Getting a new web site listed in Google in less than a week
I’ve been spending some time over at SEO Chat doing some research on search engine optimization. The articles have been really interesting. A couple of things that stand out in my mind is that they do NOT suggest going to a search engine and using the “Submit web site” button. Instead they suggest getting links to your web site on other prominent sites of a similar topic.
They suggested getting links from other sites using link exchanges like Link Market which I already covered in a previous post. These are two way links though. You have to link to them and in return they link back to you. While this is good it isn’t as good as getting a one way link. A one way link is where someone links to your web site and you are not required to link back to them. One way links are considered more important by some search engines.
With this in mind, the guys at SEO Chat had a great idea. They suggested getting some sites with a high Google Page Rank to link to you with a one way link. One of the ideas they had was to do a search on google for some of the keywords you want your site to be known for. Find some sites with a Page Rank (PR) of 6 or better and asking them to link to you. Some of these sites may have guest books, link exchanges, etc. This makes it pretty easy to get a link back.
Another idea they had was to actually BUY a text link ad from one of these sites. Their theory was that you only need to be listed on a PR 6+ web site for a week or so. You wouldn’t have to spend a ton of money to get a link for one week. However during that week Google WILL spider their site. Google spiders high page rank sites on at least a weekly basis and the big sites with 7+ it usually spiders daily. (Don’t quote me on this, I’m not an expert I’m just paraphrasing what I read.) They said if you can get at least one link from a PR 7 site then you’d probably be able to get you site listed in Google in less than 24 hours AND that you’d start off with a PR of 3 or 4!
This is a pretty cool way to get your site listed in Google quickly and to get started off with a decent PR. I’m going to try this out and I’ll let you know my results.
