How to Get Listed in Google in Less Than 48 Hours
Google is one of the most relevant and most widely used search engine in the world. So it makes perfect sense to have your website listed in this major search engine.
Many people pay hundreds of dollars to online companies to make sure that their website is listed on Google. But why should you pay, when you can actually do it for free? This article will show you how.
Millions of websites are submitted daily to Google, some sites are accepted and some are not. So how can you be sure that your site is listed with them? There's no point in making a good website if you are not getting any traffic to your site. Google gives you the opportunity to get free targeted visitors who are actually looking for something specific on your website.
One of the lessons I've learned in getting your site listed is to optimize your website for Google. You can start doing this by firstly creating a meta tag.
A meta tag is a piece of text in the source code of a webpage in order to provide information to a search engine about the contents of the page.
You can create such meta tags using a free meta tag creator. Just fill in your page title, description and keywords and the program will generate a html code that you need to paste on your website's html.
Now, that your website has a meta tag, search engines will now know what your website is about, therefore making it easier for them to crawl your website and list you in their search engines.
Letting the search engine know what your website's about is just half the work. Google will also need to know what pages you have on your website.
In order to do this, you will need to have a sitemap.
A sitemap allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site. It allows webmasters to include additional information about each URL. This includes information on when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
You can create a sitemap using a free sitemap creator. Once you have created a sitemap, upload this xml file to your web server and submit it to your Google webmaster account.
Now comes the most important part that you need to do. You will need to place a link to your website on websites with a high Page Rank in Google.
Page Rank is a weighted link popularity used by Google. Not all links are treated as equals and links from high Page Rank web pages help with a website's own Page Rank. Page Rank is scored from 0 to 10 with 10 being the best. With everything else remaining equal a high Page Rank insures good performance on Google.
To search for a website's page rank, you can use a free page rank checker. Just type in their website name and a result will appear with their Page Rank status. A website with a page rank of 4 or higher will usually have a good ranking in Google. This is why you'll need to place YOUR website link on THEIR website so that Google will regard your website to be as important as these websites.
To do this, visit a website that is relevant to your niche or topic and check their page rank status. A good way to do this is to find forums with high a page rank. Register yourself as a member and contribute to the forum. Don't forget to put in a signature tag with your website link at the bottom of each posting.
Other alternatives would include posting an advertisement on Craigslist, a video on YouTube or an article on EzineArticles. All with your website link in it.
So there you go. Just follow these three simple guidelines as above and you will see your site on Google in less than 48 hours.
