Top 5 Ways To Get Your Site Listed In Google - Fast

Fabian Tan

What are the most effective ways to get your site listed in Google quickly? Let's look at the top 7 ways to attract Google to your site:

Posting in authority forums - Forums often have a high Page Rank, which is crucial for ranking well in the search engines. Be sure to include your website's link in your signature. Don't spam the forums as you'll get kicked out quickly. Post useful content so forum posters will reply to your topic, keeping your topic high up on the page.

Create a blog - Blog sites like Wordpress and Blogger are regarded as authority sites by Google. By creating backlinks in a blog, you can get indexed by Google pretty quickly. You can also post relevant comments on other blogs and recommend your site in the process.

Use social bookmarking/networking sites - Again, make use of authority sites to increase your site's Page Rank. Post useful content at your MySpace blog and include a backlink to your website. Sites like Digg.com are also great for getting quick, quality backlinks for fast indexing.

Squidoo - Squidoo is a blogging platform on steroids. In recent times, Squidoo sites are getting great listings on the search engines. It's a little harder to set up a Squidoo site than it is to set up a blog, but the effort will pay off in spades.

Write articles - Articles are 'viral traffic generators' because they are often syndicated by content publishers when they are posted up at article directories. Use them to build useful backlinks. The more articles you write, the more backlinks you get.
