In the blog on May 19th, I explained one of the ways to quickly get listed on the search engines.

Following is the opening paragraph from that post:

You may have seen information being sold about “How to get listed in Google in three days”.

I have not purchased that information, so maybe they know something that I don’t. But, I will tell you how to get listed in the search engines in just a few days, and it won’t cost you anything (or very little).

I know of two ways to get listed quickly.
1. Submit a press release.
2. Start Blogging

In May 19th blog, I told you about press releases and gave you some examples of press releases that I have written (and I am not a great writer).

So, today I’ll talk about getting listed via a blog.

As probably know, blog is short for web log. Blogs are gaining huge popularity by the day and are becoming another tool being used by work at home internet marketers.

If you want to see how popular blogs are, just go to your favorite search engine (I hope you’ll use http://www.homebizfind.com since it’s mine). Do a search for blogs and you may be surprised at the number results you get.

The reason blogs are so popular for internet marketers is because the search engines love them! Because blogs are updated regularly, as opposed to static web sites that aren’t updated regularly, the search engines scan them often. Plus, blogs contain a lot of changing content, which again search engines love.

**** Side Note *****
I need to mention another reason blogs are becoming so popular. With blogging software you can build content rich, money making websites having no web site building skills. You don’t have to know HTML, buy web hosting, know how to ftp to your web host or have any other technical knowledge.

Okay, back to blogs and search engines.
Not only does your blog get scanned and listed in the search engines quickly, but web pages you are linked to also get scanned and added to the search engines. Now, that doesn’t mean that you will be listed high on the search engine, but getting in the search engine listings is the first step.

Normally, it takes about 3 months to get listed in the major search engines. I would NEVER using a submittal service to get my web sites listed. I only use press releases and out going links from my blog.

For example, my 3 latest web sites:
http://www.websute.com
http://www.websote.com (funny names I know. See the for an experiment I tried)
http://www.theyclosethedeals.com

were listed in Google within a few days after I wrote about them in this blog. I used no submission services and didn’t even do press releases - it was all free, and quick.

I was a little late getting started in the blogshpere, and now I regret it. If you aren’t blogging yet, you must start if you want to compete in the internet marketing world.

Okay, so you don’t know anything about blogging. Well, I don’t know everything but I know enough to help you get started. Later, I will tell you how to get started.

Until Later,
Mike
