Recently I worked on Two websites, one for my client and one for myself. Challenge was to put the website in search engine within 24 hours. This is not an easy task but not tough too. A proper strategy will help you to put the website in search engine within 24 hours or may be couple of hours.
Here is the synopsis of strategy which I used to put both the website in search engine within 24 hours. Apart from inpage SEO optimization like meta tags, meta keywords, meta description, robots.txt, sitemap main strategy was put the website in search engine in few hours.
First thing which one should do is write first post on your blog. You might not add content, but a strong title like Welcome to Blogname will be helpful.
Submission to Blog networks :
We talk about blog directories and blog networks and most of SEO expert they were the things of the past, but it’s not that true. Even today it works. But like old time, you should not submit your blog to every blog network or blog directories. Instead submit your blog to selected blog network and directories. Avoid link exchange blog directories!. Here are 2-3 Blog directories/network Which I prefer and suggest to my readers :
Technorati is no more a popular blog directory but still its one of the powerful one. Submit your blog to Technorati and verify your ownership.
Mybloglog is blog network from yahoo and you can quickly submit you blog into it.
This is one of my favorite because this blog network drive lots of traffic and link back to my blog always.
Sitemap Submission :
Sitemap is created to help search engine crawler to effectively crawl your blog. Make sure you have created your or client sitemap. Now submit sitemap to Google/ Bing/ Yahoo / Ask and popular search engine you can think of.
Commenting Dofollow/Comment luv
Since it was a paid job and more of a challenge for me to accomplish. I added almost 30+ comments for both the blog on comment luv blog. I didn’t checked for dofollow or nofollow attribute. But what I did was, commented on popular and high traffic blogs. This confirmed that search engine bots will follow the comment link and will land into my blog and that’s what happened.
Popular website Stats program :
This idea I got from problogger post. Ades suggested to check your blog using popular stats program and I did the same. Though till now I don’t see that search engine picked those blog using stats website but many time I have seen such programs are very effective for getting result on Google. Here are few of the stats program mentioned in that post and I will suggest you to check the stats :
Such Website stats website are endless, if you have more on the list, do add using comment box.
Social Bookmarking submission :
This is another method which is very effective. Though somehow within 4 hour my website was in search engine and I didn’t had to go for submission. In case even if I had to, I would have gone for Mixx, Digg and delicious.
Guest posting:
If you budget is high or you have patience, prepare 5-10 quality posts and ask your fellow blogger on the same niche to publish on their blog as guest author and enjoy the backlink. If you doing it for a client, buy 5-10 articles and do the same. Along with backlink it will also help to get some traffic for your blog. Try to guest post on popular , high page rank and regularly updated website.
Ping Services:
Ping services are another one great effective way to notify search engine for your existence. Pingomatic is one such tool which you can use to notify multiple service at once. Though Wordpress has default feature to ping services, but giving it a shot for the first time won’t hurt.
And here is the result with in 4 hours :
Don’t mind the meta title. As I was doing all this just for testing purpose and this is my website, so I didn’t added meta title.
There are more to it, but that will make this post lengthy and boring. Meanwhile I will love to hear your feedback about this post and any tactics you would like to append into the post?

Hello Harsh,
SEO is the main and most important part of any website or blog because without SEO website and blog can’t be visible in the search engine.You are right that feed submission and blog submission work nicely to get PR improvement and also for traffic driver.
As my opinion your ways are really worthy to get SEO.For bloggers I would like to suggest professional theme like Thesis and some SEO related plugins like ALL in One SEO,XML map,Smart Links etc.Even anchor texts can improve page ranking.
These efforts should be made to get high volume of traffic,I mean SEO.
Thanks.
Im doing all the process that you had said for my website without knowing some of them is a good one for indexing..
example – pingomatic…
Technorati claiming of our blog is tooooo late. My blog take about 1 month for verification of claim
In most of the posts like this a have seen that most people say that Social Bookmarking helps, but in my case it does not, except for Facebook. I didn’t see any traffic source coming to my blog from any of the social bookmarking sites, but I do get traffic from Orkut and facebook.
In-spite when I become active in Yahoo Answers my traffics boozes like anything. So what I learned in the 3 month of my blogging experience is Social Networking sites do help but Social Bookmark not as much.
But I am just 3-4 month old blogger so may be I am wrong. May be after sometime I will get benefit of it.
U r Absolutely right Geek…
I totally agreed with you
Social networking sites is best because many people engaging there for sharing their thought with friends than social bookmarking websites….
If we go for digg, twitter etc., our mutual friends are excepting to retweet and digg the story so you have to concentrate in that also…
So it’s become easier to find people and making traffic to our blog in social n/w sites….
This is Awesome bro… But Indexing Homepage is Nice..
But Can You tell me How to Index Individual URLs.. I need Tutorial for that bro… My Site is Facing some penalty.. can u pls suggest me few tutorials on “How to Recover from Google penalty/Filter”…
I will be grateful to u bro
Thanks Harsh for such a valuable tips
Really appreciated
An excellent article. BlogCatalog helped me a lot in initial days. Even Orkut helps me in driving traffic.
nice setup, harsh! If it’s necessary to get it index, you can also connect it with tumblr.com and get a blog comment backlink to tumblr.
the first thing i did was to submit sitemap….then i commented and commented and commented….
This is Awesome
Nice article and @ Sudharshan and @ Geek Social bookmarking helps only when you have good network around you and it is the same case with Facebook too.
yes suhasini..
you are correct
But when you want instant and easy traffic social n/w is best than social bookmarking..
Want proof ?
submit 2 or 3 articles in one Orkut communites which supports your niche..then see the difference
Its not a big thing, my two new sites indexed within 2-3 Hours (One got a PR of 2 in 1 month) , but last one takes 2-3 days.
Its Simple, Activate , ALL In SEO and Google XML Site Map pluggin.
Use Google webmaster Tools, also Yahoo site explorer.
All these tips by Harsha is Cool. Its Simple and No cost
.
Your right dude. It will help someone who just start make new blog.
Man, really stunning one. I’ll refer this article to my friends, who started blogging. Cheers…
i have done all these things except guest blogging but its been 6 weeks. i have no traffic from google.
This was awesome. I have just launched my new blog, and I was thinking about what to do next, when I saw your post
I have experienced that guest posting is one of the most effective ways to get indexed. But first, I’ll have to add my site map to Google.
Excellent post, all in one
Just comment on any high traffic blog or website or you can try any Google forums. that’s it… Posting on Google Forums/google Groups will index your website
Atul
I created this blog yesterday and today it has 4 pages indexed on google.. I used pingler to ping. and commented of few blogs.
No expertize required to do this. But some times blogspot takes whole one month to get indexed.
I have written a similar article on my blog but this one is much better. I have missed so many points which this article includes.

Great work Harsh. This article is really helpful for all the new bloggers. Next time when I will start a new blog I try these methods for sure so that my blog starts to appear on search engines from the first day. Thanx for sharing this experience
MyBlogLog will shut down soon. No point in submitting. Anyways this is a complete post. I followed that problogger post every step and I got indexed in Google for less than 24hrs sure!!!
For the guest posting and bookmarking are other good additions.
cubestat and other stats site have high PR hence submitting to them will automatically a great bonus.
Nice share. Bookmarking and social sharing always help everyone.
Hi Harsh, on the title you have mentioned about website indexing, but on the description you have mentioned informed about blog. I am also working for different projects of client. But I am getting confused how I get relevant link for those different niche websites.
I totally agree… I once did an assignment and it took me under 24 hours to get the website listed in top 10 results on Google search. Social websites do help a lot in providing the required exposure to the search engines.
I just did all of this for my new blog…….i want to see how it will turn out. thanks for the post
Hey Harsh ,Great post and I liked the tools you listed.Good ones!
i am a new blogger this is very very useful to me thank u
