How To Get More Website Traffic and Search Engine Rankings

Help, The Search Engines Can’t Find My Website.

So you've built a website and you're waiting for traffic.

But the search engines don't seem to even know that your site is there! What should you do?

How can you start to get more website traffic and better search engine rankings? Read on.

=> Testing to See if You're Included

The first step is to see if the search engines actually know you exist or not. Typing in your main keyword is not a good way to see if the search engines know you exist yet, as your site could just be ranking very low.

To find out if you're included yet, just type in Site:yourdomain.com. This will pull up all the pages that the search engine knows about. This technique works on both Google and Yahoo.

If your site doesn't come up, that means the search engine doesn't know you exist. If it pulls up various pages from your site, then it means that you're just not ranking well for your keywords yet.

=> What to Do if the Search Engines Don't Know You Exist Yet

The main thing you need to do is get backlinks. Search engines will follow backlinks from websites they know about back to your site and index your website.

Start by submitting articles to article directories. Directories like EzineArticles, SearchWarp and GoArticles are crawled regularly by Google. If you submit 3-5 articles, you can almost definitely expect to be indexed within a week.

Post a link to your site on classified websites like usfreeads.com and Craigslist. These are also crawled regularly. Although the content there will be taken down in time, the goal is for it to just be up long enough for search engines to discover your site.

Finally, install Google Analytics and de-cloak your whois if possible. This will at least put you on Google's radar. Although Google hasn't admitted it, many SEO experts believe that Google regularly checks registrars for new registrations. If your whois is cloaked they won't be able to find your site.

If you follow these steps, then at this point you should have a few links pointing back to your website. That means that you've left enough of a trail for any intelligent spider to find your site.

What you need to do then is just wait. Make sure all your pages are interlinked so that when the spiders do come, they'll index all the pages on your site.

The process of getting indexed can take as little as a couple days and can take up to a few weeks.

Check to see if your site's been indexed every couple days by using the site:domain.com technique.

It's that simple - Just get as many backlinks as you can from several different sources and then wait for the spiders.
