SEO Tips: Using Sitemaps To Improve Google, Yahoo, and Bing Page Indexing

What are sitemaps?

Sitemaps inform search engines about pages on websites that are available for crawling. A sitemap is an XML file that contains URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL. This helps search engines crawl a site more intelligently.

You can create sitemaps thru an online sitemap generator like the one offered by xml-sitemaps.com. You just have to enter your site's URL, set the change frequency, last modification, and priority settings.

After this you can download the generated XML file. Upload this file to the root folder of your website and update your site's robots.txt file to include the following text:

"Sitemap:http://www.your-site-name.com/sitemap.xml"

If you don't have a robots.txt file, create one in your site's root folder.

Next is sitemap submission which will be discussed in my next post.

Ciao!

SEO Tip: Use the Blog and Ping Technique for Faster Blog Publishing and Indexing

"In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated. An XML-RPC signal is sent to one or more ping servers, which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material."

Source: Wikipedia

In layman's terms, blog pinging notifies all major blog directories in one go so that everyone knows about your latest or recently updated blogs. It saves you the time of having to do each site manually.

The Blog and Ping technique is an often overlooked SEO technique. Pinging notifies a number of services that keep track of weblogs and publish them. By pinging, you let the services know that your blog has been updated. This increases your blog's popularity and helps blog search engines crawl and index your site properly.

Here's a list of auto-pinger sites:

1. PingOMatic.com
2. PingMyBlog.com
3. FeedPing.com
4. AutoPinger.com
5. FeedShark.com
6. Pingler.com

Search Engine Optimization Services

Search Engine Optimization

SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization" or "search engine optimizer." SEO is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.

Deciding to hire an SEO professional is a big decision that can potentially improve your site and save time, but you can also risk damage to your website and online reputation. Make sure to research the potential advantages as well as the damage that an irresponsible SEO firm or freelancer can do to your site.

Many SEO companies and consultants provide useful services for website owners, including:

* Review of your website content, navigational elements, and linking structure
* Technical advice on website development: for example, web hosting, page redirects, error pages, use of CSS and JavaScript
* Content development
* Management of online business development campaigns
* Keyword research and keyword competitor analysis
* SEO training
* Expertise in niche markets and geographies.


Keep in mind that the Google search results page includes organic search results and often paid advertisement (denoted by the heading "Sponsored Links") as well.

If you're thinking about hiring an SEO Expert / SEO Consultant, the earlier the better. A great time to hire is when you're considering a site redesign, or planning to launch a new site. That way, you and your SEO can ensure that your site is designed to be search engine-friendly from the bottom up. However, a good SEO can also help improve an existing site. Outrank your competitors now thru 1st page rankings of your target keywords and get more sales and conversions by hiring an SEO Expert.

Google and the other major search engines change their keyword ranking algorithms from time to time. What you think will work for your website's SEO may not work tomorrow or the next month. With Google's Panda updates, a lot of websites were penalized and disappeared from Google's top search result pages. Because of low quality and duplicate content detected on these websites, these sites were penalized and their keyword rankings dropped.

You will need a Google SEO Expert that studies these algorithm changes and adapt these changes to succeeding SEO campaigns in order to comply with the Google Panda site quality requirements.
