How To Get More Website Pages Indexed

By AffiliatesCenterBlog On January 12, 2012 Under SEO Tips

So, how to get more website pages indexed? I get this question all the time…why do we need to get pages other than your home page indexed? Well, you want people to find your site don’t you? Sure, they’ll find your home page but think of how much more opinion Google will have of your site if all your pages are in the index. That’s pretty powerful stuff.

One of the problems with teaching people about getting sites indexed in the search engines is that too many teachers make it complicated.

My question is always…why? It’s simple. It’s not rocket science. Get some links back to your pages and the search engines will reward you. Do nothing and nothing happens. Does that make sense?

We’ve mentioned Mark Ling several times on this site and a post Mark recently did a post on this very same topic. What I like about it is that it’s simple to follow and straight to the point. Here are some of the ways you can get your site pages indexed:

- spread the word with social bookmarking
- submit articles to major directories
- internal linking
- ping your page whenever you create a new one
- leave value-added comments on other sites in your niche
- regularly update your site

How simple is that. Here’s more from Mark and each of the items listed in a little more detail. Then we’ll tell you what else you can do to give your pages a real boost.

Before we begin, here are two important points to consider:

First, you should be building links to the new page you want indexed, and not just your website homepage. It is important to build ‘deep’ links to all the content pages on your website, but many webmasters seem to ignore this and just build backlinks to their homepage.

For example, if you have the website www.example.com, and your new page (that you want to have indexed) is at www.example.com/new-page, then make sure you build links to that specific page.

Second, you should monitor your progress as you get new pages indexed. To do this, make sure you have added your website to the Traffic Travis Dashboard as a project (this is covered in detail here.)

You should also use Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools to keep track of your website. Both of these services are free and very easy-to-use. Google also provide answers to frequently asked questions about how Google search indexes websites.

Another powerful way to not just get your sites indexed but bringing lots of traffic is to write articles for the top rated blogs in your niche. We looked at this in our previous post and it might be worth going over it again. Simply contact webmasters with quality websites in your niche and ask them if they would like unique content. You add a couple of links back to your page and you’re set. It’s as easy as that. We will look at this in more detail soon; possibly next post.
