This is part three of a series I’m doing to fulfill my promise to the attendees of the Grow Smart Business conference who attended the session I was a panelist on: “Stories, Content, & the Search Engine Sword Over Your Head.”
The following is a list of links I advise beginners to visit once they are thinking of building a site or preparing to submit.
- Read Google Webmaster Guidelines
- Use Google Webmaster Tools
- Google’s Webmaster Central Help section
- Tools for Generating XML Sitemaps for static & dynamic sites & the general information site for XML Sitemaps
- Plugins for Generating XML Sitemaps for WordPress blogs
- Use Google Analytics
- Google’s Free Conversion University
- Google AdWords (Advertise on Google for a fee), Google AdWords for TV, AdWords Beginner’s Guide, Google’s Seminars for Success (fee based), Google AdWords Small Business Center
- Videos I created about using the Google info: search parameter to find out what Google Knows about Your Site
[Google Site Information Page Part One|Google Site Information Page Part Two] - Use Yahoo Site Explorer [Help page|Introduction]
- Submit to Google Local via Google Business Center (now known as Google Places
- Google Places Help Section
- 30 Day Free Google Tags Advertising for Google Places users
- Submit to Google Web Search via the regular submit form
- Submit to Google News, Google News Sitemaps Help, Google News Help
- Three Part Series I Wrote on Other Ways to Get Into Google News, and Why You’d Want to Do So
- Submit to Google Blog Search
- Submit to Bing
- Submit to Bing Local
- Submit to Yahoo Directory
- Directory of Google’s blogs, Google’s main blog, Google’s Webmaster Central Blog
- Directory of Google Twitter accounts
- Yahoo’s Search Blog
- Bing’s Blog
- Bing Webmaster Toolbox (submit XML Sitemaps here)
- Google Insights for Search
- Google Trends, Google Trends for Websites
- Report Spam to Google
- File a DCMA Notice if someone reprints your content on the web w/o permission Google | Bing
…preferably before you build your site, at least before you submit
(See also their Quick Start Guide)
Some important sections – Submitting an XML Site Map, News or Mobile Site Map, Creating & Submitting a Video Site Map
[also mobile, news, image, video for WP blogs]
…to measure your search traffic and track whether it’s converting
…. to see what pages people are linking to. Neat because you can analyze links to a single page or the whole site.
(I believe this is the slowest, least thorough method, but it’s better to do this than nothing.)
(Yahoo’s search engine results are now pulled from Bing too)
(Not available in the Chrome Browser)
