Indexing Your Site On Google | Free SEO Tools Blog
The most important internet marketing tools and how to index your site on Google. This information is critical for new websites that are launching or have just gone through a major redesign. If you are a do it yourself-er (DIY) SEO manager, read this.
Everyone remembers to look for a good URL to get their website started, but many people forget that they will also want to own the same names for their blog, Twitter account, Gmail and maybe even a (800) number. You want your website found as soon as possible when you launch it and the best things you can do to make sure you are found is to have many other accounts pointing to it even before it exists. I call this “Cabbage Patch Marketing”.
The Cabbage Patch Kids marketing company created demand first, through advertising, then released their product. This is not normally a marketing principle for a small business, but it works on the search engines. Give the search engines something to search for, on a popular site, and then when your site is available it can be indexed almost immediately. Just start doing a few searches for it organically through your pre-made links and your site will be indexed. No cost, no crazy link building, just search for your website through links that are already live. Follow these 5 steps to do it right.
5 steps to market your new website.
Get a URL with your keywords in the URL. I recommend getting it from a solid provider like IPOWER. They are a very inexpensive service and provide great, reliable service. They are by far one of the least expensive providers and offer many tools built into their service and have great customer service. I would also recommend their back-up service. You never know why a page might go down, but f it does they have your site backed-up for a very small fee.
Tip #1 When you choose your web address try and stay away from hyphens or dashes in your URL if possible and get your website up ASAP. Even if it’s not very good, you can make it better later when you are making money.
Tip #2 Set up a Twitter account with your URL as the name (or at least a phrase that mentions your URL).
Set up a link to your website from your new twitter account before the site exists and start Twittering with people. This will be your first of many links that you will need for your new site. One goal for you will be to get into conversations with highly publicized organizations on Twitter. These tweets can quickly show up in organic searches for your company name and will show up in your organic search results. (This will be link #1.)
Tip#3 If you don’t have a Facebook account get one.
Your business or service needs to be public and here is a place you can talk about your new website to your friends and put out links to products and services you may offer without being salesy. (This will be link #2.)
Tip#4 Get a LinkedIn and Gmail account (using your URL@gmail.com).
If you are serious about SEO it is almost required to have a Gmail account. At some point I bet you will get one so why not do it now?. Also, you want people to be able to contact you if they are interested, even if your website is still in its infancy stages. Overall, Gmail is a great place to start because of its access to other tools like Google Analytics and its ability to use for logging into many different accounts on the web like YouTube and Facebook. Now go to your LinkedIn account and set up a link to your website. (This will be link #3.)
5. Download WordPress (it’s free) and host your blog on your website using the Thesis theme.
Wordpress is not just for blogs and the Thesis theme will make your site look great. It has a minimal cost, but it will help you make a beautiful website not just a free blog. This is a one-time investment in your new website and well worth it because it will teach you how to make a great site that is search engine friendly and will help your SEO. It will also ensure that you get your blog up quickly and it can be hosted directly on your new website.
If you are not ready to spend money on your website there are other services like Blogger that will get the job done, but I wouldn’t recommend them unless you are only blogging for fun. Best practices say to have a blog on your website, because this will keep more of your traffic on your website. This is important if you are selling a product or offering a service. Having your new blog entries on your home page will also boost your SEO because your website will constantly be hosting new content as you write articles. (This can be link #4.)
Good Luck and Happy Blogging

Hi Mark,
but it worked! I like the way you have twisted it work with new websites, create the links to the site before it exists and then it will be indexed super-quick once it appears. Nice out-of-the-box thinking, thanks for sharing.

Indexing a site on Google is important, but if you don’t take the time to do it manually the crawlers will find it eventually anyways. I think the most important thing for a new website to do is submit the site to Webmaster tools so you have the ability to track keywords and the amount of links referring your site. Not to mention the fact that if you submit your site to Google webmaster tools, it will be defacto indexed.
Once registered as the official owner of a site, the next step is to submit the sitemap. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT step. If your site does not have a sitemap it will never rank higher than a site that does. Do not forget to submit a sitemap, as well as organize it in a user friendly manner.
It is hard to find the perfect SEO company. It is also difficult for most organizations to start researching whether they want to spend their marketing budget on SEO or other SEM (search engine marketing) options like PPC (Pay Per Click) ads through one of the different search engines like Google or Bing. One of the better ways might be advertising on a job sight or Craig’s list. This way the social media companies and private contractors will come to you.
I am fully new to seo. I discovered this site by luck and to be truthful, web marketing is completely new to me. We have discovered a couple of very good websites about Search engine optimisation now that I do know what the process is even termed. However, I wonder, does any individual have any very good suggestions on finding the perfect Search engine optimization enterprise?.
