So how did this page get to the top of the results for your search? Just getting found by Google is pretty simple. The difficult bit is making sure your site appears somewhere near the top of the search engine results. So how do you make it happen?

Submit your site – save your money!

Submitting your site is more or less a mechanical activity and you don’t need to spend any money on this. Google will come round and index your website within a few days of it appearing without you raising a finger. You can speed it up by telling Google you’re there. Search engines have a page where you can submit the details of your site to them.

There are also techniques for telling Google (and some others) that there is new content on your site. Google offers to read an xml file called a sitemap that you can create with your new content in. Websites that we build come with that sitemap file as standard. It will ensure Google has the latest information about your site within a day or do of it appearing.

You’ll notice I haven’t referred to paying anyone to submit your details to one or more search engines. If the search engine can’t find you in the first place without prompting, I would question the effectiveness of the search engine! There is no need to pay for this service these days. Just letting Google, Yahoo and MSN LiveSearch know about you covers most bases in any case.

The writer’s goal is clarity. Vague feelings or ideas don’t have to be vaguely written…. No matter what your audience size, you ought [...]

Change opinions with your website

In the first place, many people use their websites to publish content (ideas, writing, pictures) that remains more or less static.
