Natural Search Works
Posted by Mitch on Dec 14, 2007
There’s been this debate in the SEO community, of which I’m a minor member, as to whether it’s better to submit your website to all the search engines to help them find you, or just to wait and let it happen naturally. In the past, whenever I’ve created a website, I’ve always submitted it, just to make certain, but this was before the debates came up. I decided not to with this site, just to see what might happen.
Well, I’m happy to say that, in just a few days, Google has found me. And, if I put the name of my blog in, it comes up in the 3rd position; that’s kind of neat. Now, that is only Google, because it still hasn’t shown up on Yahoo, MSN, or Ask, but Google’s the big dog, which this kind of proves.
Of course, the thing about a blog is that it’s not only always new content, but it also isn’t easy to optimize when you’re kind of all over the place. Still, it’s nice to know that I do hae a chance to compete, since they’ve also indexed my first few pages.
I'm Just Sharing is a blog about sharing my thoughts about internet marketing and other things. Read, enjoy, and buy! :-)
Hi Mitch,
I’ve never submitted my blogs to search engines. Google picks up quickly, seems to like wordpress blogs.
I was quite happy to see one of my new blogs, (still needs polishing up), not only get found and indexed by Google, but on the top page for several keyword phrases that contain the words in one of my categories.
Nice additional trickle of traffic. Need to add more posts in that category.
Loving Wordpress!
Wordpress really is nice, isn’t it? And we just have to keep writing in our blogs, and the people will come.
