How You Can Index Your Blog In Search Engines?

>This is the First question which a blogger will think after making a blog having some juicy content for the readers.
See, indexing your blog in Search Engines is very important as it will help you in spreading your blog all over the world. It is what that helps you in reaching the right audience who is wanting to enroll your hard worked content.

So, here are the ways to get your blog indexed:

Effective way of getting indexed, but requires a little effort.

Now if you are interested in getting your blog indexed then you may have sometimes heard about “submitting blog links to search engines.” Here I want to tell you that it’s an old idea. Before there were less no. of blogs so submitting a link worked and the search engines used to add the links of a new blog. But now with the increase of blog’s that function has become slow. So if you submit your blog link today then your blog will get indexed after a week or too. The period may increase to a month too.

The best way to get indexed is linking your blog to other blog which have a good reputation in front of Search Engines. You can start writing 1 or 2 articles for some good Guest Blogs so that you can link your guest post to your blog. This will then tell the Search engines that your blog is a new one which is not indexed yet and by seeing the reputation of the guest blog the Search engine crawlers will come and index your blog links.

Alternative, but still it’s an effective way to get your blog indexed.

Writing for guest blogs need some good hard work as they will accept only the best things submitted to them and you will also have to wait some days to get your article accepted by the guest blog. So, if you want an alternative way then you can start commenting on some reputed blogs. By doing this you can also get your blog indexed by the search engines as they crawls the comment links too. There are also many other benefits of blog commenting.

These 2 methods are the most famous ones at this time as it takes only a few hours to get indexed in the search engines. To check if you are indexed or not; you can either go to Google.com or Bing.com and copy paste your blog link. If you get search results of your blog then you can confirm that your blog is now indexed.

Now after you’ve got indexed you will get a general ranking in the Search Engines, i.e., if someone searches for content present in your blog then there’s no doubt that will get it in the search engines but he may not visit your blog as your competitors may be ranking higher than you. Hey I’m not telling that you’ve low quality content but you’ve to think about these. See, if your competitor has taken certain optimization steps then he will surely have a better rank then you, so you’ve to count these factors too. You’ve to take some steps in order to optimize blog reputation /ranking in search engines.

Example:-If a user searches for ‘SEO tips and tricks’ then he will get many results. And the results which he will get will only be relevant to his keyword.

So, if you want to get good ranking with that type of keyword then you’ve to perform some keyword research. You’ve to find some less competitive keywords like this. You’ve to edit your permalink as- “domain.com/20-amazing-seo-tips-and-tricks” (or something like this) in order to optimize your post with that keyword.
