Inviting Google to your web site

March 1, 2007 – 4:29 am

Wondering why Google is taking so long to index your web site ? Or why the Google’s spider, Googlebot doesn’t visit your site frequently ?

Well, in both the cases you have to invite Google to your web site. And invitations should be frequent.

Wait, don’t even think for a while that I am suggesting you to submit your site to Google repeatedly. It’s an absolute “No No”.

What I am trying to say is leaving your web site links in different places ( read web sites ) in the world wide web such that Google can follow it and land up in your site. I am not talking about sending emails and asking other sites to link back to you. I am talking about how you can achieve this yourself.

So, how you can post links to web sites that Google frequently visits ? And which are the web sites anyway ?

Here’s a quiz for you to answer -

1. Name one Blog that Google may like most of all.

2. Name a couple Forums that Google visits frequently.

3. Name a community sites that Google may prefer.

4. If you have a short video, where do you post it ?

5. Name 3 big directories other than Yahoo and Dmoz.

6. If you have an article, which are the directories you should consider to post it ?

7. Can you name some other sites that Google is likely to visit more frequently ?

I encourage you to find the answers yourself. I know you can do it.

But if you don’t, come back tomorrow and check it out.
