Blogs, SEO and Google

Getting listed in Google fast was very simple and super easy. In fact all you have to do is read this blog from the beginning and you can see the very simple steps that I took to get my last site, ezpondideas.com listed in google in less than a day. It was so fast in fact that it could have been listed in hours of submitting my xml site map to Google but I did not do an hourly check to see when it was listed so all I can say is that it was in less than 17 hours. Perhaps with my next site I will make an effort to get an hourly check done.

Okay, so bla bla bla... you're thinking, Chrisi, just spill it. Tell us how to get listed in less than 24 hours.

Well, I don't wanna just spill it, there's more for you to learn. Ha! Let me just say that if you can get your site listed in less than a month you're doing better than most. Although many sites can remain unknown for months due to a lack of understanding how the search engines find them.

So, to get listed within a week, here's a reminder of how to get it done...

EzineArticles.com is a wonderful article directory. And if you can get them to post your article on their front page, you're sure to get your link that you place in your authors box noticed. This is how I was able to get my www.reddingseo.com site listed in 6 days. At this time I didn't have this blog created so that is the route I took to get noticed quickly.

Right now my site has a page 1 listing for the search term, Redding SEO. I'm not working too hard on getting it listed on page 1 for Redding search engine optimization at this point, but over time it will happen naturally as my site has quality content and I'm slowly adding backlinks to this site.

Now then... if you are not up to writing an article yourself, hire someone from elance.com or scriptlance.com to write one for you. Don't hire someone "cheap". You want a quality article if you're submitting to ezinearticles.com. I've established myself as an expert author so every article I write gets posted on the main page. It seems easy to get the expert status, but in reality I really don't know how easy it is. I write quality content so since I never write crap, I can't say if you write a junky article that you won't be considered an expert, but I can say that if you write a quality article you "should" obtain the expert status.

Okay, so either write the article yourself, or pay to have it written for you. Ghost writers are a easy to get online from the outsourcing sites. A quality article will cost you about $12.00 give or take a few bucks.

Ezpondideas.com was even easier for me to get noticed by Google than Reddingseo.com. Why? Well, I'll tell you that I did not have to write an article and submit it to ezinearticles.com. Nope, that was not necessary. And in fact I have yet to do so. I didn't submit any articles to anywhere until "after" Google listed it.

So, how did I do it?

Really? Hm...

I will be back again later and tell you... maybe. ;)

Until then,

Lightning Fast Google Slurp

Okay, so, I just got around to checking to see if my new site ezpondideas.com gained any nibbles from Google and low and behold yep, Google has listed it. In fact the site link in Google has the following information:

ezpondideas.com/ - 16 hours ago

That is VERY fast. The reason I can now get any site listed so fast is due to the following:

1. The sites are constructed using a clear model that Googles spider bots can slurp.
2. I create an xml map, submit and get it verified by Google.
3. I announce it in my blog here. This blog is very active and Google sends it's little spider bot over everyday, probably several times a day to check it out.

Those three things are the foundation of SEO, (search engine optimization)

If you are seeking to build your own SEO, take a peek at my main site:
Redding Search Engine Optimization. Email me any questions you might have. I don't have time to answer questions from people who are not seriously interested in my services so please only email if you are thinking of hiring someone to build your SEO.

Until next time,

Pond Ideas

Introducing a new site born yesterday... I haven't had time to introduce it yet, but today I'm taking a few minutes to get this intro done. I've not informed Google by way of the xml sitemap just yet. It took a while for me to get the site all done. Actually it only takes me about a day to get a site created and up and running.



Most of the time is spent adding the articles. This takes quite some time. So, for all you pond lovers out there, or perhaps those who may want to get started, I invite you to take a look at the new addition to our SEO research at http://ezpondideas.com/



I'll be installing the xml map soon. Wait... I'm going to do that right now... ok, it's done and now I'm going to enter it into Google. Whew! Long day... but it's over and things are all set and ready to go.

Until next time,

Frustrated With My PC

One of the things you need to do when it comes to building your SEO is work on your PC. It's a great tool and it is a must for Internet work and research. What I'm experiencing now is the down side of computers.

Things take a very looooooong time to work and I spend a great deal of my research and work time on my PC just sitting and waiting for windows to open, close, and for my programs to work right.

I've placed several different spyware, adware and virus tools on my computer........ and STILL my PC was working like a newly thawed out snail. I mean COME ON !

Now I've learned that this slowness I'm experiencing has to do with trying to work with more than one TYPE of anti-this that and the other thing program.

So, the answer to slowness on your PC is not always something you can solve by using programs to remove the crap your computer has accumulated.

If you find your PC is slow, take it in for a tune up. Yep, take it to some place locally that can fine tune it to it's original working condition. My PC guy said that I need to have just ONE virus protection program. So, he's going to fix things for me and help me decide on what to use and how to keep my PC in good working order.

Now this may not have been all about search engine optimization, but if your computer is not working in optimum order, your time working online with your PC is going to be wasted.

Get a tune up today. And have a cup o joe or tea or whatever it takes to calm your nerves.

Till next time... hopefully when things are running better,

Googles New Algorithm

Google's new algorithm includes daily updates. In the past Google used to update their results every 3 or 4 months. It was called the Google dance. Now it happens very quickly. If you've been reading my blog you can see how the stats change on a daily basis.

Most of the results do not change. There are positions that are pretty stable. However, everyday people are submitting new content to search engines, article directories and other media sites. Google analyses all of this using their algorithmic processes. There are a full 200 componants that make up these algorithms. You'll probably find a lot of information online on how to best apply SEO to your sites, but there is a very simple way to consider how you put your web site content together.

First, include quality origional content. Think first in terms of your reaaders, think next in terms of a robot reading your content. If you keep the readers experience as positive as you can, you are going to be pleasing all search engine rules as this is the most important one.

More soon...

First Page in Google

Okay, it's been a week now and my new site is now number 10 on the first page of search results for the keyword search term, reverse mortgage pros cons. I've postponed playing any Adsense ads on it until it's settled closer to the top. I have written two articles and submitted them to an article directory. I've also got plans on adding new articles each week. This site should reach the top of the page within a month or so. Maybe sooner.

Regarding my actual business site, Redding SEO or Redding Search Engine Optimization, I've just entered it into Google Maps so it's available there. It should only take a day to see it in the search for Redding Search Engine Optimization Services.

Here's the Google search result stats for some keyword search terms:

Redding SEO - #1
Redding SEO Blog - #1
Redding SEO RSS - #1
Redding SEO services - #1
Redding search engine optimization - #13
Redding search engine optimization services - #13

My goal is to have the last two search terms number one as well. However, that will take a little time. It is hard to estimate the time because there are a great deal of factors involved, but I would expect to see it within the top 5 results within the next 2 - 4 months.

Till next time,

Main Page Search Results

Everyday I am seeing changes in Google's search results. It takes patience and time to get your site on the main page search results. Today my main site is around 16. Google still needs proof that it is worthy of planting it on the first page. If you were to scan the first page results for the search term, Redding search engine optimization you will see that my site is the most relevant, yet it's not on that page yet.

Why?

Because Google sends it's Googlebot out to spider sites, not people. Millions of pages are added everyday to the search results. Manually trying to take on this work is out of the questions. This is why it is so important for "us" the people who own the websites, to help the search engines out by creating our web sites in a way that both benefits the user and the search engine robots that spider our site.

My new site, reversemortgageproscons.com is listed at number 11 today. I will be writing new articles and submitting them to an article directory soon. In time, both of these sites will be on the first page search results.

Natural search results take time, but they are worth it.

Keeping you posted on the results,
Chrisi D
