Get indexed with Google. A Beginner Blogger's Basic

This is with reference to my previous post regarding the indexing with Google.

Being a Beginner Blogger one must know that the Google search engine is perhaps the most popular search engine on the internet. Over 68% of all searches on the internet are performed using Google. So this is much necessary to get in the Google vehilce ;)

Using Search Engine Submission programs is about as obsolete now and very poor way to do so. Submission is not necessary and does not guarantee inclusion into Google.

A simple but very effective way to get your Optimized web pages listed in Google within just a few hours or less. most web pages are found and indexed automatically, when one of Googles greedy little spiders crawl the web looking for fresh new contents. Once the Google spider crawls your web site, instantly it is listed into Google according to the Rank it gives you and the way in which your pages have been Keyword Optimized.

How to invite the Google bot towards your site? Google Toolbar is the answer!

After you've downloaded and installed the Google Toolbar, notice the "Green PageRank Strip" just above the Google Logo. If you check the Page Rank it would show 10/10, a full strength, isn't it?

Enter the URL of your Optimized Web Pages into the Google Search box, to be indexed.

Next click the Search Web button next to it and Google will begin searching for your URL.

This action will instantly call the Google Spiders to come search your Optimized web pages and immediately your site will get Listed into Google that's it!

You will know the #1 page (the Index page) to your Optimized web pages has been listed when you perform a search in Google using your Optimized web page URL.

When you look at the Google Toolbar, you will find the bar is "White". This indicates Google has you listed.

How to get your Blog Indexed with Google

This is all about to promote the Blog and this is only possible if your blog is indexed with some search engine. Here, as most of us are concerned with Google search so we will talk about this particularly but other too generally.

Google crawls the web regularly and indexes new sites as it finds them. But it can take weeks for Google to index a new blog and possibly it would not index all of your pages at once which can make it difficult for you blog to be visible in search results.

This is must to get your blog indexed with Google and then off course you will desire to have all of the pages indexed by the same. There are certainly some practicle steps helping you to get the task easier.... the ever!

Check about the current status of your blog with Google Search. If you find luckily, thats great step indeed but if not [most of us would claim this ;)] ..... no problem beginner bloggers... just come on friends.


First of all being a creat an account under the Google Webmaster Tools surely if you are using the Blogger then your gmail account user is enough.

In the add url section enter the address of your blog like mine i.e.

blogger-beginner-money-basics.blogspot.com

Yes, there is no need to mention www as prefix while you are using blogspot domain.


After this step you will have to verify the current status of your added blog with google search. This will autheticate your ownership regarding the blog added. This also heps to access statistics and the crawl errors.


If you have verification status "NOT VERIFIED" then .... There is nothing wrong. As mentioned above first time this often happens and even then Google offers two methods in order to assist in this regard!

Add a meta tage to your blog template body right after the "head" tag or upload a html file. Google provides the meta tages for the blogger and you can easily generate the same even without somebody vetran.

This is the time to learn basics about the site map of your blog. Well this is an xml file that would need to be uploaded. For Blogger, Google does not provide the site map and for the best solution there are many tips available to do so.

These are basics for bloggers who are planning to get their blogs indexed.

Basics of the Page Rank

Page Rank is the term a blogger must be familiar with. In our last article about Search Engine Optimization SEO we discussed different factors to optimize the blog.

There is a concept of popularity of your website among other sites. Yes you may also think about the backlink article too. What I would like to add here is that crosslinks are equally important as backlinks. A crosslink means the link of your own blog referring one of the posts within the same blog. It will assist or point the search engine bot to index that particular page too while indexing another page of your blog.

Coming back to the page rank. Page Rank is the popularity of your link and it ranges from 1 to 10 depending upon quality of backlinks or crosslinks within your blog. There are many tools available to check the page rank.

The pages with rank 1 would fall in poor range but better than those with zero rank. The higher number would show qualification of a link making the standing in first pages of Google SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).

The factors that would boost the rank:

Update Pages Frequently
Add Pages Frequently
Quality Inbound Links
Quality Relevant Links
No Broken Links

The factors that would decrease the rank would encompass:

Lots of broken links
SEO Black Hat Techniques
Bad inbound links such as Porn, Sex, Drugs etc
Link spamming
Bad Content

Search Engine Optimization for Blogger

Search Engine Optimization is really an interesting topic for beginners who want to promote their blog effectively. What is this, by the way? This refers the process of improving the traffic of a website by using the key words in a systematic way through search engines.

As we are focusing over the traffic to a site and according to the above statement one must target the points what a search engine needs while crawling to your site.


There are two major factors addressed by the search engines:


On Page Optimization also called On Site Optimization

Off Page Optimization also called Off Site Optimization



On Page Optimization deals with Blog Layout and further the Post Layout.

Blog Layout comprised of the Blog Name, Blog Description, its URL & overall appearing sections of the Blog. This also depends upon the template you choose for your blog. There are many templates available but go for as simple as it can be. Post Layout include the post heading, the contents of the post and any other relevant links to some other pages.

Selection of Keywords - Ask yourself about the keywords you opt to use! Yes, I am not kidding but this is the truth. People who search for some information are like you. Being a user what would you like to input to Google Search? You can find out your keywords and like wise other websites containing these keywords. How all are doing! This is the question.

Keywords Rich Contents - While posting something into your blog, the blogger must know the approximate limitations of using the keywords repeatedly. Take suitable alternates too. Usage of keywords must be up to 10 to 15 percent of the overall contents. There is a big misconception or mistake of repetition of the same words for more than the desired level because redundancy would tarnish your blog image to the search engines and chances are great that your blog would seem to be the spam.

Density of the Keyword - One must be specific towards the topic in consideration. Do not let your post be bulky only due to irrelevant material as it would loose the strength of your keywords. this is really important. Since Google crawls from left to right, you may write your keywords in the very first couple of lines and then once in the mid of the post and finally once at the last line of the post.

How BOT makes the match - There may be many misconceptions about how search engine detects about a certain blog and its very purpose. This involves the blog name & its URL and follows the description comprised of your main keywords as soon as it comes to the title of the post it makes the sense of what about the Blog is. That's it! Bot will index the blog even before proceeding to the actual contents of the post.

Post Layouts - Till the moment, since the search engine has recognized your blog even before your post contents, now is the fine time to pick alternate good words to write long posts in order to have good in terms of the subject matter. As told above about the template choosen, a simple template would be easy to make the search engine crawl the contents. So is the case with posts in the blog. Simple blog would have so simple layouts for the posts too. This would make it easier to get with the SEO.

Post Length - Write optimal length posts. A small post would make, sometimes, no sense to the bot. About 250 or more words would be reasonable length.

About us Section - This is upto you how to deal with this fact but I have learnt here to provide some information about yourself. This will really make a sense of reality of the person behind the blog and also the same will be a plus in terms of SEO too.


Off Page Optimization includes the Back Links to your URL

This is second factor of the Search Engine Optimization, also termed as Off Site Optimization. This is the out of the bound concept. Here we can take the example of SEO Services to make the concept more clear. The first one was related to the internal make up of the website or blog. This deals with the external factors that would help your blog making a better rank and ultimately a good mean of making money.

Please read previous post for this issue.

See you later.
