How to get Listed on Google


Once you have your site ready and published, many questions might bother you such as,

“Would it work? What to do next? How to get it listed on Google? Does Google index web pages or sites automatically? How stable this site would be?” and so forth.

And rightly so, because you have given a considerable part of your life the website; plus a responsibility to promote and expand your business. Firstly, you must understand the value of submitting the website to Google. This way, people will visit you online to know more about the services you deal with. If your site catches their interest, they might even end-up being a potential customer. Make sure you submit your site once. No need to do it more than once, even if Google fails to catch hold of your site. If it hasn’t, it will. Just be patient as the entire process could take as little as a day; and as long as a year. There is no definite way to speed-up the process; however exchanging links from relevant webs sources may raise a slight ray of hope.

So, once your website is ready; believe in it. On top of all, believe in your hard work so the visitors can discover the trust in you. Now, the major question, ‘how can you make Google notice your site?’ Well, you may either wait for Google to send its crawlers; or try and use some techniques to get noticed. If you chose not to wait, try any of the following techniques to play your part:

·         First of all, submit your site through the Google submission page. It’s very easy.

·         Add your site to appropriate web directories via Directory submission technique.

·         Exchange links with other trusted sources on the Internet. (Link Exchange)

·         Write unique content for your website abiding by Google’s rules and policy. Make sure it’s not copied / duplicate.

To find out, if your website has been listed on Google, put your web-address in the site status tool by Google. Another major way to get your site indexed easily is to use Google Ad-sense for your site. However, the basic mantra to increase your chances is to write exceptionally well for your website. Google loves indexing original/ accurate content and people love reading it. Give some time to research the topic you are writing about before publishing it. If you think you can’t do it that well, seek Content Writing services from an SEO services company.

This is how you can do a word of good website. Once your site gets listed in Google, it will start receiving traffic. Now, it would be interesting to see how you can capitalize on the opportunity. Don’t sit back after submitting your site to Google, as there are other search engines too where you can submit your site. Since money and traffic will not roll over just like that, you will have to slog hard for it, unless Google is ready to pour its blessings on you. Good Luck!!
