How to get more of your site’s pages listed in Google, faster!

I hope your summer has been both fun and profitable!

I’ve been busy with the farm, but also with testing new tools (both free and paid) over the summer and I’ll let you in on these promotional shortcuts and my test results throughout the coming weeks.

But quickly today I want to tell you about the hot new way to get more of your content listed in google quicker than clicking an Add Url Button…

It doesn’t cost a cent, just a few minutes of your time.

This technique is a ‘spin off’ of sneaking in the back door of yahoo without the $299 inclusion fee.

Only this time, it’s google we’re after!

I’m sure you know that google doesn’t charge for inclusion, but it can take 4-6 weeks to get google to visit a new site or index new pages on an existing site.

This technique cuts that time down to 3-4 days!

Even if your site is already listed in google, take 5 minutes and set this up anyway. This will ensure that google crawls your site more often and indexes your new pages and posts faster.

And, this technique also works for websites that aren’t running RSS Feeds or blogs…I’ll show you how.

Scoot over to http://www.smartzville.com/google-homepage.htm to catch the lesson and implement this right away.

* revisited and edited in January 2007 * this technique is still one of my favorite techniques when launching new sites. It’s fast and free – what more could a marketer ask for?

Laura

p.s. If you’re looking for something to make your blog ‘look’ spiffier to your website visitors you have to check out all the free WordPress templates here: http://themes.wordpress.net/theme-viewer.php

But please remember that the search engines don’t reallly care how pretty your blog is, they want to see optimized content and tags before they give you high marks!

Two RSS tools hit the market in June.

One is still going strong. The software is consistently being improved and updated.

The other was promoted by three top marketers, and then seemingly disappeared from view.

And at first blush these two looked the same…

They both scanned online RSS NewsFeeds and posted them to your blog. The outcome is an active, regularly updated blog without a daily time investment on your part.

Does it work?

The answer, whether you have a blog or not, is a definate YES. (If you don’t have a blog in your area of expertise then set one up on blogger and let the tool run on auto pilot – at the least you’ll gain off-site link points from the search engines.)

The program I’m talking about, that is still available and still the top RSS tool in my books, is RSStoBlog.

RSStoBlog runs on your server. While you rest, work, or take a vacation, without using up your desktop resources.

I’ll write more on this program in a few days, and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have (just drop me back a note), but if you’re in a hurry you can learn more about the program here: http://www.smartzville.com/automate.htm

Without a doubt WordPress is the software of choice for serious bloggers, but until you get working with it, it could seem confusing.

Here’s help…

The success in using WordPress for website traffic and sales comes with a price – the learning curve!

Watch this series of over 20 free videos right now to get started.

There will be more videos – on more intemediate and advanced topics – within a few weeks.

Don’t hesitate to prepare in advance by seeing this first set free now…

And cut that steep learning curve down to a small incline that leads to success.

There have been a flurry of emails this week over a new program that “Gets You in Google’s Backdoor”

Hmmm, I don’t know about you and your website, but Google has never been a tough search engine to get indexed in from my perspective – and you shouldn’t need a $100 or $200 piece of software to pull it off either!

The rant is on about Google’s new XML sitemap technology.

Google is not hiding this from us as some ‘only the elite are invited’ entrance door. The steps and technology are clearly defined on google’s site.

And the software that’s being promoted may help, but there are a number of free tools available online that promise the same thing!

To see a list of the free tools or learn more about getting into Google easily, in 10 days, without any coding or techno-babble, click over to:

Have you sent me your rss feed link?

If you do, I’ll be happy to keep an eye on it for you.

I know that running an online business, keeping up with all the trends, and be a cutting-edge innovator in your field is next to impossible.

There just aren’t enough hours in a day.

But I need to give you a head’s up on this…RSS is moving mainstream and the window for small-to-medium sized business or niche
marketers is still wide open as this happens.

Here’s where we go mainstream, and you become a cutting-edge innovator…

“Google is now in beta phase with their Adsense in RSS program.”

If that’s all geek speak to you I apologize.

In English:

1. You add an item to your RSS Feed.
2. Google serves up an advertisement to match your content.
3. If a reader clicks the ad, you make money.

Want to know more?

Click the link.

You’ll get a taste of what’s to come as well as a brain-dump of “To Adsense or Not Adsense”.

Drop me a line on the site if you want to talk more about this. And by all means send me your feed link if I don’t already have it!

Yours in Success!

p.s. One of the things that working with Dr. Joe Vitale has taught me is that the early adopters establish themselves in their chosen market with less struggle and clawing to get to the top in their market. I’ll continue to keep you posted on relevant RSS News as it hits the presses.

In the past this information has been saved for Stampede Secret clients, but it’s time to let the cat out of the bag!

This software officially launched in 2004 and makes RSS Feed creation and updates a snap.

If you’re following another marketing plan and haven’t heard of this software yet, you’re:

a) wasting precious time,
b) not reaping the full benefits of RSS, and
c) possibly driving yourself crazy working in raw code.

Save your time, reap the benefits and update your feed on a more frequent basis – effortlessly and quickly.

If you can type a few lines of text and supply the url, this software does all the rest! Including transferring your updated RSS Feed to your website!

I can’t recommend this enough. We have a fully functional, 30 day, trial version on our servers just for you.

Download it right here and see for yourself how easy RSS Feeds can be:

RSS Feed Creation Software

Thanks for reading and enjoy the software!

Laura Childs

I am amazed at how fast the technology and services for RSS feeds and blogs are changing!

In the member’s area we have a directory with all the newly tested software, services and tactics on:

- RSS creation,
- RSS delivery,
- RSS submission, and
- RSS and website strategies.

It’s all I can do to refresh and keep that area up to date!

For instance, the submissions page just had a shake down. No longer do our customers need to spend hours submitting their RSS feed urls to directories by hand.

We’ve provided software (selling elsewhere for $27-$47) that handles all your RSS feed submissions for you.

During the shake-down of the manual submissions, a few website directories were found to be be moving really quickly in the RSS field. One was *omited*.com*.

If already have a feed (whether user defined or as the result of blogging) I strongly suggest you submit it there!

I’ll be there in about an hour submitting our subscriber’s feeds as a courtesy – with their permission of course.

I’ll see you there and at the top of the search engines!

P.S. How about you? Are you receiving updates as they happen in the RSS world or are you gleaning information from stale web pages that haven’t been updated in a while?

* 2007 edit: The dot.com mentioned above is no longer in service. Shortly after launch it jumped 2 google page ranks and ran for a few years with many users in the industry raving about it!
