Increase the Crawling for SEO

In search engine optimisation the key is to get your web page in the rankings to allow consumers to find you.  There are many methods for doing this.  In fact we could sit here and write tons about each one of the methods regarding SEO techniques.  Instead we are looking at one specific aspect of increasing your page rank in order to get your site to be found.

Many website producers wonder how they can increase the frequency of spiders moving through their sites.  The good news is there are methods.  Google is the top search engine at the moment, and many of the SEO methods have been developed by them.  This means you should concentrate on Google over other search engines right now.  Google has tools that will help you force a spider to your site.

First on the list is the Google Webmasters Tools.  The tool will help you find out how your site is performing.  You can see what pages are unable to be crawled and then change how the site is set up.  For example if your homepage can’t be crawled you have a problem and it should be fixed.  This will help get Google bots to your site.

You can then adjust the crawl speed of the site.  In other words, if you want the site to be crawled with more frequency log in to the tools mentioned above and increase the amount.

Another option is to create new content more often.  By updating your site you are able to get the interest of the Google spiders.  Often a good way to do this is by posting a blog.  A blog is new content, therefore the spider tends to find it and search around for more things.

Your blog may not be doing you justice simply because it is not being cached.  If your blog is being slowly posted you can go to blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 and help get Google’s interest.

When you created the site you might also have used an HTML sitemap.  This is a good thing to do, but consider adding an XML sitemap also.  There are advantages to having both formats on the site, especially when you want Google to tread more frequently into your area.

By following these suggestions you can entertain higher rankings and more frequent searches by Google.  Thus you can increase your traffic to the site and revenue.
