[neiq]

:eek: I'm not sure if this is normal or not guys but my site has been listed in yahoo, google, and msn ALREADY. Not the keyword i wanted but for the name of my site. Not sitename.com ether but sitename. Has any one seen this happen so quick before ?

How did you do it? For free?
What's the site URL?

3 days is pretty good going - what did you do?

I normally write an article whenever I build a new site. If you post to some of the high ranking article directories (with a resource box and a link to your site) you can usually get listed in all the search engines within a week.

Yeah I did that as well.

If you want to get indexed almost immediately then you need Michelle Timothy's RSStoBlog3 at http://rsstoblog.com/ (rsstoblog.com) or http://www.marketerschoice.com/app/?af=307796 (RSS2Blog affiliate link) if you think I deserve a few bucks for introducing you to the best piece of indexing software going.

I'm sure Joel knows of it and, if you're in doubt or think I'm trying to get you to part with your money for some more rubbish software, do a Google search on "RSS2B" and see what everyone says about it.

This is the 'secret' of how the portal/scraper site builders get indexed so quick and earning $5 per site per day within a couple of days.

Forget about pot luck, add URL links and waiting, get earning adsense as soon as you can.

You seem to have been very lucky or you don't tell us all of your merrits behind what you 'wonder about' :)

I have a rather new site http://www.DomainRegistrationHosting.net that quickly got a Google pagerank (PR) 4, I guess after I wrote and published a free article.
But how can it be that I don't get ANY traffic from search engines :confused:
Now I ask neiq or others for expertice and help, please!

Thanks in advance.

It comes down to a combination of your chosen keywords, how many links you have back to your site, the quality of the sites that your links are coming from, how well you have optimized your site for your chosen keywords + a few other things.

Look at the keywords that you are targeting and type the keyword phrases into Google, Yahoo & MSN search engines. Take a look at the first 2 or 3 websites that are on the first page of search engine results. What is the page rank of these websites? How many backlinks do they have? How many occurrances of the targeted keywords are there? Once you have all this information you more or less know exactly what you have to do to get there.

If there is a huge number of competing websites and/or the websites on the first page have thousands of backlinks it may be worth optimising for a less competitive keyphrase. I wrote a short article about choosing keywords which goes through an example of deciding which keywords to choose (http://www.homebiz-direct.com/choosing-keywords.html)

I had exactly the same problem when I first started promoting my homebiz website. I had been targeting really competitive keywords. In the end I used wordtracker to optimise for a less competitive phrase and got to number 1 on Yahoo & MSN for this phrase. I'm trying to climb to the top for the same phrase in Google. For some reason it takes me much longer to get high up in the Google results.

Hope that helps a bit :)

Ya, it happened to me too. But after a few weeks, google dropeed me to #600 and above. Not sure why.

Thank you Suzanne,
Yes, I have been wondering about similar things, but after I wrote the first post I have been thinking about if my webhost (Newwebsite.com) has too slow servers.
Do anyone of you have a way to check the performance of servers, or do you have any experience similar to mine concerning the servers at your webhost.
The fine thing (I thought) was, that New Website alows me to host 200 websites in one account for one reasonable price so it seemed to be a fine deal for me. - Just for smaller websites. I host my bigger websites at other hosts.
Any other ideas of what is the problem ?

Best wishes

Hi Soren,

Go to this page:

and enter your url. They'll do a free report which includes load time and various other useful pieces of information about your website.

I just did it for my one of my own sites and the result was quite scary - seems that I have a few things that could do with fixing :(

Cheers,

THANK YOU! Suzanne,
I keep forgetting to validate my HTML and verify links etc. I even forgot to set my background color for a new site to white, so in Netscape my page had a gray default background. YIKES! Time to pay attention.

Sorry...that has nothing to do with this post. I just saw her on Leno and (in addition to lacking a shred of musical talent or the ability to sing a lick) she just seems very, very short.

Anyway...getting listed in 3 days is not that unusual. It usually only takes a single inbound link from a reputable site for the search engines to find and add you quickly.

The "appearing for awhile and going away for a few months" thing: That's the much-talked-about Google Sandbox effect. It's one of their anti-web-spam measures...and pretty much universally hated.

And...this isn't intended as a criticism...but an observation: Web hosting sites are a dime a dozen. There are way too many out there already. It's highly unlikely that you can even FIND a keyword phrase on that topic to optimize for that will generate any traffic.

Why?? Because, if you look at backlinks...Google ranks FortuneCity.com as #1 for "web hosting". Any idea how many backlinks it recognizes? Try 80,500. That's EIGHTY THOUSAND. And considering the way Google doesn't even COUNT most of a site's inbound links...they probably have way, way over a hundred thousand links...maybe two hundred thousand...actually pointing to them.

No one can compete with this. You could hire an army of link getters and have them work all day, every day for two years, and you still wouldn't get there.

So...not to sound a death knell...but your chance of success with a site of that topic is very low.

best,

How long does it typically take for Google to index once they've found an inbound link (high ranking article site) AND you've submitted a Google sitemap? Google crawled my article yesterday and I submitted the sitemap today but the site is SITLL not indexed. I'm getting so frustrated!

I thought it would be an automatic thing once they crawled your site but obviously not. Any ideas as to why they're not indexing me?
