Getting your new website found fast is sometimes problematic at best. If you hired a search engine optimization firm while your website was being built (as you should so they can influence the important design elements for SEO), most of them will submit your website to the search engines when the website is done and uploaded to the Internet.

That’s the very slow way to get your website found. Many search engines, Google included, will stick your website in a “sandbox” or queue and get to your website when they “get around to it.”

I prefer to put a link on a popular page on my website. My website is huge and constantly getting new blog posts and articles and links so Google comes here quite often to see what’s new. Then they find the link and follow it to my client’s new website and naturally, they scan it and catalog it right then and there.

A case in point is one of my latest client’s, Brad Lang of Fact Investigations. He contracted with Jill Weddall of Moxie Createfor his first website. Jill referred Brad to me for the copywriting and the search engine optimization.

When the website was finished and on the Internet, I posted an intro paragraph and anchor text link on my Trusted Partners page on my website. And if you check it out, you’ll notice that I used the primary keyword phrase for his Home page for the link rather than the name of his firm. That way, Google sees the primary keyword phrase on my page as the link and follows it to Brad’s website where on of the first things it sees is that keyword phrase on his website page. Google likes that kind of “alignment.”

One other thing I did for Brad to get him found fast was sell him my Ultimate Directory Marketing Kit for $47. The kit comes with a PDF with a list of links to the top free local directories, a PDF with a list of links to the best paid national directories, and an information form you can fill out that will have every bit of information you will need for any directory, anywhere. Then you can just copy and paste from the form to the directory. Fast and simple.

Between the listing on my website and the directory listings Brad put up at places like Google Maps and Yahoo Local, within three days, Brad was moving up the listings on Google rather than waiting two months for Google to find him.
