Website Flipping - Other Ways to Generate Traffic to Your Flip Site

Press Releases

You can tell people about your new site through online press releases. There are multiple places you can go to submit a press release. Just Google them and then submit a free press release to various sites. It can even be the same one. But, don't forget to add the URL going back to your site so that you get that boost in traffic too. And, if you are using this strategy to get you indexed better in search engines, you might also want to tell your potential buyers how many press releases are out there and the efforts you put into marketing the site and increasing exposure. They will really appreciate that.

Google SiteMaps

You can create an entire site map for your site using the Google SiteMaps tool. A site map actually crawls your entire website and then spits out all the URLs of each of the pages on your site. This gives a bird's eye view of the content and organization of your site as is specifically used to facilitate search engine indexing. The nice thing about Google SiteMaps is that it isn't just for Google. You can take the same site map and submit it to Yahoo! And other major search engines too. This makes it easier for them to see what you have on your site too and helps them to index your site better, without having to necessarily crawl your entire site. You've already done it for them.

Some people don't know that without a site map, the spider that crawls your website will using start at the home page and work it's way from this page to any other pages on the site, based on the links on the front page. Without a site map, the spider may miss pages and links that are essential to bringing people in to see them. If they are missed, they are not indexed. If they are not indexed, they won't have a chance to ranked on result pages and fewer people will find them. So, you do want a site map embedded in your home page to make it easy for search engines, and barring that, you want to submit the site map manually to the search engines.

Add Your Site Manually To Search Engines

The other way to get indexed quickly is to manually submit your URL to the major search engines. That way, they don't have to stumble across your website URL from all the other content they are indexing daily. Instead, you go to Yahoo! Or MSN.com and you submit the URL yourself. To submit your site to Yahoo! You will have to go here: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit . To submit your site to MSN.com you will have to submit your site here: http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx .

Add Your URL To Directory Listings

Another great way to increase exposure and become indexed quickly is to submit your site to directory listings. You want to put it in the appropriate category and search out multiple online directories to add your URL.

These are just a few of the ways you can get greater exposure on the Internet and quickly indexed by major search engines. You don't have to go whole hog and do every single one for each web site you create. You can, however, do multiple sites at once and that will make it more time effective. Just pick a couple of strategies to try and a few of your web sites, and do these in batches. That way, you get done much quicker and you don't have to flip back and forth from one web page to another for each web site.
