Google is the biggest and most useful way to get visitors to your web site. All around the world bloggers and big internet marketers use google to promote their products. So if you have a site and want to attract a lot of visitors then you should learn these tricks to get yourself noticed by google crawlers.
Add your url and feeds to google
If you are at blogger or wordpress ( free hosted ) then your chances are much greater that your site will be added but for others you have to follow one of these to get noticed . So first step I think Is to go and add your url at http://www.google.com/addurl/ and also your feeds ie rss/atom feeds of your blog in place of sitemap. The process might take time but your url will be added eventually.
Post in do-follow forums,blogs etc
A do-follow blog is some blog that allows crawlers and spiders to pass through links posted at them. For example if you post a link at a do follow forum then the google bot while crawling to that site will also reach your site and crawl through it. So leave your signature along with url at every forum/blog you visit and be active in blogosphere. Some blog are no-follow. They won’t allow search engines to crawl through other sites as it could spoil their image.
Add meta tags
You might have seen meta-tags in html source of many web sites. These tags contains keyword for which your site will be searched and description of your page that will appear in search result. If you are not good at html here is a very good utility that will help you make your Meta tags http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/mk-metas.html . Put the resulting html inside head tag of your pages.
Keyword in title of the page
The first thing google bot notices is the title of the page so keep it short and it should contains keywords for which you want to direct the visitors to your site.
Optimize title of your posts
Nearly all search engines are h1 tag friendly so while crawling to your content they get the summary out of these tags. So make it optimized with respect to your story/blog post. It should contain all the important keyword of your post as it will be shown in title of the page and in search engine result page also. So a good post title has a good chance of attracting visitor to click on your site.
Create more and more quality and unique content
Only meta tags are not gonna explain search engines about your site and frankly speaking due to people fooling search engines with wrong keywords to attract more traffic many search engine do not rely on meta tags. Instead they go through content of the page .So write and create quality content. Use your keywords effectively in your content. But do not make your readers suffer. Believe me if you write solely for search engines then you are not gonna attain loyal readers. Be genuine and be yourself.
Add alt tags to images
For your images to come in search engine results make sure you use alt attribute in image tags. And write description about images in that attribute. Example
Remember search engine’s crawlers are no human they won’t understand what the image is about unless you explain.
Spam around Orkut/irc or other high traffic zone
This is the most weirdest thing. It can spoil your blog’s image. There are other alternatives to these which I will explain in later posts.
But let me share with you my experience. I was running a blog with my friend . The problem was that all its pages were not coming in google’s index. But one day my friend spammed around in orkut community in front of lacs of visitors. Some people were irritated due to this. But the next day I saw in my blog stats. Along with visitors many Google bots also crawled and all the pages were there in google’s index. So it did work . And now google find it easy to crawl through that site :) . But still I won’t commit that again .
Above were some of the tips that I found after lot of research. They will just make sure that you get into search engines and people can find you from any part of the world. For high rankings in search engines.http://techasad.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-get-yout-pages-in-google-index.html
