Many
people rely on their website as their number one form
of income for their business. These days there are
thousands of businesses that either do not have a
brick and mortar location, or no actual offices where
customers visit. How is this possible? Website's today
have entirely changed the way that businesses operate.
From online products to gifts to properties and far
beyond, you can find it available on the internet.
The problem that many people do not realize when
creating a website is that your site needs to be able
to be found by other people in order for your website
to begin making money. For example, if you create
a website, no matter how well designed and coded,
if you do not do some basic things, you may never
receive one sale, or even one visit!
Once you have a nicely designed website that is error
free, which you can validate here:
Validate
Your HTML
Make sure that you submit your website to as many
search engines as possible. The more, the better!
Google, AOL, MSN, Altavista, Excite, Overture, etc.,
etc., etc.!
Submit
Your Website to Popular Search Engines
Of course, submitting your website
to all the search engines there are, isn't going to
quite help you make the cut when you are in the running
with the big boys! One of the most important and sometimes
quite difficult processes in getting your website
where it should be, is backlinking. What in the world
is backlinking?! For years there have been hundreds
or even thousands of companies that have taken part
in banner exchanges, link exchanges, and several other
forms of ways of exchanging website information. The
best practice of this is to try to get your website
on as many website's as possible. However, you do
not want to exchange links or put your link on just
any website. Stay far far far away from FFA and Link
Farms. These sites are very evil and can hurt your
website many times more than a good quality link can
help your site. Try to find website's that are directly
related to your product, service, interest, business,
etc. For example, say you are a painter of abstract
art. Good quality links could come from website's
about abstract art, fine art, painting supplies, art
history, etc.! However, exchanging links with a pharmacy
or casino is not related and not necessarily going
to boost how well you rank among other sites of similar
themes. The more unrelated website's that you link
with, the more you may confuse search engines (after
all, they aren't even human, and humans are easily
enough confused so watch out!). There is only one
magical tool that we know of that will help you in
this process very easily is:

-
Create proper sitemaps of the highest quality
and accuracy with push-button ease.
-
Unique and powerful web spider crawls your
entire site beforehand, making absolutely
certain there are no "dead ends"
where search engine crawlers can get stuck in
a loop
-
Full and accurate page count guarantees
that all links on your website can be followed
- if the built-in spider count matches the number
of pages on your site, you know that all your
pages are accessible.
-
Shows you all the pages AND the page titles
- a quick scan of the list tells you right
away whether or not any pages are missing
- allows you to simply upload the ones that
are missing (rather than having to upload all
the pages because you don't know which ones
you missed the first time around)
-
An accurate list of URLs and page titles makes
it easy to scan the list (either during or after
the spidering) in order to quickly locate
any missing or generic page titles - so
you can replace them with the kind of keyword
rich titles the search engines love.
-
Advanced readout lets you see at a glance
if any meta keyword and description tags have
been left out - (prevents pages from being
listed with blank or non-existent meta tags).
-
Quickly and easily scan through your URLs in
order to locate any parameters that will
make Google totally ignore them (based on
Google's own guidelines).
-
Gives you the ability to scan for domain name
consistency - since proper sitemaps must pertain
to only one subdomain, this also helps prevent
possible duplicate content problems in the
search engines.

Shows you exactly which of your pages are
indexed by Google and which ones are not.
-
Simple refresh lets you know right away
when the sitemap you submit to Google kicks
in.

Gives you a simple and convenient means
for managing item priority and change frequency
on your Google sitemap.
-
Lets you SAVE your project so you can open
it at a later date - if you take the time

all over every time you add pages

XML sitemap format.

plain text sitemap feed format.
-
Allows you to output your sitemap to a static
html template which you can upload as part of
your site to ensure that all crawlers have
a valid path to all your pages.
"Even though Google has *generously*
provided webmasters with a fast, efficient, and relatively
foolproof method of submitting their web pages, the
entire process leaves a lot to be desired... especially
when it comes to making sure that any sitemap you
create is EXACTLY what Google wants.
