For any newly launched website, the first sign of success can be celebrated only with the initial frequent visits made from the various search engine spiders. Attracting the spiders to your newly launched website can be a comparatively difficult task, but not impossible, especially with the help of the below mentioned tips. Well, at least we managed to get our new soccer predictions website catch the eyes of the spiders and got it indexed in the very first 48 hours which we launched just 3 weeks before the first game.

So, carefully follow the points below if you wish your website to be indexed soon by the topmost search engines on the web.

1. Research and more research

Every question has its own answer hidden within itself. The answer to getting your website indexed onto the web also lies within the web itself. Researching the web for the strategies and tricks will only help you to learn more about the system. You can find out a high ranked website similar to yours, study its making and then get your website crafted with every small requirement followed by the previous. You can learn about the SEO strategies and follow them in the making process of your website. However, don’t just follow one website instead, try keeping a track of a couple of similar websites. This will only help you to learn new things and methods to give the perfect kick start to your website when it is launched.

2. Quality content

Once the basic infrastructure is designed perfectly, its time you focus on its content. Make sure that your content is unique, genuine in its quality and offering crucial information to its targeted audience. Also ensure that the content is based on the niche your website is designed for. If possible, already keep some future content ready for your website so that you can regularly add new content to your website in the first few hours.

3. Internal linking

Developing your website with a perfect internal link structure is an extremely essential point you should follow. Once you have decided about your niche, make sure you create the necessary pages for your websites, such as “Articles”, “Blog”, “Contact”, etc. which you will use in the future. Once these pages are created, you should link them with each other. Ensure that each page links with only at least one another page. This will help the search engine spiders to crawl through from one page to the others, thus indexing all the pages of your website. Also, make sure that the links are related and follow each other perfectly.

4. Keywords based optimization

Select the best niche for your website, something that you are fond of and would like to follow every day. Based on the niche, research and select the keywords carefully. Use Google Keyword Tool in order to closely study the keywords that are researched closely by the users. Once the keywords are selected, place them appropriately into your content. Ensure that you don’t cluster the keywords in your content. The right keywords and keyword phrases help the search engine spiders to understand your content and thus rank your website closely.

5. Submissions in web directories and search engines

Until here, all the points mentioned above helped you prepare your website for the spiders. Here onwards, you will actually start getting the attention of the spiders. Submit your content to all the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. Add your website’s main URL to these search engines in order to start the main process of getting your website noticed by the spiders.

Now sign up to the search engines webmaster tools in order to create a sitemap for your newly launched website. With this, you can now start submitting your website into the best free and paid web directories. But make sure that you submit your website to only the best ones and not to all the directories.

6. Submissions in social media websites

Another way of attracting the attention of the search engine spiders is by adding your website content into some of the best social media websites (from crawlers point of view) such as Mixx, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, etc. which have a huge traffic.

Once you have followed each of these steps carefully, you can relax and then see the spiders come and visit your website and get it indexed on the search engines in the shortest time duration.

Social Media Marketing For Small Business

Social Media Marketing For Small Business

About 33 % of consumers are not connecting with brands on social networks, according to a new report by interactive marketing firm Razorfish.

Razorfish surveyed 1,000 consumers who reported both social media and ecommerce activity with the goal to find out how social media influences their purchasing decisions. 80 % were members of at least one social network and 40 % were active in two.

“Social media has quickly become one of the most talked-about topics in marketing. We didn’t want this report to just be more of the same, so instead we took a different, more scientific approach to evaluating this phenomena and measuring its effects,” said Shiv Singh, VP and Global Social Media Lead at Razorfish.

“Today, a brand’s actions speak louder than its words and pushing out messages is no longer enough to excite and engage consumers.”
The question is now: How about you the small businesses and your social media activities?

More than brand companies, small and medium business should step into social media marketing to expand your message and spread the word to the potential client, to make him informed, to make him interested and to make him a paid customer.

To bother your targeted audience with outbound advertising messages is not enough in today’s times. The user out there has established some kind of personal advertising filter. Moreover he wants to find valuable information when he decides that he needs them, not when you decide to send him message through email marketing, radio or TV commercials, or call him by phone and disturb his daily doing.

You need to build your credibility to address your marketing message. You need to be personal and authentic and to avoid sounding like an advertisement.

Be helpful and be valuable offer relevant content. This is the way how you as a small business can gain customer loyalty.
