Getting on that first page

If you want your sites indexed in 24 hours, then the best way to do it is to bookmark your pages to the top social bookmarking sites. Here is a list of some of the sites you should submit to to get your page indexed in 24 hours maximum (sometimes as little as 15 minutes):

Digg
Propeller
Del.icio.us
Mister-Wong
Furl
StumbleUpon
Backflip
Spurl
Buddymarks
Connectedy
Bookmark Tracker
Linkagogo
MyVMarks
Jumptags
MyLinkVault
Bookmark Tracker
A1-Webmarks
Oyax

There are many others to submit to, but if you bookmark your site at these bookmarking sites you will guaranteed get indexed in 24 hours, often in just minutes. Make sure you bookmark with your keywords in the title of the bookmark and in the description. Also include your keywords in the tags, including your secondary keywords.

The top 3 to submit to out of the above are Digg, Propeller and Del.icio.us. Those are definitely the best.

However, you might want to target some lower competition keywords first, as those are pretty competitive words to target right off the start. I would advise you begin by targeting low competition, more targeted keywords and build backlinks to your site and work your way up to the broad keywords you are currently targeting.

Hope that helps

Hi burtie,

If you got all day then there's no problem.

Get on over to Google Adwords, get an account if you don't already have one. Login and setup your first campaign, create an ad group for each keyword, write a couple ads for each keyword, set your bids at the recommend bid suggest by the budget optimizer and within a hour you should be on the first page of Google.

Enjoy the rest of the day by watching traffic pour into your website.

Now, if you were looking for a first page listing in the organic results, you have your work cut out for you. You have a good deal of strong competitors and it'll probably take months of work to get there.

You can start the process by getting Google's Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide!

I think with Adwords this will be costy but effective!

How much commission do you get for these Books? I just looked at the first :Self-Change Hypnosis. It costs about $20 and if Amazon pays 5%, your commission would be $1. Not much room for advertising I guess.
Raanking in the serps is also not easy. All these titles have quite broad keywords. Even when there are only a 1.000 competitors it will be difficult to outrank them. You need a lot of backlinks.
Every website under the search term "Self-Change Hypnosis" has this keyword in their content. Most of them probably in a higher percentage than you. There are 2 ways to get on the first page: Having more backlinks/PR or being more relevant than the others. (The latter works only with weak competitors.) I don´t think you are more relevant than the others since all others also have that keyword in their content. Your keywords for this page according to your metatags are:
<meta name="keywords" content="self help, self improvement, reviews, ratings, hypnosis, meditation," />
Self-Change Hypnosis isn´t even one of them.
What I would do if I want to sell this kind of merchandise is looking for an easy keyword. Low competition and difficult for building into a webpage content. (Unfortunately I can´t give you an example since I´m in Europe and don´t get the same Google pages as in The US. I can´t see the number of competitors) An imaginable difficult (difficult to build into a content) keyword combination could be instead of "self improvement" "improvement self". (I don´t know if this combination exists in Google/gets any searches. Just an example to give you the idea) Search results are broad match results and most, if not all, competing websites are probably optimized for "self improvement". If your content is optimized for "improvement self" you have an advantage and can get on the first page with minimal effort. But only with low and weak competiton. Make a page with that content and try to sell the book with this content.

Also, write some articles on ezinearticles.com. If you include your reference to your site, you'll help it get indexed better. Also try writing articles at ehow.com, and helium as well. But yeah I agree social bookmarking is fast. My site is like four months old, and I haven't been extremely diligent in promoting it, and already I have a PR2. Mostly I owe this to articles and social bookmarking.

It will take sometime from 4 to 7 months to get on top of google depending on high tight the competition is..

Do some link exchanges or buy a PR5 link and you'll be there... Or submit your site to social bookmarking sites

By the way, is this an associate-o-matic store?

Have you tried submitting articles to article banks? Those backlinks do a ranking good.

You can also submit your sitemap to Google's webmaster tools. They'll usually index the pages in your sitemap within 24 hours.

If you don't currently have a sitemap for your site(s), Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator will create a sitemap for you for free up to 500 pages.

So far, social bookmarking has been so effective for me regarding this wish to be on the first page... Automatic submission to social bookmarking sites is fast but I prefer manual submission as I can play with keywords in ever submission..

Register a .com domain with the words in it - 'Self Help Audio'

Create a massive amount of backlinks to your new domain name

Create the website in a silo configuration

Hope there is no competition in the niche..........

Get busy writing articles with your keywords targeted as well and make sure you use Ezinearticles and articles base. Remember it takes time to get on that first page!
