SEO Information and News Blog

I was reading this great article 13 tips to get your blog noticed written by john. But i think he has written few points which can hurt you SERPs, so i thought to blog about it.

So here are 10 important tips to get your blog noticed:

1. If you publish directly through wordpress then you can add this List of Ping Services for automatic pinging after every post. Simply add the list in your admin under Options…Writing after scrolling to the bottom of the page.
2. Submit your blog to all of the directories listed on Pingomatic which allows you to ping a few services all at once.
3. Submit your blog to Pingoat which allows you to ping over fifty blog ping services all at once.
4. Submit your blog to all of the directores listed at RSS Feeds directory
5. Sign up for My Yahoo & My MSN and add your blogs feed to your own “My Yahoo” & “My MSN” account. This will get your blog included in Yahoo & MSN very quickly.
6. Sign up for Google Pages, and add add some content (non spam) and link to your blog. This will get your blog included in Google very quickly.
7. Place a link to your blog in your signature, so that any posts to Forums & add your RSS feed( There are some forums which allow you to add the RSS feed of your blog which will be displayed in the Postbit Template), Outgoing Emails, etc, will promote your blog.
8. Submit your good articles to Ezine Articles
9. Locate blogs with a lot of traffic and place relevant comments in their comment box . Do not spam or place the ‘I like your site,visit mine’ type comments.
10. And last, post quality content as often as possible.

There are two important points John has written in his blog which I think can hurt your SERPS:

1. Place your blog on all the major search engines. AddMe.com will submit your blog free to the top 14 Search engines.
2. SubmitExpress.com will submit your blog free to the top 20 Search engines.

I think you should never use Automatic Submition tools like Addme.com or SubmitExpress.com. This Can really hurt your search engine rankings.

Infact I think that you should never do manual submisstion to any search engine too. Thats because,

1. The natural way for any search engine spiders to find your site is to either directly come to your site periodically( which means that your site is registered, so you don’t need to add your site, doing this will decrease your site’s ranking).
2. But if your site is not registered in any search engine, and you use submission page of the search engine, then it means that you are actually forcing the search engines to include our site to their database…so allthough they will add your site may be after 4-5 weeks but your rankings will be poor.

So I think the best way to get your site registered to any search engine is to get a backlink from any other site (which has Atleast Google PR 1). Getting a back link from PR7-8 site will get your site registered in just 1 day, or getting a backlink from PR 5 site like mine will get your site registered in 3-5 days.

Tell me if you agree with my views about Addme.com or SubmitExpress.com ? And, if you like to add any other important points, than plz add here in the comments section.
