How Fast Can Get Spidered?

Spider, SEO

[sewpersbider]

I made a website for myself and did SEO myself. And am eagerly waiting for visitors. I wonder how fast can my website get spidered? I can't wait to see traffic.*grin*

That’s hard to predict.

If you made your SEO right and have gotten links form well ranking sites and the SE’s are indexing, it could take as little as a day.

If the SE’s has just finished indexing it will take a month.

If you don’t have any links it could take anywhere form three to six month.

If you have made some kind of error in your pages, you might get banned and never get indexed

And there's a big difference between getting spidered and getting ranked well. If another site links to yours, you're probably already spidered. As for ranking well, you'll need a lot of content and a fair number of inbound links.

I am also new to website design and have just created my first website. Can you tell me what is the best way to get high ranking links?

[MichaelBluejay]

What do you mean, "high ranking links"? You mean links from sites that have a high PageRank? I wouldn't bother looking at the PR rating of another site. Solicit links from sites that are relevant to yours and which are high quality, regardless of their PR.

As for how to get them to link to you, (1) Link to them first, (2) Build an awesome website that they will WANT to link to because it will be valuable to their readers, (3) Tell them you linked to them and invite them to link back if they like.

Never make your link to them contingent on whether they link back.

To BritBrat and sewpersbider.
One way to ascend in the rankings of the search engines is getting links from sites that rank high in the SERPs (search engines result pages). Maybe you can call them "high ranking links." The page ranking (PR) is a term used by Google and identifies just one of the factors they take into account when ranking sites. Follow the sound advice given by MichaelBluejay.

How about I ask my ebay seller friend to add my website to their shop to get spidered? Does that count? Or only a homepage link to my website would help?

You need to radically change your perspective. Put all of your effort into making your site as good as possible. Quality sites rank high, period. The cream rises to the top. If you have a good site, people will link to you without your asking them to. As soon as you start posting to the message boards about whether such and such link "counts", you have a big problem. I have top rankings for money terms across lots of different domains, and I didn't get them by obsessing over links. I got them by building quality.

OK understood. Thanks for the advice I will just concentrate on building a decent site.

Excellent! Do that, and you'll be ahead of most of your competition. :)
