How To Get Your Site Indexed

MSN offers you two different ways to get your site indexed, and you should submit to both.

However, before you do that, make sure that you have optimised your website first.

You can get more information on optimising your site for MSN, as well as tips on search engine optimisation, here:

The tips that you will find here basically apply to optimising your site for any search engine, but they are definitely worth the read so that you focus your search engine optimisation efforts in a way that will get your site indexed.

As I mentioned before, there are two ways to get indexed by MSN. The first involves submitting to the Intomi index. The Intomi index actually powers the MSN search.

Inktomi is now also part of Yahoo. However, you should still submit your site here. This will allow you to get indexed by hundreds of sites if your site is accepted. http://submitit.bcentral.com/msnsubmit.htm

You will need to use a valid email address for your site. Make sure that you use an email account that you actually use so that if there is a problem, you can promptly fix it. You may also need to confirm your submission.

Keep in mind that there are no guarantees on turnaround, and there are also no guarantees that your site will be accepted.

The second part of submitting to MSN is actually submitting to the MSN spider. This is the number two website on the internet. It gets an enormous amount of traffic, and the traffic that this site brings you can help you with both your rankings, as well as being found by searchers.

If your submission is successful, you will see a message that tells you your submission is successful and will ask you if you want to submit another site. Once you have MSN crawling your site, you shouldn't have to resubmit. If you follow these steps carefully, you should have no trouble getting your site accepted.

But remember the golden rules - create great content, build links back to your site, and target the correct keywords - and you can get very high rankings.

HOW TO GET HIGH RANKINGS IN GOOGLE

Most webmasters know that Google has one of the most powerful search engines on the web.

Each day the Google bot sifts through billions of pages of data. Because of this, it should be obvious that getting a high ranking in Google can bring your site a lot of success. At the same time, it is important to understand that there are a number of factors involved with getting top rankings in Google. Believe or not, one of the best ways you can do this is by getting a large number of links.

However, being successful with Google involves more than just getting a large number of links. You will also want to use anchor links. To use an anchor link, you will want to take an important keyword and turn it into a hyperlink. Another thing you will want to decide is the type of keywords you want to use. Many webmasters make the mistake of only picking one keyword or phrase. They may sometimes use phrases or keywords which are not relevant to their sites. Even though this will bring you traffic, will the visitors find what they are looking for? If not, they will go someplace else, and all of your efforts will be fruitless.

It is important to only use targeted keywords which match the theme of your website. Webmasters who use general keywords will have a hard time reaching the top of the search engine results. The key to successfully optimizing your site for Google is to use targeted keywords. The first thing you will want to do is get a list of keywords. Once you've done this, you will want to find out which words are used the most. There are a number of tools online which can help you effectively do this. Once you've studied the list, pick the keywords which will bring your site the best results. After this you will want to concentrate on building a successful link campaign.

When you build links for your site, try to get one-way or reciprocal links from sites which have high rankings. If you get links from sites which have high rankings, your site will gain high rankings as well.
