Certainly, achieving visibility in Google’s search rankings can be a mystery.

But there is no reason why you can’t help google get your site found.

Google Sitemaps (www.google.com/webmasters/) is a program that gives you the chance to let Google know about your website.
You can upload a site map, which shows Google the pages of your site (create it at www.xml-sitemaps.com). Once that’s done, you’ll be registered with Google, where you can learn vital statistics.

1. Query statistics: Information regarding the queries that Google searchers have used to and been returned results about your site.
2. Crawl statistics: Information regarding successes and failures of crawls of your site as well as PageRank information and also how often Google “crawls” your site for updates
3. Page analysis: Information about the types of pages on your site such as the type of page and the page encoding.
4. Index statistics: Information about how your site is indexed. For example, you can get a list of indexed pages for your site, a list of pages that link to your site, and get a look at the Google cache for your site and a lot more.

Take note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that your pages will be listed for your favorite keywords, only that your website will be discovered a lot quicker than if you don’t.

And it has also been shown that a sitemap is usually more useful for relatively established sites. For new sites, the first step to increase traffic and viewership will always be adding fresh quality content.

Yahoo offer similar services as well. But I found that once Google has your website information, Yahoo is usually not that far behind. So making the effort to submit my website to Yahoo seems like wasted effort.

How to Get Google to Search Your Site NOW!

Google’s latest offering allows you to create a website that is hosted at Google for free.

Of course, there are the usual “let us make your life easier” Google features like:

• Single-click page creation
• No HTML required
• Customizable look and feel
• Cool widgets like latest announcement plug-ins …etc
• And of course it’s free !!!

Check out what I created for eBusinessToGo.com in less than 30 minutes at the right.
https://sites.google.com/site/ebusinesstogo/

However, we all know there is always a catch whenever you hear the word free.

In this case, they are not so much as a catch but a limitation.

Sites created at Google Sites can only be simple websites.

Sure there are plug-ins like sitemaps, navigation menu, latest announcements that you can add to your website with a simple click but to do any “fancy” features it is basically impossible, particularly for people who aren’t experts.

A second limitation is you can’t use your own domain name you must use a “sites.google.com” domain name.

Wait!

Before you shove this into the “Great idea but useless to me” project pile and move on to your next task.

I urge you to sit down and think who DOMINATES the search landscape now and apparently for years to come.

Yes, Google – the very same company who has generously given us free websites and hosting.

Word on the street is that any site that is created via Google Site will be given a higher SEO ranking than any other site of SIMILAR nature.

So, for 30 minutes of my time, and I can get higher quality traffic to my website, in this case eBusinessToGo.com, without paying a single dime!

Heck, why not!

Free Website and Hosting and best of all, Google is footing the bill.

Known as the Goggle Insights for Search, it is geared mostly towards advertisers but interesting to anyone into trends and of particular interest to people doing Internet Marketing.

Google Insights allows to you chart a search term popularity across web and the world which is cool in itself.

I did a quick search for “Identity Theft” and who knew there are almost twice as many people in Jamaica who is interested in Identity Theft as those in United States.

Well, there is a story behind it, and I am sure with a bit more investigation, you will know why too.

But that is not the point. Can you see how powerful this tool can be!!!

Not only that, it also gives you the top search terms related to the terms YOU are searching for. In this case, “Identity Theft Protection” came up twice as popular as “Identity Theft Fraud”. Something to take note of if you have an online business that dealing with identity theft.

You can react much faster than any Joe out there because you KNOW the trend.
That is not the best part, Google Insights even offer you Rising searches that tells you what is the next hottest search term relating to Identity Theft which simply blow me away.

So if you have a chance, check out Google Insights. It is free (which is what any self-respecting online business owner LOVES) and it is from Google (enough said).
