7 Steps to Get Your New Site Indexed in 24 hours

7 Steps to Get Your New Site Indexed in 24 hours
1) Create 5 pages of content
Skip the “under construction” page and write several pages of real content, at
least a few paragraphs.
2) Create Internal Links to your Pages
Put the content in a template with a menu structure to make this step easier.
You can find free templates at oswd.org and other places, at least to get
started. Link to the content through the menu, and if you have a major landing
page, link to it from the content of a page or two.
3) Tag on Social Bookmarking Sites
After just a few minutes to create an account with these sites you can submit
a link to your site. This gives you an instant way for Google and other search
engines to find your site because these social bookmarking sites get visited
by the search engine bots (like the Googlebot) quite regularly. A few
bookmarking sites to recommend: Del.icio.us, BlinkList, StumbleUpon.com, and
Furl. Make sure you tag them with common words, like those you find on their
tag clouds (BlinkList has a good one, just scroll down on the page to see it).
4) Comment on popular and recent blogs (with your link)
Find 5 blogs that are fairly popular, relevant to your site, and have a recent
blog post (last day or two). Read the post and add a comment that contributes
to the discussion, including a link to your site in the URL field.
5) Create, Submit, and Ping your XML Sitemap
You can create a free XML sitemap here then upload the file to your site (just
save it as sitemap.xml). Then ping Google with your sitemap by typing in the
following URL in your browser, replacing the domain name with your own:
http://google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://www.mysite.com/sitem
ap.xml
Next, create an account with Google Webmaster Central, add your site, and
submit your XML sitemap.
6) Install Google Analytics
Add Google Analytics (free) to your site. Don’t forget to verify your site
with them to get the data collection started.
7) Run some Google Ads
Create an account with Google Adwords and start running some ads, even if its
just for the domain name, company name, or some long tail keywords. Google has
to go to your site because of their quality score, which includes “your
landing page quality”. Just spend a couple of bucks and it can help jumpstart
the indexing.
With these steps, you should see your site indexed fairly quickly. I can’t
guarantee the 24 hours, but it is possible. At the very least it will speed up
the indexing significantly (from weeks to days). Look for the “googlebot” to
visit in your site analytics. Then look for your site to show up with Google
by doing a search with the site: operator (for example, site:sphinn.com).
Enjoy!

SEO Project Management
Search engine optimization (SEO) can help your site rank higher in the search
engines, giving you more traffic and more conversions. There is no quick fix
and instant results in SEO, it takes time and a lot of work. But there is
hope! SoloSEO helps SEO to be easier, by managing keywords, content, and link
building all in one place. With SoloSEO you can use professional SEO tools to
track, manage, and optimize your site.
SEO Tools and Reports
Finding keywords is one thing, but managing them is another. Put away that
spreadsheet and go to the next level in keyword management. For your site's

content, keep track of Backlinks and PageRank for landing pages and other

important site pages. Tools for link building help you from start to finish.

Find the links, check their strength and quality, manage them from one place,

and watch them over time.


With the right tools, you can do SEO too.

Why you need SEO

You've got a website and something to sell, but where is all the traffic? Most

people online will use Google or another search engine to find what they are

looking for. If you're website isn't ranking where you hope it should, SEO can

definitely help. SEO (search engine optimization) helps your website to

improve its rankings in the search engines for relevant keywords, bringing in

more customers and conversions for your business. Without SEO, your traffic

will likely remain where it is, and your sales will too.
The Right Tools

As with any trade, you need professional tools to get the job done, and done

right. SoloSEO provides the professional tools for finding and managing

keywords, tracking and optimizing content, and link building. These SEO tools

are conveniently integrated into one simple interface for managing each of

your SEO projects.
Learning how to SEO

Along with the right SEO tools, you need to know how to actually do SEO.

SoloSEO gives you helpful and up-to-date learning resources to guide you

through link building, writing optimized content, and finding the right

keywords. With every account comes a standard SEO checklist, identifying

dozens of items to do for each project. As you get more advanced in SEO, you

can modify and create your own Checklists and apply them with all managed

projects.
Keeping Track of Progress

Your hard work in SEO will soon pay off, and as you go along SoloSEO helps you

keep track of your progress. Site statistics takes a snapshot of your site's

indexed pages, backlinks, PageRank, and Alexa ranking every week, and then

charts these stats over time to show you where you have been and where you

are. SoloSEO also offers informative reports for competitive analysis and

keyword rankings.
Low Cost

Hiring an SEO can put you out thousands and thousands of dollars. But if you

have the time and willingness to learn how to do SEO, you can literally save

yourself thousands. SoloSEO is a monthly subscription packed with professional

SEO tools and functions, allowing you to become your own SEO.

Can you SEO?

Yes you can, and here's why. In the open world we live in now, "how to SEO"

information is freely given out all throughout the Web. You still have to read

and apply the principles, but it can be done by almost anyone. With the right

SEO knowledge and SEO tools, you can do SEO for yourself or for clients.
Learn from the Pros

Yes you can, and here's why. Much has changed over the past several years in

SEO. When SEO first began a lot of "discovery" occurred in finding out what

the search engines were using to rank. While this still goes on to some

extent, most of SEO is now applying the principles learned from the discovery

years. These principles of SEO can be learned and applied if you're willing to

put in some work. SEO principles, tips, and help is readily available from

many SEOs who freely share SEO knowledge through their blog. SoloSEO has put

together an SEO learning center to help you find the best and most up-to-date

information available today.
Tools like the Pros

Just like any field, the right tools help a job to get done, done right and

done fast. But having access to the same tools that some of the large SEO

firms have in-house will just never happen. SoloSEO brings professional tools

into the hands of everyone seeking to do SEO. Find and manage your keywords,

track the ranking and links to your content, manage the link building process

from finding links to checking them, and keep track of your competition's

statistics and how they change over time. These and many other tools will help

you not only do SEO, but to do it efficiently.
Save thousands over hiring an SEO

You could hire an SEO, and pay out anywhere from a few thousand to fifty

thousand dollars. Or you could put in some of your own time and work and do it

yourself! For a low monthly fee, SoloSEO offers professional tools and SEO

project management enabling anyone to do SEO for themselves.
