How fast do you think you can get your brand new blog or website indexed by Google?

Well, the accepted method by those who really have no idea what they are doing is to submit your new blog or website to the search engines and wait for them to index you. How long do you think that will take? Well don’t hold your breath. This is the best way to get your site sand-boxed for anything up to six months so don’t even think about doing this unless you have a lot of patience…

A more savvy website or blog owner will probably tell you to write an article about your niche and submit it to Ezine Articles. Well, that can work pretty well and get you indexed in less than a week as well as giving your site a nice PR6 one-way back-link.

But what if I told you there was a much quicker way of getting a brand spanking new blog or website indexed much faster than that. How quick do you think I could get one indexed?

A few days?

Within a day?

A few hours?

Hehe… how about a few minutes - and top of page 1 in Google for the search term?

Oh dear. Now you’ve got to go get a cloth and mop up the beer you just spat out and choked on when you read that. I know what you’re going to say.

“Do you think I’m an idiot? No one can get a brand new site indexed that fast! And as for getting it to the top of page one, forget it!”

Wanna bet?

I can. In fact I did it earlier with my brand new, un-indexed blog, Work at Home. It took me about five minutes. I wrote a post and before I’d finished proof reading it, it was catapulted to the top of the Google search results page for the keywords I selected. That’s Google.com, by the way, not Google in outer Mongolia!

I know of several other bloggers who are dong it too. Yesterday they had a contest to see who could get to the top the fastest for a particular search term. Within minutes they held the top ten places!

So you’re probably thinking, “This guy’s dreaming or that’s some damn good beer he’s drinking!” Well, it’s all true (it’s a bit early for a beer, anyway). Would you like me to tell you how I did it?

Simple when you know how.

Google (and every other search engine) relies on its being able to produce accurate and informative and relevant web page results for the surfers who use its search index. That’s how it got to be the number one search engine. It wants to stay that way, too. So in order to bring you relevant and accurate information, it needs relevant web pages to fulfill the search terms it receives. And that’s where you can make your killing.

The blog post that got my blog indexed earlier was entitled: “Can I Work at Home for Mony“, but before I even wrote it, I gave Google a reason to index it. I did a search on that exact same term, “can I work at home for mony” first and was delighted to see that it brought up zero results. I then set about writing my post, then I published it and pinged Google. Then I waited a couple of minutes, refreshed the Google search panel and BINGO! There was my page top of page1 for that search term.

Ok, it was the ONLY result for the search term “can I work at home for mony” and I don’t suppose too many people will be searching on it anytime soon - the spelling mistake makes it rather unique - but the magic part is that it got not only the post indexed within a few minutes, but the whole site as well!

What happened was that by my doing a search on the term can I work at home for mony, Google flagged it as a request that needs some results, so when it found no matches, it set a flag to watch out for any new web pages that may be created relevant to that search term in the future and as soon as it finds them, to index them so they’ll be there the next time someone does a search on that term, in order to provide it’s service to its clients - you and me!

By fulfilling it’s newly created need for a page relevant to that search term, I simply pinged Google to let it know that a relevant page now exists. It sent its bot to spider that page immediately and upon satisfying itself that the page was relevant to the search term, indexed it on the spot.

Now, if anyone can beat that, I’d sure like to hear of it!

By the way, if you’re wondering of this post will get placed on that search results page - yes it will as the keywords “can I work at home for mony” appear on this page a few times. It would get on there faster if I included that term in the title and also in a header within the body of the text as well, but I don’t think it’s necessary - a few random occurrences of the keyword will suffice.

To make money successfully from your website or blog, you don’t necessarily need professional web hosting. But if you want your online business to give the appearance of being professional and a serious resource for Internet Marketers, then it is essential.

I was reading another blog where the owner uses only the free blogging platforms to promote his online business. While his online make money business does exactly that - and very efficiently I might add - he commented that there were many up and coming marketers that viewed free blogs as second rate and wouldn’t take anything they read in them seriously, simply because they were not professionally hosted.

While that is a narrow minded view and in a lot of cases could not be more inaccurate, the fact remains that free blogs are viewed with less significance than professionally hosted blogs.

So how does the savvy Internet Marketer capitalize on this fact? Well getting professional hosting and putting up an informative blog to capture the attention of those pretentious enough to be attracted by it and take full advantage of the situation to make money!

While this may be viewed as underhand tactics, it’s not really as you’re simply exploiting a valuable market that wants what you are providing. Supply and demand, if you like!

One useful site that is worth checking out for comparing some of the better professional hosting companies is http://www.webhostingchoice.com. They give you the ability to compare the benefits and prices of the best web hosting companies so you can make an informed choice instead of just wading in feet first and signing up to the first pro-hosting company you come across.

That title is a bit of a mouthful, but it conveys what this post is all about and that’s how to make money with affiliate marketing by writing a review of a product, in this case “Get Google Ads Free” and then promoting it.

By way of an example, because I like to give examples and kill two birds with one stone - ie couple the “how to” with some actual promotion - I’ll show you what I’m promoting and tell you how I’m doing it.

First of all the product.

That came straight from Clickbank. I chose the top product from the list - being the hottest product of the moment and set about writing a review of it. The product is called “Get Google Ads Free” and I put the review up on a page on this site. So I don’t have to link directly to it from here, you can follow this link: Get Google Ads Free Review and have a look for yourself. I’ll wait… but do remember to come back here!

Now you can see it’s a pretty unbiased review of Get Google Ads Free and does give the bad points as well as good. There are a couple of pretty banners to liven up the page a little plus links directly to the sales page. The links are cloaked, by the way, to prevent affiliate link theft which is a real pain and costs affiliates a lot of money in lost commissions.

The promotion side then begins.

To drive traffic to that page, as well as blogging about it here, I’ll write an article and spin it out to a few article directories. That will also get the page indexed quickly if the search engines don’t want to look at me here for a few days - sort of gees them up!

Then I’ll be visiting some of the better message boards that allow ads and post in them. I’ll also go to my other blogs and blog about it in them too - every little helps!

I’ll also put up some small banners in my other blogs and Squidoo lenses as they all get traffic and you never know who’s looking!

There are other methods to use, like safelists which I don’t like, and traffic exchanges, which I also don’t like so if they take your fancy, well, go right ahead! The more ways you can get the word out there about your page, the better.

You could also use social networking to promote your blog posts (and ping them too) which will get traffic to your blogs and then on to your review page.

This affiliate promotion of “Get Google Ads Free” is a work in progress, so let’s see how this pans out in a couple of weeks or so.
