what's the quickest way to get a site indexed AND ranked?

[Jason_V]

Warriors,

In your experience, what's the quickest free way to get a brand new site indexed AND ranked for your keywords?

Thanks,

Jason

grab some backlinks from site which have high authority in Google SERPs.
1) Youtube (comment)
2) Yahoo Answer (answer with your link)
3) Ezinearticles.com (1 article+your link in sig)
4) Digg+Reddit (works pretty nice for me)
5) Download.com (if you can put up a freeware of some sort)

[JeffLam]

Well, in my opinion, you should make use of Google Webmaster and Google Analytics and add your website in them.

Then submit your sitemaps.

That should get you indexed soon.

Promoting the website's SERPS after that will ensure better and faster indexing and rankings.

[Jason_V]

wow, these are great ideas thank you so much, I'd love to see more!

[Mohammad Afaq]

First Submit to Google

Keep building links.

This is very important because the only thing that would get you ranked are backlinks. The ways you can build backlinks are:

Go to a dofollow forum (warriorforum is one) (this is important, don't build nofollow backlinks)
Put a link to your site in the signature
Post like you usually do.

You will get enough backlinks in about a month to get your indexed and ranked high.

For nofollow or the dofollow confusion, check out this link: Afaq's Traffic Blog: What are backlinks? (A post for beginners)

My own experiences in this area: I set up a site (Wordpress blog), make 2-3 posts, and 2-3 pages; submit to Google, and bookmark the site in most of the bookmarking sites on SocialMarker.

This way I can see my site indexed on Google within a few days.

[stewjames]

thanks guys for the info. is there such thing called minimum content/page before a website will be considered for the ranking?

[Talinn]

Stew; yes, I think there is such a limit. Again from my experiences:

I set up a Wordpress blog, added 2 posts (about 300 words each), and 2 pages (contact and about me). I submitted to Google, and a day later I saw Googlebot crawling my site and so I waited for my site to be indexed for a couple of days. When I saw it wasn't; I added another post (600 words), and as soon as Google crawled that post my site was indexed.

Surely it depends on a lot of factors but in my experience yes, there is a minimum amount of content you need to have on your site before it's indexed by Google.

This looks like an interesting method.

I am going to try it right now!

Thank you

[chandan_dutta]

From my own experience I found submitting the sitemap is the best way to get indexed by google. More over yahoo answer really works very well.

Interesting...you think that there is a connection between your putting it in the field and google picking up on it?

How/Where did you see this?

How/Where did you see this?

Depending on your hosting options, you may have access to web statistics.
In there and again depending on web statistics s/w you may see useful information. For instance, the awstats package has a section called Robots/Spiders visitors which shows the name of the robots/spider (if known), the number of times it visited so far this month and the date/time stamp of the last visit. Robots displayed can include Alexa (IA Archiver), Googlebot and Yahoo Slump.

I guess Talinn reviewed a similar report.

Nice post jeff, however I think we could add to this a little. Firstly when you add your sitemap to google and other search engines then remember that they have 100's of sites so your site will go into a Que. If you limit it to this then you may not find your site indexed until your turn has come up in the que.

I would recommend doing exactly what Jeff has said along with bookmarking your website and submitting your rss feeds to rss feed sites - also add backlinks from other high authority sites.

Just with the bookmarking - rss submissions and backlinks building you should find yoursite indexed very soon. One problem about this is that your site could get sandboxed as your in a probationary period for new domains.

This is where Jeffs methods come into place. By adding your sitemap and using google analytics you are telling google that your site is not a spam site but you care about it. This is what I have learnt with my own experience. I have tested this on many sites.

My problem didnt lie in getting indexed fast but it was in not coming up in the search engines even on very low competition keywords. I then ran a few experiments and learnt that by using both techniques together your site is safer.

If your after quick indexing only then use the bookmarking - rss - and backlink method and you should be indexed within a day or 2.

Another thing which I noticed was that .com domain get indexed quicker then domains such as .info

cheers

[bozzie311]

anytime I have a new site, I run some AdWords PPC traffic and that works the quickest/best for me!

[coboi]

This is probably not the answer you want, but here goes anyway...

There is very little point in trying the latest technique to get ranked quickly in Google. Even if you manage it, you won't be on the first page for more than a day.

The only worthwhile technique is to get ranked slowly. Build up your onsite SEO and build up masses of good quality backlinks to your site.

If you want a quick boost of traffic, don't look to Google for that, go to some of these fads like Twitter.

Think longer term for real success.

Good luck

[godoveryou]

3stepads, freeadz - make 2 300 word posts with multiple backlinks
RSS Submit (Assuming you did create an XML document)

- This typically get's me indexed in less than 12 hours.

Ezine articles, Go Articles, Forum posting with back links (wink wink) normally yeilds ranking results very quickly. I've been trying a new formula lately suggested by a member's book and I still think this method is the best...

[premiertimesol]

Best Tool: Directory Submissions
Social Networking
Updated Social Media
Blog Commenting
Forum Commenting

[shawn_sg]

I guess paying would be the fastest!

[shawn_sg]

I think I should qualify my reply, paying $ is definitely the fastest and also one of the most effective

but i know that there are some free and pretty effective ways for search engines to crawl your site too. of course, one absolute no-no is to leave your page as 'under construction' and left there hanging... it'll take ages for you to be indexed!

[saggy23]

For fast indexing ...

post signature in do follow forums

use social bookmarking sites like digg

comment postings in do follow blogs

Write unique and quality content with proper keywords density. Post them in Ezines and other do follow article sites.

[pintara3]

Make a short video, I use traffic geyser, submit to numerous video sharing websites,then use social poster to post to Web 2.0 websites and get links back to your sales funnel.
Cheers

[Agnel]

I used to do forum posting, directory submission, article submission to getting backlinks to the website when comes to promotions I used to do social bookmarking, social networking websites like facebook, twitter etc and creating new landing pages too for the targeted keywords would help me to get traffic for the website

Thanks
