Ensuring Your Site Is Fully Indexed
October 29th, 2008 by Dan
Early search engine optimisation requires that you get every page of your website indexed with the major search engines. This requires that you first find a way of letting them know that your site is complete and has been populated with content. Submitting a sitemap or generating your first SEO link are the two most common and effective methods of doing this and the latter also provides you with the perfect starting block to go on and generate those all important links to the important pages of your site.
Navigation
You must provide adequate navigation on your website. For SEO purposes this should be through the use of text based links because spiders, although better than they once were, struggle to navigate flash based and even image based links properly. Using text links allows you to include relevant and important keywords in the links, which can also help you start your SEO campaign effectively in the way that you mean to proceed.
Sitemaps
If you do use image or flash based navigation then it is good SEO practice to also offer a text based sitemap that the spiders can use. This should be placed on your website and a text link directed to the sitemap page from your home page. A lot of websites that use this technique include a text link to the sitemap in the footer of their homepage which is perfectly acceptable practice to follow.
Updating The Search Engines
Once a sitemap has been added you simply need to submit it to the search engines using the SEO or webmaster tools that each offers. Another benefit of offering a sitemap is that when you add a new page or remove an old one you can quickly resubmit it to the search engines so that they can send the spiders back to your site and update their records accordingly. Otherwise, it can take several days or weeks for the spiders to naturally call back to your pages and see the changes.
Indexing Importance
Indexing is vital to SEO. Good indexing ensures that search engines are not only aware of every page of your site but have noted relevant details regarding every page of that site. This allows you to continue with your SEO efforts, optimising every page, and building links for every page using your most important keywords and the end result is a strong portfolio of performing pages populated with targeted visitors that are ready to make purchases and pay for services.
SEO Indexing
SEO is an ongoing process that consists of many different steps. Indexing, while occurring in the early days of your website is actually quite far through the stages of SEO. This is because a lot of your later efforts will be the continued building of good quality links to each of the pages of your site. Regardless of when it occurs, though, the indexing of every page on your website is important to your SEO success because it allows the search engines access to each page.
