Getting Your Adsense Sites Into Google
By: John Elder posted in Adsense
Hello good people!
It’s another great Saturday here in Chicago! It’s a little overcast but warm! Tonight’s the famous Chicago lights parade where they turn on one million white Christmas lights on the trees along Michigan avenue. The streets around my apartment are packed already!
Had another great earnings day (well, great compared to post-Panda earnings!). Saw $70 in adsense and $33.14 in commissions off of $509.77 in Amazon.com purchases with over 30 items purchased for a $103 day total. Slowly coming back from the Panda.
Today I want to talk about getting your websites indexed into Google. This is something that a lot of people really obsess about, but they really shouldn’t. Of course, it’s important to get your websites indexed in Google just as soon as possible, but it’s not really as hard as people think.
First off…what is Indexing?
I should start off by explaining exactly what I mean by “indexing”. Indexing is simply the process of Google adding your web site to their search engine; or to put it another way, “adding you to the index”. It doesn’t have anything to do with rankings.
I’m not talking about getting your website listed in the first ten spots under any particular keyword here, I’m just talking about letting Google know that you have a new site and getting them to come and take a look at it (by sending the automated Googlebot) and adding your site to the index.
It’s the very first step in the process, but it’s important.
How to do it?
There are probably an infinite number of ways to get your website indexed. It’s really kind of funny, but whenever I talk with real Adsense pro’s, they almost all seem to have their own particular way to get sites indexed. These can include:
- Submitting your sites to Google manually
- Adding Your sites Through Google Webmaster Tools
- Pinging Your sites (especially for WordPress Sites)
- Posting Links to your new sites on Forums
- Article Marketing with Links to your new sites
- and on and on…
Which method is best? I’m not sure there really is a “best” method. I’ll tell you my method, and that it generally only takes a couple of days for me to get sites indexed.
While all methods are generally fine, a couple of things I don’t recommend you do are the first two items on that list above. I’ve talked in the past about how I don’t think you should ever use Google products such as Google analytics or Google Webmaster tools because you don’t want to announce to Google which sites you own, in case they decide they don’t like you and start to ban your sites.
So I don’t recommend you submit your new sites to Webmaster Tools, or even submit it manually on Googles submission page. But besides that, you should use anything that works for you.
What do I do?
Well I went around the web looking for high traffic sites that accept links to new sites. Specifically these are whois information sites (where you can type in an URL and it will tell you the whois info – ie who owns the domain name). There are a ton of these, and Google spiders them constantly.
I also found a bunch of website “valuation” sites. You’ve probably seen these, you type in your domain name and these sites will tell you how much your domain name is worth. They’re toys, and the values they give you aren’t really based in reality, but Google spiders these sites all the time.
Since Google spiders these sites, if you submit your new URL to them Google will see it listed there, realize that it isn’t in Google’s index yet, and promptly add you.
I built some software that will submit my sites to about 40 of these types of websites automatically in a matter of seconds. After that, it generally takes a day or two for Google to index my sites.
The software I built isn’t really user friendly, but in the next week or so I hope to retool it with a nicer user interface and give it away for free to all the readers of my blog and newsletter. So if you’re interested, keep an eye out. Hopefully I’ll get it done by the end of next week.
Keep on building!
