Be Patient

The first rule when you are dealing with Seach Engine Marketing is: be Patient. When you have added tools and you have tested if they work, give the 'system' time to catch up. The indexing of the major machines is done on a frequent basis but always takes a bit of time. Sometimes it is minutes, sometimes hours, bur for major indexing jobs it takes days.

Google Blog Search

The www.google.com takes some time before a new website of blog is published. Sometimes days. The Blogs system of Google works quite quick. My last postings already can be found. All words and especially the labels are indexed so quickly, I can see the list only a few hours later. Have a look and search for something at:

www.google.com/blogsearch

Add URL to Google

Because a site has to be found the URL has to be indexed in the major search-engines. There are expensive tools for this, but a first right step is to report your new site to Google:

http://www.google.nl/addurl/?hl=nl&continue=/addurl

Offcourse there is a special box where you have to type in a code. This is to prevent programms to send constantly URL's to the Google database that need indexing.

Google is a source for other search-engines as well. I'll come back to the theme search-engines soon. A first indexing gets into the system, and it might start to cause visitors that come tou your site because of specific words that you mention on your site.
