One of the most exciting and frustrating struggles of becoming an online entrepreneur is building new websites. You have spent all your hard work and time to only find that no one has gone to your website. One of the easiest ways to get traffic is through search engines by getting crawled and indexed.
This is my complete SEO guide to getting your new website crawled and indexed quickly.
1.) Search Engine Submission
Submit your site to the top 3 search engines. Don’t worry waste your time on auto search engine submitters because the big 3 will get you covered. Google,Yahoo, MSN
2.) Automatic Backlinks
Major search engines will crawl popular sites more often and easiest way to get crawled is by having a link on popular sites. Here are some neat sites that will give you automatic backlinks. Replace the site url with your url.
For instance for us it would be http://www.aboutus.org/llank.com
http://www.aboutus.org/”siteurl”
http://cubestat.com/”siteurl”
http://whois.domaintools.com/”siteurl”

I can’t take the credit on this one, it was from akdiver on Digitalpoint forums and I just wanted to share his favorite SEO technique.
One of the most important pieces of gaining more readers and traffic is search engine optimization. If your site can’t be found than no one will come, simple as that.
What we will try to do is look for high ranking keywords that are less competitive. I’ll cater this example to a money making site 
1.)Go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com or https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
I chose to use Google’s since we’ll most likely be optimizing for Google anyways. We will look for keywords relating to your website that are not too long and not too competitive. Searching for the term “making money money” we are returned with 110,000 daily searches. The money making sector is a saturated and a term with large volumes will be difficult to compete with. Lets move down the list and write down a few that have lower search volumes such as:
“make money online with” - 320 daily searches
“make money online without paying” - 480 daily searches
“making money online made easy”- 210 daily searches

Alright this might be a little off topic but I thought this was interesting and low balling even for Best Buy:
Linux for only $19.99
Only problem is….. Yes you are right! Linux is FREE. Oh Oh and they can have their awesome Geek Squad install it for only an additional $129.99. Seems like Best Buy is trying to sell something free for money? First time in history thats done right? *cough Bottled *cough Water.
Too F-in bad Best Buy that we will not be trixied by your silly marketing and for those of us that don’t know better here you go to download your free copy of Ubuntu Linux .
To finish it off -
“Ubuntu will always be free to download, free to use and free to distribute to others. With these goals in mind, Ubuntu aims to be the most widely used Linux system, and is the centre of a global open source software ecosystem.” -Ubuntu.com

If you haven’t notice we switched themes! Partly because it was getting a little old but also since it did not work in Internet Explorer(the devil) 6.0! Oh and if you haven’t already the new kickass Firefox 3.0 is out so go get it!
When I was testing the initial theme, it worked in both Firefox and IE 7.0 perfectly but I totally forgot about IE 6.0! Although its an older version the demographics of users seem pretty high. On our sites it still holds about 10% or so and each and every one of you is important to us :) Here is an IE tab plugin for us awesome Firefox users!
If you want to test further on different browsers/platforms:
Sorry guys I left you hanging and without a notice. Somewhere in between all of April till now the motivation just got swept under the table to blog. I’ve visited the site plenty of times just to look and see, but it saddens me that I gave up.
So here I am again posting/complaining/explaining all at once that I’m down but not out.
I won’t be the first to do it and surely not the last but why does this happen? People run out of ideas to write, motivation to write or the site just didn’t show any potential. You put all this work into it and in the end no one comes to read what you have to say. We’ll I’ve read before that its not what you post on your blog its what you don’t that defines your blog. I’m here to scratch that and say post whatever the hell you want and its better than not posting at all!
Nate and I will be here to stay and posts will keep flowing! Good news is I’ve had quite some time to decide about all the topics to write and they will come shortly so stay posted I know I know… but trust me once more k k?
If you are one that gave up on your blog as well maybe its a time to renew it just like me. Its never too late so give it a shot.
