Indexing A Site Will Flip It Faster
Indexing a site makes it far easier for search engines to crawl and assign ranking for posts and the web site too. When a search engine can locate and index a page more easily, it has far more exposure on the Internet and people find it more easily.
Fortunately, WordPress has a great ability to do that all by itself, without any effort from you. Using the All-in-one-SEO pack also simplifies the indexing of the posts so that it is a very quick process. But, SEO and WordPress aren’t the only way to get your site indexed. There are other ways to do this so that you get a boost from multiple indexing strategies, instead of using just one. Here we’ll go over several different ways to get your site indexed by the major search engines, aside from using SEO and WordPress.
Craigslist.com
This site started off as a simple way for people to trade and sell things online in one city. It was basically a bulletin board for all kinds of classified ads. It became so popular, that now it is worldwide and the traffic it gets every day is quite astounding. What’s nice about Craigslist, sometimes referred to as the world’s largest garage sale, is that it is separated into geographical regions, but you have access to all the cities, if you like. So, if you were moving from one area to another and wanted to find a place to stay, you might go to that city in Craigslist and peruse the “rooms to share” area.
Since it has gotten so large, the search engines do like to index the posts there too and it makes a great, and free, way to advertise your web sites. You will have to get an account to post in the classified ads section, but that’s free too.
One thing you don’t want to do is add your classified ad to multiple cities by cutting and pasting it everywhere in Craigslist. The staff of Craigslist takes a dim view of this practice and can get you banned. So, stick to your own city to advertise you web site and be happy with that. Since you are doing it to just get indexed better, this will be sufficient.
To start, you want to go the link that says, “Post to classifieds.” Then, in the submenu offered, you want to select: “Service offered.” For the category, choose “Small Biz Ads.” It will let you put up a post to describe your web site and what’s of interest to other people. Make sure to include the URL in the description so that the search engine spider crawls from Craigslist to your site. Now, submit the classified ad, and you’re done! It may not seem obvious, but we promise this will help your indexing efforts tremendously.
