Submit Blog to Search Engines

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) aims at increasing the volume and improving the quality of traffic to a website from search engine results. Search engines work on different algorithms to analyze the contents and keywords, and present the search results. Google, for instance, assigns page ranks to the sites and sites that rank highly will appear early in the results. Of course, many other factors are considered by search engines, such as relevance, unique content, coding and quality of links. The major search engines know that revealing these factors will only encourage manipulation of the ranking system and have thus been secretive about how the ranking algorithms work.

While no SEO consultant can be absolutely certain about how each search engine views your site, the common agreement is that the more visible your site is on the internet, the higher your ranking will eventually be. Having your site linked to by many other sites and indexed by different search engines increase its exposure and visibility. We have given readers a list of Blog Directories and Feed Directories. In this article, we shall provide a list of search engines where you can submit your website or Blog URLs for Free and have your site or Blog indexed by the search engines.

Website Indexing

Unless you have created a private blog, it is a matter of time that your blog is indexed by the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. One of the fastest ways to have your site indexed is to get another site that is already in the search engine listings to link to you. When the search engine crawlers visit that site, they will find your site and index it. We tried this out by linking to our new Blog and it appeared in Google search listings within three hours. Hence, try this method if you do not want to wait for search engines to approve your site submission.

Before we proceed to the list of search engine sites, there are a few points to note:-

1. To check if your site has been indexed by a search engine, enter the full URL into their search query. For some search engines like Microsoft Live Search, enter site: followed by the full URL. If you see your site appearing in the search results, it has been indexed and there is no need to resubmit the site.

2. If your Blog has been linked to by Blog Directories, websites or Blogs, you may see these other sites that mention your Blog appearing first in the search results. More likely than not, they have a higher page rank. Scroll through the remaining search result pages and you will probably find a listing that is solely about your Blog.

3. When submitting your site, you do not need to submit the URL of each individual webpage. Submit only the top-level webpage and for Blogger Blogs, it will be an address like this http://blogname.blogspot.com without the www. before the blogname.

4. You can submit your sitemap to Google and login to Google Webmaster site to know the status of the indexing and view traffic statistics. Also, submit your sitemap to Yahoo! to find out more about the index and links to your site. Submit Blogger Sitemap to MSN and Ask.com too.


5. If you add your URL in Yahoo!, it will appear in their other search sites like AlltheWeb and AltaVista as well. Similarly, AOL Search uses the data by Google.

6. Some of the sites send advertisements and newsletters to you in exchange for free submission. If you don't want that, remember to opt out of it. Avoid having your regular email account filled with these mail by creating another free web-based email account just for website submissions.

7. Since search engines have different standards of content, design and technical specifications, submission of your site does not guarantee that it will be included in their database.

Website Submission Services

For a fee, some of them offer to send your URL to more than a hundred search engines. Is it necessary to have your webpage listed in all the smaller search engines? We think that Google, Yahoo! and MSN have cornered such a large share of the market that it is sufficient just to have your website listed there. However, the decision is yours to make. For a start, you may want to use their free services and monitor the traffic.

40 Simple Ways to Build Trust in Your Website Visitors

"It is absolutely necessary that your website must create the environment of trust otherwise, most of your efforts will be wasted. Have you ever thought – how to create the environment of trust for a website? Don’t be panic, its very easy to build trust for your online visitors.

As you already know that - you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Building trust for your online visitors cannot be achieved by just a single action. Trust is achieved by many little actions you do throughout your website and when its taken together, give users a sense of stability, honesty and legitimacy for your business and services you provide.

Another good or bad news is that only few website owners focus on building trust in the minds of their visitors. So, if you do it well, it can become a real and sustainable competitive advantage for your business and you can keep your competitors away.

Here are 40 simple actions you can take to get started.

1. Your website design is the first impression. Make sure it is professional and relevant to the subject matter.

2. Navigation must be intuitive. If visitors can't find what they are looking for easily, they will question your competence in providing what they want.

3. Make the website personal by giving it its own tone and voice. People buy people.

4. Follow the HEART rule of creating online content. (Reminder: HEART stands for Honest, Exclusive, Accurate, Relevant and Timely.)

5. Use language that is appropriate to the audience. It will build empathy.

6. Regularly add new content to your site. It shows that the business is alive and kicking.

7. Review all links. Doubts will quickly form in your visitors' minds if links don't work or, worse still, take them to error pages.

8. Good grammar and spelling matter. Errors give the impression of sloppiness and carelessness.

9. Don't make outrageous and unbelievable claims, like "Read this blog and you'll be a millionaire by the end of the week." People are used to scams, get-rich-quick schemes and rip-offs.

10. Publish REAL testimonials and third-party endorsements. Try to always use real names and link to websites where possible. Some sites show images of letters sent by happy customers.

11. Publish case studies about customers you have helped, who use your product, etc.

12. Don't put down, curse or insult competitors. It's unprofessional. It is better to offer an objective comparison of competitive services or products.

13. Focus on building your long-term reputation, not on making quick sales.

14. Write articles for humans, not search engines.

15. Make your 'About Us' page personal and comprehensive. It plays an important part in making visitors feel comfortable that real people are behind the site.

16. Publish your photo or the photos of the key people involved with the site. Again, this reinforces the fact that there are real people behind the screenshots.

17. Clearly identify who is behind the site. Nothing creates more suspicion than a site that tries to hide the identity of its publishers.

18. On the 'Contact Us' page, provide an email form, telephone number, fax and address of the company. In Europe, it is a legal requirement for sites taking funds, but even sites driven by advertising will benefit from openness.

19. Provide a telephone number that people can call and talk to a person.

20. Provide Web addresses linked to the website domain, not addresses from free webmail services such as Hotmail and Gmail.

21. Think carefully about reciprocal links. If your site is about organic food and you have links to Party Poker, people are going to question your integrity.

22. Think carefully about the adverts you display on your site. Ensure that they are relevant to your subject and audience.

23. Write and publish your privacy policy. Be clear about what you will and will not do with any personal data you collect. State that you adhere to all data protection laws. Make it easy to read and don't use legal gobbledygook.

24. Write and publish a security policy. State what measures you take to ensure that all transactions are secure as well as how well you handle customers data.

25. Ensure that you have a security and privacy policy which is linked from the footer on every page. Make the link more prominent on all the order pages.

26. Clearly publish your guarantee. I would recommend making it a 100% money-back guarantee if possible.

27. Clearly state your refund and returns policy.

28. If you use PayPal, put the PayPal logo on your site. If you have a merchant services account with a major bank like Citibank or HSBC, put its logo on your site.

29. Use Google search on your site for two reasons. First, it is a great search solution which will help your visitors find what they are looking for. Second, having the Google name on your site instills trust.

30 If there are well-known industry associations for your subject, join up and put their logos on your site.

31. Have a forum on your site and respond quickly to questions. Have the attitude that you are happy to help others without receiving immediate reward. As the old saying goes, 'Givers always gain.'

32. Allow people to comment on articles. Interactivity and an exchange of views build community and a sense of involvement.

33. If people provide constructive criticism or comments in the forum, don't delete them, but respond with your point of view.

34. Use the words 'secure website' whenever you try to get any information from visitors, including newsletter sign-ups, forum input and payment.

35. On every page, state, "We take your privacy and security very seriously." Link the statement to the security and privacy policy.

36. If you are selling a subscription, offer a low-cost, entry-level option. This could be a one-day taster, 'a week before billing starts' or a monthly trial.

37. Only ask for information from customers that you really need. For example, for an email newsletter sign-up, the only information you REALLY need is an email address, so that is all you should ask for.

38. If you have pricing on your website, make it transparent. I recently went to buy a book which was advertised for $10. When I checked out, they added tax, post and packaging, and the final bill was $19.50. I didn't buy it as I felt they had deliberately tried to mislead me.

39. Start a small newsletter of your company/services & circulate it among your clients/employees. Also, publish it on your website regularly.

40. Allow people to “unsubscribe” from your mailing list. This may sound very obvious, but I have found that many websites still don’t follow it.

To ensure that you are continually improving your trustworthiness, every time you go to a website, ask yourself whether you trust it or not. Then ask yourself why you have formed the opinion you have.

Google Adsense - Breaking the Code

10 Unorthodox Tips To Make Money With AdSense

Have you came across successful stories on how others are making big bucks with Adsense, and you just frowned, because you could never figure out how?

Is your Adsense revenue lacklustre?

Are you tired of trying to figure the secrets of more successful websites?

Earning money with Adsense does not have to be a guessing game, and anyone with the right information can easily achieve the following:

• How to start making money with AdSense even if you have never done it before.
• How to triple your current click-through if you already have any.
• Multiply your earnings.
• Make More Than $10,000 in one month, every month, with Adsense revenue!

Why AdSense is so easy and so powerful for you?

A) It is a residual income, kind of "set it and forget it".

B) It is very easy to build good websites for the sole purpose of AdSense revenue (as long as you treat this as a real business).

C) You don't need to be a genius search engine optimization (SEO) expert in order for you to succeed with AdSense.

D) It doesn’t force the visitors on your website to take serious action in order for you to make money. All they do is naturally click on ads that might help them reach their goals and you make money from each click!

This is why we decided to focus on AdSense… Especially for you!

Things You Have to Know Before We Start.

Before anyone can begin to understand the basics of increasing their earnings with Adsense, they must have a certain level of background knowledge.

Before we begin, make sure that you know how to do the following, and that you aren’t fooled into buying this information from anyone touting it as a “secret” to success.

While the following fundamentals are key to success, they are not big secrets, so don’t be fooled into paying for them. Do, however, take time to learn and implement them if you haven’t already.

FUNDAMENTALS

• Compared to what Google tells you in their Adsense Optimization tips, using large rectangle blocks for Adsense ads, borders, and outlines that are the same (or similar) color as your web page MAY avoid having your ad “stand out”. In addition, sticking with the color blue is ALWAYS the best bet, as internet surfers are accustomed to clicking on blue-colored links. So what should you do? Always experiment with your ads layout so that you and you alone, determine the best layout to generate the highest revenue possible from your site.

• You don't have to write your own original content – Stop worry about duplicate content, done right you can use other people content, rank high in search engines and they will thank you for this!

• The more sites you have, the BETTER. Utilizing Adsense on only one website is fine, but isn’t likely to garner much attention—or profit—unless you have an enormous amount of traffic. Put simply, the more sites you maintain, the better chances you have of realizing your financial goals.

Will these tips help you maximize your profitability through Adsense?
Absolutely! Are they secrets? Absolutely not!

Remember, these are FUNDAMENTALS, not insider tips. Learning them will help you get started, but they will not separate you from the crowd, so don’t spend your hard earned dollars just to have someone regurgitate the same information that your average webmaster already knows.

1on40 SEO pay $40 per referral

I'm sure that by now you've heard of 1on40, the new SEO kid on the block.

1on40 is the new website submission service that claims, very boldly I might add, that they will get you to the top result for 5 keywords on Google, Yahoo! and 39 other major search engines within 120 days. Submission to their service is very easy, free and they guarantee these results.

1on40 simply want's everyone interested in ranking at the top of the SERPS to give their service a try.

One of the statements on their homepage clearly says it.

"Pay nothing for our unique service until you see your web site at the NUMBER ONE position on Google and the other 39 TOP search engines for the 5 keywords. Get top result for once - FREE.

Once at NUMBER ONE position we will leave YOUR web site there for 7 days to prove our ground breaking service. Then you need to start paying us (bidding), for our 'THEN PROVEN' service and carry on having tested our service without risking your money like you would on other ‘hyped up SEO services that underperform or simply do not work’.

It costs nothing to give us a try... You have to see it work to believe it, therefore we don’t charge you a dime until you have - GUARANTEED.

Once you’ve tested us and seen your site at NUMBER ONE position on Google, Yahoo and 38 other TOP search engines for 5 keywords it’ll be time to pay us (bid) to keep it there. YOU can keep your web site at NUMBER ONE for as long as you like by bidding on your keywords.

Each bid you make secures another 120 days at NUMBER ONE on the TOP 40 search engines including Google and Yahoo."

Now while there has been much buzz going on around the net about whether they can do what they claim they can or not, that's not what this post is about.

Thousands of people are signing up to try this new service - But time is limited. They will end the introductory free website submissions and begin the 'paid for service' in March 2008. This is only days away.

Now, with all of the buzz they are creating right now, you still have a small window of opportunity left to promote 1on40 while it's still free and pump some serious money into your bank account.

Did you know that every person you introduce to 1on40 earns you 1 credit and that every credit can be redeemed for $40 cash? And this applies whether that person signs up for the website submission or as an affiliate.

Here are a couple of excerpts from the news section of the 1on40 website.
(remember, 1on40 was released to the public in October 2007, it's only new here in the States)

January 6th 2008

"1on40’s service is Free and You get paid to distribute it. If you don't someone else will! Top referrer this period has earned over £200,000GBP in redeemable credits"

(note: that's $400,000 USD!)

January 19th 2008

"We are excelling our own expectations and results.

Since Beta test began in August 2007, 98O clients have hit the number one result in Google and Yahoo for 5 keywords.

On average each of the 98O web sites made a staggering 95,OOOUKGBP/$19O,OOOUSD 'each' between the 15th December and 15th January 2008. From today we are planning to pay out a revenue share from the bids on keywords to our loyal partners/affiliates. When a client bids on their 5 keywords the partner/affiliate that introduced them will get 15% of the bid as well as the credit.

Each time th bid is made the 15% is paid out for life.

For example, we would be sending checks/cheques out to 1800 partners/affiliates who joined us before October for over '3 million GBP/6 million USD."

A later news release stated:

February 4th 2008

"Just 2 weeks after releasing this statement we have made another 428 client's web sites NUMBER ONE on Google, Yahoo and 100's of other search engines. Now 1on40 sees 980 plus another 428 clients at the 1st result for their 5 keywords every day.

1,408 very, very happy clients every day...

1,408 very happy clients paying for their keywords means our affiliates are getting rich.

Our clients are generating Huge revenue from their existing sites and our affiliates are getting paid 15% of the bids their clients make Plus 1% from their down line's clients.

There is money to be made everywhere with 1on40."

Think about it.

Every web site on the Web is a client waiting for 1on40's free service. Everyone wants to get More business and increase their profit. All you need to do is show them how and benefit from it. Every Internet marketer and affiliate wants this service to promote their business.

And get this - They pay down to 10 levels deep!

You should get in now though. The reason I'm saying this is because it is very easy to promote a service such as this while it's still free. That all ends with the release of their 'paid for service' which begins in March.
