2. The world of internet marketing is a highly competitive
place. As a beginning internet marketer there are some
basic things you should know about how search engines
spider and index your web site. Unless the search engines
find your web site and index it, there is no way the general
public will know that it is there.
3. After you have created your web site and chosen the
products or services you want to provide, you will be
ready to get your site listed with the search engines. When
developing your marketing strategy, it is important to
include a plan to get your web site spidered quickly. In
order to get your site indexed you must let the search
engine spiders know you are there in the first place.
4. You may have wondered if there are ways to lure the
spiders to your web site other than manual submission.
The good news is that many SEOs recommend the
following methods rather than submitting your pages
directly.
5. The best way to get your site spidered quickly is to link
your web site to another site that is already indexed, that
is related to your site, and that is spidered frequently.
Having your site mentioned in news releases, blogs, and so
on can get your site your web site spidered very quickly,
sometimes within days.
6. You can also use the more traditional methods including
posting in forums and providing articles for the various
article directories. If you choose this route, be careful not
to spam. Follow the posted rules, give helpful answers,
and do not go overboard on your "sig file". Private forums
are not always indexed, so make certain that the forums
where you post display recent posts and are listed in
search results.
7. No matter which method you choose to get your web site
spidered, you will need a good site map. A site map lists
and links to all pages on your site. If your site consists of
over approximately one hundred pages, consider using a
multi-page site map. Make certain that every site map
page links to all other site map pages. You should have a
link to your site map on your home page and preferably on
each of your pages. You should make sure your web site
pages are simple and free of useless clutter.
8. Getting your web site spidered quickly is the most
important thing you can do to achieve success as an
internet marketer. Using the methods suggested above
can be very helpful in getting your web site indexed.
