submit your site to hundreds of
search engines.

This technique does not work very well for a number of reasons.

The main reason is that some software resubmits to websites over and over
again. This can get your website banned before you even start. Avoid using
Auto Submission software at all costs.

3) The Only Way to Submit to Search Engines is to get backlinks to your
site!

This is certainly the best way to get your site indexed by Google and the
fastest too. All you have to do is get a website with a Page Rank (PR) of 5
or more to link to your site and your website will appear in the search
results in 3 days or less.
Also, there is no chance of your site being banned and you won't have to
wait weeks and weeks for your site to appear in the search results.

By getting a single backlink to your site, all of the major search engines
will be able to find your website. These include Google, Yahoo, MSN & Ask
Jeeves.

Seo - Get Your Website On The First Page In One Week

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is something of a black art, many people
know about it but many people don't know exactly how to do it.

Performing SEO quickly and doing it well enough so that a site appears on
the first page of the search results are very important when it comes to a
sites success.

The most important aspect and the easiest way of getting a site up the
rankings very quickly is by having keywords in the URL.

Should you register a new domain, try and get one with the keywords
included.

I noticed a great SEO domain was up for grabs, so I registered it, built the
site and within 4 days it was on the first page in position 6 in Google.

The Second most important aspect in quick SEO is keeping your keywords in
your sub pages. If you had a site that sold wheelchairs you should have the
word "Wheelchairs" in the name of your sub pages.

This will help your site rank a lot faster.

The Third most important aspect is having your home page content displaying
your keyword phrases. I would suggest having your keyword phrases repeated
on your home page at least ten times thoughout your copy.

The next important aspect is building links with your keywords in the anchor
text. Have about three variations here. I once had a client and actually did
not do ANY changes to his site.
All I did was build hundreds of links from articles with his keywords in his
anchor text. Within a matter of weeks he was on the first page of Google for
a number of keywords.

Lastly, the age of your domain counts for a lot. If you have an aged domain
that is over 2 years old you stand a chance of getting onto the first page
of the search results within a week if you work hard at it and build links
with your keywords in the anchor text.

Benefits Of SEO For Ecommerce

The purpose of any business website is to promote a product or service
online. The purpose of an ecommerce website is to take it one step further
and to allow your visitors to purchase your products or services directly
from your website. The ecommerce website has many great advantages over the
non-ecommerce website in that it allows for the generation of revenue with
little-or-no time spent in selling past the cost to have the website
designed and maintained, and it does not require the visitor to call you
during business hours thus helping secure the sale to an impulse buyer. If
your website provides all the information that the buyer would want, you can
save significant money in sales time spent in that the visitor can find all
the information they need to decide to buy from you without taking up your
time or that of one of your sales staff. But ecommerce sites have a serious
drawback as well, very few of them can be properly indexed by search engine
spiders and thus will fail to rank highly.

A non-ecommerce website may have the disadvantage on not being able to take
the visitor's money the second they want to spend it, however if it can be
found on the first page of the search engines while your beautifully
designed ecommerce site sits on page eight, the advantage is theirs. The
vast majority of visitors will never get to see your site, let alone buy
from you, whereas a non-ecommerce site may lose sales because they don't
sell online but at least they're able to deliver their message to an
audience to begin with. So what can be done? The key is in the shopping cart
you select.

The biggest problem with many SEO-friendly ecommerce solutions is that they
are created after the initial product. Shopping cart systems such as Miva
Merchant and OS Commerce are not designed with the primary goal of creating
pages that will be well-received by the search engine spiders. Most shopping
cart systems out there today are not in-and-of-themselves even spiderable
and require 3rd party add-ons to facilitate even the lowest form of
SEO-friendliness. The money you may have saved in choosing an inexpensive
shopping cart may very well end up costing you your business in the long
run, especially if you are using your shopping cart as the entire site.

There are essentially two solutions to this problem. The first is to create
a front-end site separate from the shopping cart.
What this will effectively do is create a number of pages that can be easily
spidered. The drawback to this course of action is that your website will
forever be limited to the size of the front-end site. The second option is
to choose a search engine friendly shopping cart system.

Finding an SEO-friendly shopping cart system is far easier said than done.
There are many factors that have to be taken into account including the
spiderability of the pages themselves, the customization capacity of the
individual pages, the ease of adding products and changing the pages down
the road, etc.
