Getting Your Site Indexed
The first thing that a webmaster wants to happen after he had his website set up is getting the site indexed in Google and increase its rankings. The official Google Webmaster Central blog gives some tips on this:
- Be an authority on the subject. If users find your site useful and of good quality, they will most likely link to your site.
- Submit your content to Google and update it on a frequent basis. Use Google webmaster tools to help you get your site crawled.
- Don’t engage in link exchange schemes. Google Webmasters Guidelines clearly address this issue under “Quality Guidelines – basic principles”.
- Avoid pure affiliations. Make sure you create some added value for your users and produce valuable content that a user can’t find anywhere else like product reviews and ratings and not just pure affiliations.
These tips are posted for Portuguese webmasters but are general principles for all. If you are looking to b a straight up SEO and webmaster, following these tips is the way to go.
