Search Engine Optimization - How To Get Indexed By Search Engines

Before you can start competing with other websites for high rankings in major search engines, you need to get your site indexed by search engines first. One of the most common methods that you probably have heard about is to submit your site to search engines manually. Unfortunately, this is not the most effective method to get indexed.

Different search engines have different ways to index a website. A particular search engine may index a website faster than another search engine. But methods to get a new website indexed by major search engines are more or less the same. Let me just share with you some of the methods to get a new website listed:

1. Create a link on any of your existing indexed website. If you own other older websites which already have good rankings and your new website is related to the other websites that you own, you can place the link of your new website on your older websites. This will enable search engine spiders to stumble upon your new website when they crawl your older websites.

2. Establish a one-way link with a high-popularity website. If this is your first website, you can submit your link to SEO directories. These directories are search engines friendly and search engine spiders will again stumble upon your new site from these directories.

3. Writing articles. Write articles about what you are offering over at your new websites. Place a link back to your new website under the Author’s Resource Box. Then submit these articles to search engine friendly article directories to allow faster indexing.

These are just 3 simple ways to get your new website indexed faster by search engines. Make sure that your on-site optimization has already been done before you apply the above methods for indexing.
