Are Your Website Pages Being Indexed By Google And Yahoo?

We have already discussed why strong internal link structures are so essential to your SEO strategy for the company website, and we looked at how to better promote strong internal linking. Adding a sitelink map to your text link navigation menu was mentioned as one major way to ensure better internal links, and we also talked about how these maps should comply with both Google and Yahoo. It would be a worthwhile exercise to login into both these search engines and confirm that they are both indexing each of your site pages. Making sure that those pages are engine-indexed does not guarantee higher engine keyword rankings but it certainly does not hurt. At the very least, you will obtain relevant and valuable data on how well those internal links are functioning as well as which external website pages are actually linked to your internal pages.

Webmasters and SEO guys have not always been able to go to Google and Yahoo and find out if site pages are engine-indexed . These two engines use to steadfastly keep secret which external pages are linked to your internal ones. The SEO world has changed, however, and now Google and Yahoo recognize the importance of helping Webmasters and SEOs find out which pages are linked. So now they offer up the tools to help you.

After designing your site and engine optimizing it, and making sure that you have created an engine-friendly sitemap, you should immediately set up accounts in Google Webmasters Console and Yahoo Site Explorer. With your sitemap established, you can employ tools from the two search engines to find out if your pages are indexed.

Google Webmasters Console (www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/)

After setting up an account in Console, you can actually add one site or several sites and have multiple ones all registered on a single interface. There are several tools empowering you to obtain valuable information on your site pages:

Diagnostics Tab: find out in detail if Google spiders are having problems accessing pages (i.e. URLS not found, timed out or restricted by robots.txt, http errors).
Links Tab: click on External Links to view all external links pointing to each of your internal pages. Click on Internal Links to discover which internal pages are linked to a specific external page. In both areas you can select Numeric Link to access a list of website pages currently Google-indexed that point to each of your own pages. Links Tab probably provides you with the most valuable information you will obtain in Console.
Pages Analysis: access a Google Analysis of your site and/or page content
Sitemap Tab: create the sitemap for each of your domains, and feature all pages you want crawled.
Statistics Tab: learn about how Google PageRank is distributed on your site, and which page ranks the highest each month.

Yahoo Site Explorer (www.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com)

After setting up an account in Explorer, you can also add one site or several sites but you have to authenticate each of your unique domain names. Tools allowing you to collect details on your pages include:

Explore: located on the administrative interface, this tool lets you view all site pages which are engine-indexed.
Inlinks: allows you to see how many pages are linked to the page you are ‘exploring’. By selecting Except From This Domain on the Show Inlinks dropdown menu you can view just the external links pointing to your site.

You are advised to visit both Console and Explorer frequently to find out which pages were recently indexed and which pages have external links pointed to them. The great news for both Webmasters and SEO people is that Google and Yahoo are finally allowing them to obtain detailed and valuable information on their website links. If you are a Webmaster or SEO person, you would do well to take advantage of such support, as it can only help you formulate a more comprehensive and effective SEO campaign!

All about those blogs
Brad Lombardo

Effective blogging is recognized by webmasters and SEO experts everywhere as a very marketable and profitable SEO tool. Regular postings on your company website blog can positively impact on your SEO campaign in several different ways:

Creating original, relevant and keyword-rich content, thereby increasing the breadth and depth of your site information base
Attracting search engine spiders to your site, thereby increasing your page rank standings
Attracting users to your site, particularly those associated with your industry, thereby increasing site traffic
Driving your company to better find its market niche in your industry

One of the great advantages of blogs concerns how well they compel inbound links to gravitate to your site. Blog content is usually industry-relevant, which leads search engines to ‘link together’ your blog postings and tag it as industry-related information. Daily industry news updates, marketing campaigns, press releases, event general banter or dialogue – it all receives credit towards your page count, particularly if you liberally include industry catchphrases, keywords and company terms.

A related plus is that regular blog postings will increase perception of your site as a valuable source of information and of your company as an industry expert. This means that the right sets of eyes are being attracted to your site. It’s even better if the information posted is new and/or thought-provoking, since this will open the door for two-way conversation. Fellow industry folk are always interested in new ideas and new forums for expressing them, so your blog can become an effective venue where different industry opinions hold fort. Relevant discussions will inevitably prompt others to contribute their own opinions or viewpoints, thus facilitating an easy, ongoing dialogue. This type of industry chatter, and the relationships which eventually develop from it, help make regular blogging a very worthwhile exercise.

Regular blogs can have a multiplier effect on your site’s page count. There are blog host applications which actually engender a unique HTML page for each individual blog entry (i.e. Moveable Type), meaning that a single new blog page can lead to lots of new pages and a real increase in your page rank standings. Search engine indexing of your site is also enhanced, since engines consider larger sites as more apt to provide better and more all-encompassing industry expertise. The more often you blog, the more pages you create and the more frequently your site will be spidered. Companies would do well to try to blog every day, Monday to Friday. Time should probably be set aside for this. Why, you could even blog on the weekends, if your better half does not mind.

Another advantage of regular blogging is that they are relatively search engine-friendly. Invariably written in simple formats which are easy to spider, blog page codes usually contain clean, text rich HTML and are devoid of non-spider-friendly Flash or JavaScript. Also, engines love the naturally written, original content produced by blogs. Google even has its own blog search, enabling users to search for information only found on blogs.

Finally, the number of inbound links attracted to your site will be significantly augmented if you submit your blog to different blog directories. This enables it to be syndicated by an RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication), facilitating the placement of your blog online. Subscribers to you RSS feed would be informed of any new updates or postings. Sites carrying blog feeds and make them available for syndication are also repeatedly spidered on a daily basis, allowing for instant indexing.
