I'm not a huge expert at search engine optimization, and I say this because I like to focus on the SEO that is easy to do and that works. This being said, what I do consider myself an expert in is RSSEO (Really Simple Search Engine Optimization), and I would like to share with you one of the simple techniques that has given me the most success with the search engines.



This little bit of advice involves creating a simple sitemap and submitting that sitemap to the search engines. From what I have seen, this is the number one thing that you can do in order to get Google and other search engines to start spidering your website for content. Once you get them to spider your content, then they can easily index and rank it.

I have a number of blogs on my different sites, and by using this one technique Google has started to spider my blog very frequently which has been able to get me a whole lot of free visitors to my website. This normally doesn't come instantly, but it normally starts a couple of weeks after I submit my sitemap. So, even if your website is completely new, this one technique can still work, and it works because this is what most search engines WANT you to do in order to tell them that you have content on your site worth ranking.

Now, I actually have no idea how to create a sitemap by myself, so I use a simple sitemap creator software program that will create my sitemaps for me. These tools usually only require a few minutes of my time and greatly reduce the confusion of what you should include in these sitemaps.

After you have created your sitemap and uploaded it to your website, you will then just need to head on over to www.google.com/webmasters/tools in order to inform Google of your sitemap. This is also a simplified process which should only take a few minutes of your time.

Soon after you submit your sitemap to Google, you can then log back into your webmasters account and start to see what portions of your website have been spidered by Google (Remember to be patient! This can happen immediately, but will likely take a couple of weeks). You will also be able to see the top keyword phrases that your website has started to be ranked for. After you learn how the whole process works with Google, you can then head on over to Yahoo and other search engines and follow the same steps with their search engines. At the end, I think you will be pretty happy with the results! This is the absolutely best thing I have done for my websites that has improved their search engine rankings.
