How to get listed in Google?

Google listing crawl

So you’ve rolled out the red carpet and are trying to wrangle visitors to your site, but you’re not helped by the fact that your site is not listed in Google’s search engine.  What are you to do?

From experience, the key to getting your site cached is by organizing several one-way links to your newly created site.  You might initially believe that this is a trivial undertaking, but I’ll have you know otherwise. Sure, you can always adopt black-hat techniques, but you risk the chance of being permanently banned by Google’s web crawler.

Most sites will be unwilling to link to your new site.  Permanent links come about over time and usually due to reputation - a quality which new sites lack.

So what are you to do?

Firstly, I recommend that you submit your site to Google using their submission page.  Google adds and updates new sites to their index each time the web is crawled.  Nonetheless, even though your site has been submitted, there is no guarantee that Google will deem your site worthy of being indexed.

The quickest way of receiving links of admirable quality is to publish a press release through a third-party, a site that specializes in press releases.  Yes, press releases provide you with the opportunity to publish content that contains a link to your own site, fulfilling your goal.

The topic of your press release can range from something very simple such as the announcement of your new site to the addition of a new feature - it truly doesn’t matter.

Because third-party news wires provide RSS feeds, releases are replicated on multiple sites in turn providing you with multiple one-way links.  Not bad, hey?

Bluehost.com have a great offer on at the moment.  If you sign up for a web hosting account, you will be rewarded with a free press release through PRWeb.com - a $80 value.
