SEO Tips: Use microblogging sites for fast indexing of new sites and pages

I've noticed that microblogging sites help in quick indexing of new sites or web pages. Sites like Twitter and FriendFeed are examples of microblogging sites. These sites are authority and high PR sites.

Google prioritizes high PR and authority sites when indexing pages. Indexing starts from PR10 down to PR0 sites. If your site's link is visible in a high PR site, chances are your site's link will be crawled by a spider faster than other sites not linked to the high PR site.

I tested and confirmed this SEO technique when I was trying out a microblogging site. I posted a link to my site on this microblogging site and checked Google from time to time. My Google indexing time took 15 minutes only and my site's keyword rankings improved.

I believe that if you mix microblogging and social bookmarking sites as one of your link building techniques, then you will have a quick Google indexing time plus gain more traffic and one-way links.

SEO Tip: Online Reputation Management Tips

Online Reputation Management according to WikiPedia:

"is the practice of consistent research and analysis of one’s personal or professional, business or industry reputation as represented by the content across all types of online media.he goal is to have people speak about your brand in a positive sense by achieving, maintaining and improving a positive online sentiment about it.

Being mentioned in social media can be a threat if not dealt with correctly, but can also generate great benefits if used the right way. It’s all about buzz and sentiment, and how you manage it."

Online Reputation Management or ORM, (* Brand Reputation Management or BRM in UK) requires more targeted optimization since the goal is to remove negative URLs from the top 1-2 pages of Google result pages.

Here are my tips for ORM:

1. Check if the website pointed to by the URL of the negative article or post has a free article submission link. Create and publish an positive and informative article regarding the ORMed website on this article website. This gives positive feedback to the ORMed website. Add links to the article that point to the ORMed website. Perform off-page optimization / link submissions that point to this article.

2. Push the lower ranked URLs higher by performing link submissions that point to these lower ranked URLs. You are in fact performing SEO for the positive URLs. This will take much of your time since you have several links (about two pages but depends on how far back from Google search results you want the offending links listed) to push higher in Google search results.

3. Use microblogging and social bookmarking sites to push the positive links higher. These sites are indexed faster by major search engines and you will see immediate results in less than an hour.

There are several websites that have more detailed info about Online Reputation Management. You just have to Google it.

Heads Up! Google has Updated Site PageRanks!

Wow! This blogsite's PageRank is Three (3) only after three months of light link building. Google has updated PageRanks (PR). These PR updates probably started yesterday, April 3, 2010.

PageRank, according to a reliable source (Wikipedia):
"is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set."

Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Net. PageRank or PR denotes a site’s importance in the eyes of Google.

Since I started with a PR Zero three months ago and now my site is PR Three, my PR advanced three levels. This is a big accomplishment considering my top Google competitors are SEO Experts from India and the Philippines plus my link submissions were not constant and daily.

Maybe I made the right website submissions or maybe I hit the Google jackpot. =)

Anyway, just a Heads Up, Google has updated website PRs.
