Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Six

Hey everyone,

May 6 (Day 6)

* Started at 1.38pm
* Prepared More Articles for Article Directories
* Found more blog ping urls that work! (see below)
* Submitted blog and blog posts to forums
* Submitted blog to social bookmarking sites
* Submitted Feedburner RSS Feed URL out to RSS Feed sites.
* Visitors received before starting 12
* Added more meta tags to get more search engine bots over to the site.
* Finished for the Day - time on project 3 hours 29 minutes

Average Alexa Rank has gone from unranked to 610,150 in just a few days. So we’re half way there within a week of our main goal of 4 weeks.

No Adsense clicks yet, but I’m not really worried at this point, first goal is to get over 100 visitors a day, which wont belong at this rate. Besides, not all of my blog posts have been indexed yet since this is a new blog. I’ve noticed that generally new blogs take about a week to be FULLY indexed.

Visitor count doubled yesterday, from 30 to 77 and we still haven’t even got half way through the list to drive even more traffic to our Blog. In the coming weeks it’s gonna start getting confusing and we’re gonna need to track EVERYTHING we do, where we posted, what the links were so we can use these to create a semantically related theme structure around our topic.

How many of us use blog ping urls? What are they?

Blog Ping urls is basically a process when you make a post on your blog, there’s a setting there that asks you if you want to ping out to services to let them know that you just made a post.

Places like Technorati, which you have to join first in order for it to take any effect. Your blog post url is appended to this url and adds your page to their website. Some sites keep your url in plain sight, others tapper off after 100 or so sites have been pinged and end up on page 2 - infinity. Other just truncation after 100 links have been pinged by other blogs. Nevertheless, it helps the process of search engine bots to crawl those pinged sites which then in turn crawls your blog. This is why blogs are so popular, it automates the process of getting links from other sites to start the search engine bot crawling process. Did you know, that you didn’t have to have a blog to ping to these services? Yup, this is what SEO Website Builder Pro does.

The more links you have out there, whether it be by the process of blog and ping urls, or manually submitting those blog pages to various places speeds up the indexing process.

However, this isn’t always the case on new blogs. It can take a little while and several passes of the search engine bot to come over and fully index your new pages. So don’t panic, you’re not doing anything wrong if you’re following these case study posts. It’s a natural thing to see. My new blog is only 10 or so days old and 3 of the 8 are indexed so far.

This SEO Revolution blog you’re reading from has its pages indexed in less than 10 minutes after it’s been posted, only because there are more links out there and bots are using up more bandwidth than visitors at the moment, even though this blog gets 150-220 visitors a day to it since March 20th, approx 7 weeks with just a few posts.

I submitted to feedburner the other day and I realized that I made a mistake in one of the settings, setting the feed to be used as Events, which I haven’t got a clue what it does, any way, my feed now shows up properly so hopefully this will help the indexing process speed up even more now it’s fully attached to feedburner, so what I may do is add this feedburner RSS feed url of the new blog and submit them out to rss feed directories and see if this helps speed up the process. I also haven’t submitted to any of the popular social bookmarking sites yet, but will today. The other social bookmarking sites were ones I were testing out to see if they had much power to index pages immediately like Digg and Netscape.

BTW, here’s the blog and Ping URLS… remove any dead ping urls you have and use these blog.
How can you tell if any of them are dead? Well, there’s a wordpress plugin called: MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer 1.5

Run a google search for it. You need it. It’s easy to install plus you need to join up to use the service which only takes a few moments. Once installed it will create a Ping Log, which takes about 1-10 minutes depending on the size of the ping list urls you are using, and will report back to you whether or not it was successful. Remove any of the unsuccessful ones immediately as you come across them. The ping list below submit out to approximately 40 ping services combined and they ALL work as they were tested last night.

Enjoy!
Remember though, join technorati and claim your blog first.

The top one is the default you see in wordpress which submits to around 10-20 more services.

Important thing to note, you may remember in the other case study posts I mention that if you make more than one post via your blog or have it set to post more than one each day automatically, make sure that before publishing it to be scheduled to post out at a future date, ensure that your first post doesn’t ping any of the ping services, and your second post does!

Here’s the other links to the blog case studies if you missed it.

If you keep pinging these services for each post you make you could end up banning your blog from these places. So be careful. Another thing to note too is when you edit your posts, unselect the “allow pings” check box before saving the edited post. There is a plugin that automatically disables the ping feature on a post that has already been published should it need to be edited. If you go to wordpress plugin website you should find it without any problem since it’s a rather popular plugin. If you have problems finding it. type in: Smart Update Pinger

Meta tags, not really important and don’t really have much bearing on where you rank, keyword meta tags are pointless regardless what other people say to you. The ONLY thing that keyword meta tags help is better keyword targeting for your Adsense Ads, but here’s the thing. Google Adsense is getting better I have noticed showing the correct adverts. But one thing you need to be aware of, if your pages do not get enough traffic then different adverts will show up.

So to speed up the indexing process and crawl rate of search engine bots, use this code below. When I tested this out below about 18 months ago, man, you should see the amount of bots I get hitting to my sites on a daily basis, it’s crazy! Before I only used to have around 4 or so search engines hitting my sites, but now it’s way in the 15-20 area each month. You’ll even notice this code below on this blog as well and this is another trick to get pages indexed quickly!

<meta name=”robots” content=”index,follow” />
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”index,follow” />
<meta name=”msnbot” content=”index,follow” />
<meta name=”search engines” content=”Aeiwi, Alexa, AllTheWeb, AltaVista, AOL Netfind, Anzwers, Canada, DirectHit, EuroSeek, Excite, Overture, Go, Google, HotBot. InfoMak, Kanoodle, Lycos, MasterSite, National Directory, Northern Light, SearchIt, SimpleSearch, WebsMostLinked, WebTop, What-U-Seek, AOL, Yahoo, WebCrawler, Infoseek, Excite, Magellan, LookSmart, CNET, Googlebot” />
<meta name=”distribution” content=”global” />
<meta name=”rating” content=”general”>
<meta name=”language” content=”en, sv” />

K that’s about it for today… I’m beat.

If you’re enjoying the post so far, give us a digg please, only takes a few minutes compared to my 20 minutes to type up this post. Thanks.
I’m surprised by the total people reading these posts that over 98% of you don’t even use Digg.com Hmm… if you want to start ranking for sites and get free traffic, you’re gonna have to add it to your arsenal.

Above is the digg, click it to digg it. thanks.

If you’re a reader of the blog if you want to get more notices via email as when these posts are made, the top right hand corner you will see eNews & updates, enter your email and click GO, then confirm the link within your email from Feedburner, it may also have SEO Revolution in the subject line.

All the best
