Until a website gets indexed, it might as well not exist. Once you’ve gotten your shiny new website up and running, then, it’s crucial to get it indexed as quickly as possible. The longer it sits there without being crawled by spiders, robots and other search engine bots, the longer it will languish in total obscurity. The easiest way to get indexed is to have incoming links – but how do you get the ball rolling on those? The following tips should help.
Question-and-answer websites proliferate online. Frequent a few of the most popular ones – like Yahoo! Answers or Facebook Questions – and look for questions that you can answer in a few seconds. Always include a link back to your site. When those sites are indexed, yours should be, too.

YouTube is the biggest search engine in the United States, with over 24 hours of video uploaded every minute and over 2 billion video views a day. A lot of companies think they are ahead of the mark when it comes to social media and video simply because they are uploading videos to YouTube. However, without proper SEO of video title, description, and keywords (along with profile information), your videos may fail to garnish large amounts of view and traffic.

I came across this great video from Google’s SEO Guru, Matt Cutts, about a common question many SEO professionals get asked on a regular basis– “How can YOU make my site #1 on Google?”
I always tell clients that in my opinion, any company or person that promises you that you will get a #1 ranking is probably either a) using “black hat”, or inappropriate, SEO practices or b) doesn’t know what they are doing. Any true SEO expert knows that promising a #1 ranking to a new or current customer is a definitely no-no when it comes to SEO.
