Your Permalinks Needs to be Changed

If you just installed your wordpress blog, you would notice that the first post page would have a URL of http://www.blogsnd.com/?p=1 and the 1 shows that that is the first post. This URL is called permalinks. If you have this type of URL, it is advisable to change it because

1. Hard to Show on Search Engine : – It is much more harder for search engine to show this type of URL on their because your keyword is not there. Your keyword can be any word. With this type of permalink, search engines have to search through URLs that has 1 in it. But with your keywords, search engines can rank you on their search just based on your permalinks. I have arrived at websites just through the post permalink.

2. Hard to Remember :- I can look at a title of a post and guess what the permalink is. I would only be wrong if the owner decides to shorten the URL.

How to Change the Permalink On WordPress

To change your wordpress permalink, login to Admin Control Panel –> Permalinks.

I choose Month and Year i.e. /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/. (You can copy and paste this in the custom box)

Some people use just /%postname%/. The would make your post to be http://www.yourblog.com/postname instead. People argue that this is good because search engines don’t have to go through something else i.e. date or category to index that webpage.

I choose the Month and Year because of blogger. Google owns blogger so it would have to make it SEO friendly. On blogger, the permalink is done by blogger. The permalink is /2009/01/postname.

The Pings Services that Got Me Indexed

I wrote a post that I said I got indexed in Google in 20 minutes after publishing the post. I used ping services. Ping services is a way by which your blog tells servers that you have made a new post. This would help to keep your blog fresh on search engines. The Ping services I used were

To insert these on your wordpress blog, go to your Your Control Panel –> Settings –> Writing . Then scroll down. In the update services text box, copy and past the Ping services.

Allow Ask and Cuil to See Your Blog

Apart from Google, Yahoo and MSN live search, there are other search engines. These other search engines won’t drive a lot of traffic to your site, but it is still good if you submit your site to them. The other search engines are Cuil and Ask.

Submitting Your Blog to Cuil

Cuil is faily new search engine. It came out in August 2008. The owners plan is to out-rank Google as the top most search engine. Cuil boasts of more than 100 billion web pages it has indexed. I haven’t read about anyone saying she/she got traffic from Cuil to their blog.

To submit to Cuil, go to Submit Site. On the webpage, you have 2 textbox: Your Email and site URL box. In the Your Email box, entering your email is optional. In the Site URL, you will enter your site URL for submission. After submitting, you will see a message on a page saying “Your message has been sent. Thanks for writing us.”

Submitting Your Blog to Ask

I can only find how to submit your sitemap to Ask. I got the information from Ask: webmasters. These are the instructions given to submit your sitemap.

SITEMAP: http://www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml

The sitemap location should be the full sitemap URL. Alternatively, you can also submit your sitemap through the ping URL:

http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A//www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml

If done correctly, you would see this message

Your Sitemap submission was successful

Your Sitemap has been successfully received and added to our Sitemap queue.
Thank you for your submission!

Get Google to Know Your Blog

If you are reading this blog, this means that you know about Google search. In the blogosphere, most bloggers refer to Google as the best search engine to get traffic from SEO.

How can You get Google to index Your site Quickly? That is easy, it is done in two ways:

1. Submit Your URL to Google – When submitting, use the full URL — in my case I would submit https://www.gr1innovations.com

In the content form, write the description of your site. The description is the summary of your site. You should put your keywords in the description. I wrote “Blog with Make Money Online skill”. From the text written on the page, Google doesn’t guarantee that every site would be indexed. Don’t be worried, I think Google indexes every blog. The sites not indexed should be gambling, adult or harmful sites.

2. Include a Sitemap of Your Blog – A sitemap shows the organization of the pages on your blog on a web page. It helps search engine bots and people to navigate your site easily. You can have a look at my sitemap. To make your site map, you can go to sitemap generator to make your sitemap. It is free for up to 500 pages. If your blog is hosted on wordpress, you can use a plugin to generate your sitemap. I use the Google XML Sitemap Plugin. Follow the instructions on the installation tab to install the plugin. Then login into Google Webmaster (you need to have a Google account, it is free). Add your blog’s URL at the form where you see Add Site. Then click on sitemap and submit your sitemap. Submitting your sitemap also helps Google to show you how it sees your blog. You can see the keywords people searched for on Google’s search engine that brought them to your site.

My Blog was Indexed in Google in 20 Minutes

When I finished writing the previous post, Can Get Paid to Click Make You Money Online, I decided to check the status of my site on Google. I used the full URL of my blog “http://www.blogsnd.com” to search on Google. To my surprise, the post I wrote like 30 mins ago was there on Google Search.

I was happy because it means Google bot is accessing my site quickly. From the time I published the post, to the time I saw the post on Google was like in 20 minutes. In the picture, it is showing 16 mins. That means that Google got the post 16 minutes ago. I decided to do a search for my blog’s URL without the http:// and the www. and it didn’t the post, can get paid to click make you money.

I was able to get Google’s bot because I pinged my post. I am using wordpress to run this blog. So after writing any post, wordpress automatically pings my site to  ping sites.

From this experience, I can say using pings would get your site indexed fast on search engine. But having no backlinks with your keywords wouldn’t get you anywhere on search engine.
