@Anbu, Your site is already indexed by Google. You will surely start building traffic in the due course of time. You need to do a little bit of site optimization to create the right post titles though.

I just checked your blog. You seem to have disabled the search engines from finding your blog. First you check your blogger admin settings. In Settings -> Basics, opt for “Yes” to ‘Let search engines find your blog” and “Add your blog to our listings”. Once that is done, search engines should find your blog and index it.

In addition (after making the above change) load your blog in the browser and choose “View source” from browser and search for “”. If that statement is there, search engines will not index your posts. In that case, mostly you will have to edit the blogger template itself to remove it.

Best way to solve the issue is to sign up with Google Webmaster Tools, upload your sitemap and diagnoze your robot.txt file there. It has a mechanism to design and validate robot.txt file. Otherwise, just contact me with your blog URL and current robot.txt content.

Sometimes adding the sitemap.xml and robots.txt is just not enough. If it’s a fresh website I would not recommend adding the project to the directories, as this will not bring you a desired effect, Google just will see another link in the spam directory with low authority rate. Instead, I would suggest adding the website to the social media platforms, like twitter f.e. Since Google have launched the real-time search, he has to index this information, so all the links posted in twitter are crawling almost immediately, and from my experience are indexed faster, even if they have a tag.

@Gillean, what Kurt probably meant is that instead of you submitting your blog directly to Google or other search engines, it’s good enough (or even better) if your posts get digged or stumbled. Since Google follows social media sites and indexes the content faster, that’s a shorter route to make the google bot visit your site. And once it visits, if it sees a good sitemap there, your entire content is indexed as well.

What does ‘search engine scan them’ mean?

Submitting to web directories is a vital part of every successful link building strategy. Apart from driving traffic to your website through direct referrals, web directories provide static, one-way links to your site, boosting your link popularity and improving your rankings on the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.

One of my friends, Swastik has really found an ingenious method of quickly getting your site indexed in Google. Just go to Google Keyword Tool, analyze your website for keywords and presto; your site gets crawled and indexed in a very short time. I have tried this and it seems to work for me too.

Just a little tip I felt like sharing…

We generally don’t bother submitting our sites to the search engines as such. We do an initial batch of directory listings and links from quality high PR sites, allied to good on-page optimization, and we find the pages get indexed quickly by the search engine spiders. It actually seems to take longer ifthe site gets submitted….

@Chinese Girl, thanks for your visit and comment Thanks for reminding me of ‘pinging’ as a means to alert the search engines to crawl your site. Platforms like WordPress has this feature built-in and plugins like Google XML sitemap, further enforces it.

Even without doing search engine submission, the search engine bots could still find you from your public profiles (on social networks, yahoo/Google groups, blog directories, FeedBurner etc)

I think pinging is another way to let search engines find and index your page. But sometimes search engines can find your site with some other secret methods which is not listed above, Recently I have built a new website and did not have started link building or any other SE marketing and I found it is indexed by google, strange?!Chinese Girl's last blog post...

This is a great tutorial for beginners Ajith – now when people ask you questions you can just link to you own article (and get more traffic).

As I was reading it I started thinking about terms that we use that are normal to us but are actually a little strange – robots, spiders – it almost sounds a bad horror film

Ok – now I’m on to part 2.
