Get Indexed Quickly on Search Engines!

April 14th, 2009


Heard of search engine spiders?  These are automated scrips that visit pages and copy the source codes for later processing and indexing by search engines.  They don’t always enter a site from the home page.  In fact, every page is a possible entry from across search engines.  With this being said, here are some important strategies to make sure every page on your website is being crawled by these search engine spiders:

1. Each page should have a link to an HTML or XML sitemap.

2. Links have priority over text in the body of a page.  Sidebar text and links are given less priority compared to the main body content.

3. Instead of manual submissions, it’s best to get pages crawled.  Use inbound and outbound links and get listed in directories.

4. Keep page sizes under 100 KB.  MSN live and Ask will not index body text above 102 KB.

5. Put header tags and content near the top of the site pages.

6. Use CSS to feed the spiders links, text and images strategically.  List your text link navigation and keyword rich text at the top of your source codes.

Remember the search engine spiders crawl behind the scenes of your website and only see the text and code in the rendered pages!  Start thinking like a search engine spider!
