Optimize your Website for Google

There are things that you can do to help your website get a better ranking with search engines like Google before you even begin to advertise. The following five steps are probably the most important to consider. Google is not very particular about fancy grapics and colors you use, or about the exact words used to describe your messages to your audience. However the bots do want you to show relevancy in topics through your website.

Step 1:
You should almost definitaly design your website in CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, which are basically just written instructions for how the site is presented to your visitors. Not only do Google, and other search bot style engines adore CSS, but once you are used to using it you will as well, since it allows you to update the text appearance of your entire site with very little effort.

Step 2:
Keep your site design pretty simple. You really will not impress most visitors with super fancy designs and flashy videos. On Google's side these are computerized visitors, not human traffic. Many people feel that audio or video that play' s when you open a page is annoying. Get their attention first, then show off the fun stuff.

Step 3:
Meta Tags should definitely be used, but don't rely on them to raise your page rank. Meta tags aren't used all that much anymore. Google mainly uses Meta Tags, such as your Title, Description, and Keyword tags to correctly index your site and put it in the right category.

Step 4:
Don't use giant files that take forever to load. Using big files on your site will slow it down and cause both the robots and your precious traffic to leave before ever seeing your product or message. There are many ways to optimize your images and compress all of your files, so make sure you give the visitor a quick and easily download able page.

Step 5:
Check your links often. The Google bots are advanced technology, but they won't know what to do if they find a broken link or can't find their way off of your home page. Their only option is to leave, and you want your entire site indexed not just your landing page. Use text links and avoid JavaScript when creating your navigation and make sure you provide the search spiders with a Site Map.

Getting Google to Visit your Website

There are a few things that you can do to enhance Google’s interest your site so that they decide to index it faster and present you to the public whenever a search is conducted. You might be suprised to learn that not everyone is indexed after they submit their URL to the search engines and directories. All you have to do is follow these steps and you will be 99.99999% certain that your website will NOT be missed.

Step 1:
First of all, you have to submit your URL to Google itself. Remember the Google bots crawl the web on a constant basis, but don’t expect them to find your website without effort. You have to add lots of good articles and information if you have any hope of making it into the index.

Step 2:
Your second tip, start blogging. Blogging is VERY popular right now. Google owns blogger.com, so starting your blog out there is a very good idea. Then after each post simply link back to your website. This ensures the bots will pick up on you much faster.

Step 3:
Your third tip, Do NOT make the mistake of setting up a hundred sites all at once and then linking them to one another. Google knows all about this trick, and they will put every one of your 12 sites in the sandbox, this is BAD, until they return three months later to check and see if you were serious about launching all those relevant sites or if you were creating what they call 'mirror' sites just to make one of your websites seem important.

Step 4:
You can also write free well written articles that others will use on their own websites. When Google updates their sites, the bots will automatically follow the link from the article to your website. Plus, you will get a nod for having an incoming link.
