Indexing and Ranking

After launching my first blog Max Kalles to test how fast it would get indexed and then begin to rank, I'm happy to announce that Yahoo has finally indexed the site and I'm now ranked first for the keyword phrase coolest red headed canadian. Yahoo was the first search engine to index this blog, followed by MSN, all the web, and Alta Vista. Google still hasn't indexed the site which may be because of their sandbox feature.

When launching new websites from our experience it is much quicker to get indexed in Yahoo and MSN and start to rank on their first pages before Google. The main reason is the Google sandbox, and this is important for people to take into consideration when a new site is created. You can't expect to rank number one overnight and have to plan your marketing accordingly. One of the ways to guarantee that you rank in Google right from the beginning is to take advantage of Google adwords in the sponsored links section of the search engine. Google adwords is a great way to drive traffic to your website. If you are interested in learning more about Adwords and how it can benefit your business you can attend one of our Internet seminars.
