"How Can I Get My Site On The Top In The Search Engines?"

Here is the question

How can I get my site xxxx.com on the top page in search engines? My website does not appear in your (Google's) search engine. It has been submitted several times over the last 3 months.

Here is my reply:

You are going to have to decide what keywords you want associated with your site. In other words what are the keywords that you want associated with your site when people type in search terms?

When you answer that question and you have your chosen keywords in mind then you work on incorporating those keywords within your site.

"How To Make The Blog Come Up In Google Search?"

It seems the questions being asked are always the same.....


"How to make the blogger blog to come up in google search? Step by step please...?
I need to optimize my blog to show up in google search. How do I add tags, lables key words and where do I register my site with the search engine? Please provide a step by step explanation."

and here is the reply that I gave:


First of all a lot of the major search engines have links to where you can add your site manually. However this will not put your site on the search engines immediately. Sometimes it can take as much as a few months for your site to show up when you add it manually.

The best and fastest way to get your blog on the search engines is to decide which keywords you want associated with your blog. Type in the keywords to see where you rank and if your site doesn't appear as high up in the search engines as you want it to be then work on incorporating those keywords into the content of your blog.

For instance my blog

The Adsense Consultant

shows up on page 1 or 2 of Google's search engine results when the keyword "adsense consultant" are typed in. Now mind you my blog is about 4 months old and it showing up on page 1 of google's search engines is a minor miracle. But I didn't do any manual submission to the blog, I just work on the content of my blog.

A client of mine

The Computer Dude

has a blog that shows up on page one of Google's search engine results when someone types in the keyword "computer dude" - heck his search results are better than mine and I work at optimizing both blogs!

So giving you step by step instructions may be darn near impossible!

It will depend on what keywords you want associated with your blog and where you blog ranks now as opposed to where you want it to rank in the search engines.

"How Do I Add My Blog To Google's Search Engine Results?"

Well I can tell you that there will be a lot of work involved as far as getting your blog (or website) high in the search engine rankings! Some people are lucky in that their sites get indexed right away in the search engines but this doesn't happen for everybody!

You have to decide what keywords you want your blog to be associated with. Then the next thing that you do is to do a search using those search terms and see where your blog shows up. If you don't like where your blog is showing up or worse yet your blog site isn't showing up at all then you have to work harder at incorporating those search terms within the content of your blog.

You should also realize too that there is a LOT of competition out there for high search engine rankings and that just means that you'll have to work harder at getting high search engine rankings.

The competition has found devious and illegitimate ways at getting high search engine rankings and unfortunately that just makes it harder for the "average" person or business to get high search engine rankings for their own sites.

I work very hard at being able to maintain my own The Adsense Consultant Blog on the first page of Google's search engine results and to put it quite plainly - it does take a lot of work BUT it is definitely worth it if you want your site to appear high in the search engine rankings!

When You Are Ready For Results

Just Let Me Know!

How Long Does It Take For The Search Engines To Find My Site?

Actually your site is "findable" once it is online!

However the problem lies with how well your site has been optimized for the search engines. Let me explain!

When people are using the search engines to find out information about a certain topic or subject the search engines will return a list of sites that are related to those searches. Now while your site may contain the information that people are searching for that doesn't mean that it will automatically show up in the search engine results ONLY because those sites that DO show up have better optimized their sites for those search words / terms.

If your site is only a few hours or days old then "yes" it may take some time before it appears in the search engine results but there have been cases where site content has shown up in as little as 24 hours!

For example, my The Adsense Consultant Blog has shown up on page 1 of some search engine results only because I will post about a popular subject that many people are looking for - namely when the first sighting of the monthly "Payment in progress" has been made! People who are using adsense on their sites are anxious to know when the monthly payment process has begun and if they don't see that "payment in progress" line on their adsense account's payment history then they are curious (and anxious) about whether or not anyone else has received theirs and they will go online to look and see if anyone else has received their "payment in progress" line yet.

Since I have Adsense on some of my sites, I'm anxiously awaiting that "payment in progress" line too and so I blog about it and when people are searching for information relating to this my blog will show up and there have been times when blog posts that I have made in less than 24 hours will show up in the search engine results!

But this is due to the fact that I have chosen a very popular topic - something that I know people are looking for. As a matter of fact I wasn't even aware of this until I started checking the statistics of my site visitors.

Another factor is that I work on optimizing my sites for the search engines so that while my site rankings are high that will mean that my subsequent new content that I add will result in high search engine rankings as well.

So if you want your site to rank high in the search engines as SOON as possible you will have to first, optimize your site for the search engines and choose content that a lot of people will be looking for!

How Do I Get People To View My Blog?

This is going to depend on a lot of things!

First of all you should give your blog a chance (and some time) to start to build a reputation and a following.

If your blog is new then you can go to the Blogger.com's The Coffee Shop and announce your blog (and provide a link to it) to the world!

Another way that people find your blog is through the search engines.

Basically how this works is that people will use a search engine to find information. The search engine will return a list of sites that have information relating to the search terms that people have typed into the search engine. What YOU want YOUR site to do is show up on the list of search engine results when people are looking for information that is related to the information that is on your own blog.

The higher up your site is in the search engine results, the more traffic / visitors you are more likely to get.

I should warn you though that search engine optimization is not as easy as it sounds. There are a lot of people clamoring to get those high-ranking search engine listings and they have found quite a number of different (and illegitimate) ways of doing it!

You should also install a counter and one of the free statistic tracking services so that you can see how much (or how little) traffic your site gets so that you will have more information as you work to increase your traffic numbers.
