How to get your new site indexed quickly

Get a Skeleton Site up Quickly

Don't create an "Under Construction" site. Ask us to get you a skeleton site up quickly with a few pages of content. You will then be able to extend this site at your leisure and even modify the design if you won't something more sophisticated. The important thing is to get your site up there.

Create Internal Links to your Pages

The Drupal CMS site we create will have links from the menu items to your pages but it helps to have more links in your content to the more important pages. This will help the search engines identify the more important pages.

Get Your Site Tagged on Social Bookmarking Sites

The search engines regularly visit social bookmarking sites so if you add your website to them, you will give the search engines an easy way to find your site. Here is a list of a few . . . and here is a site that lists many more Social Bookmarking Sites

Add your link to active blog sites

Find at least five blogs that are fairly popular, relevant to your site, and have active threads. Contribute to the blog and including a link back to your site. We discuss this topic more on this page about link building.

Create a Sitemap

A sitemap helps inform the search engines about your site. We discuss what they are and how to use them in this link about sitemaps.

Start a Google Adwords Campaign

Create an account with Google Adwords and start running some ads for a few keywords even if these are just your organisations or website name or a few unusual keywords. Google will have to visit your site to calculate their quality score. You can set a low budget to constrain costs and then stop the campaign if you wish but it should help get your site indexed quickly.

Install Google Analytics on your Site

Finally, install Google Analytics on your site. It is a free process, which you can add to your site to track your visitors. It will tell you how many visitors you have and how they found your website. It won't help the search engines find your site but it will give you an insight into your sites visitors so you can tune it. We discuss how to do this with Drupal in this link about Google Analytics
