Get Your Site Indexed Tips

I came across some helpful tips on how to get your site indexed in Google and other search engines quickly, while browsing through Andrew Shotland's blog, Local SEO Guide. Recently he has been helping people with their new sites, however, he has been doing this for years and these are the some of the helpful things he has picked up:

1. Navigate to the page with a Google toolbar enabled browser.
2. Email the site to a friend using gmail.
3. Mention the url using the http protocol and www on message boards w/o a link (http://www.blah.com/). Try not to be spammy.
4. Make toolbar requests to compete.com , alexa.com & quantcast.com.
5. Buy some Google Ads to your pages (this forces Google to crawl these pages to assess your quality score)

Oppose California Bill 178

As you may already know, California recently proposed bills similar to the law that recently passed in New York. This didn’t come as a surprise as it was foreseen by many and the domino pieces will probably continue to fall. However, PMA (Performance Marketing Alliance) is getting a group letter sent to Assembly Committee members responsible for evaluating Bill 178 to oppose it.

If you are a California resident with a business in the state, they need your help. CLICK HERE to add your name to the letter by going to Performance Marketing Alliance’s website. A hearing date for Bill 178 is expected to be heard on April 13, 2009. At this time, if the law does pass, it may or may not affect you. Below are links with additional information:
