Help for new site.PR and google search related.

[Thaparian]

I build a new site recently.I launched it on 18th june.
It contains about 30 pages and zero Page rank.
I submitted my site to google but it cached only homepage of my site.
I have also submitted the sitemap to google but only homepage was cached.

1)Should i submit each page of my site to google?

2) How much time will it take for Page Rank to be updated?

3)I did link exchange with a site of PR = 4/10 about 12 days ago but google has not detected any of links to my site. Whats going on.

Please help ,i need help with my new site.

Hi Thaparian,

Best thing you can do is ignore what the toolbar tells you (uninstall it, it's distracting) and go get some inbound links to your site and keep building more content.

There's no point submitting pages to Google, just make sure you get plenty of inbound links (not link exchanges, one way inbounds).

It takes time. Expect it to take several months before you're ranking for anything useful. Use that time to develop the site and build more content. You'll feel like you're wasting your time for a bit - you need to push through that, the reward comes later.

Keep the navigation simple (easily spiderable with all link URL's absolute) and take care with those page titles.

Whats going on.

Just a normal day in the life of a new webmaster, nothing to be concerned about. We were all there once - you'll get used to it ;)

Don't forget the basics:-

Stick around and keep an eye out for the more detailed threads here - you will learn as you go.

Generate as many inbound links as possible, free and paid for with high PR's and good, relative (but not always) content.

Write good PR, send to as many sites as possible asking them to link to your site.

It will take time, but you will get there in the end. Aim for one or two PR7's (expensive but well worth the investment if you are running an e-commerce site), 10-15 PR6's, 10 PR5's, 10 PR4's.

Good site structure, use words in URLs, not meaningless numbers. Write good content and produce an interesting and professional looking site.

I dont expect to see page rank for 3-4 months for a new site.

My new sites are coming in at PR 5 thru:

1. Directory Sumbissions
2. Article Submissions
3. Forum Participation
4. Asking for links

Get busy for 2 months - get obsessed about links and pr - you'll reap the benefits (in PR anyway) in 3 months.

Traffic should incrementally increase. Bear in mind you'll probably be sandboxed the first 8 months for your top keywords!

OH - AND DONT USE DIRECTORY SUBMISSION SITES. Let the search engines find you - get a link off someone already in Google (even sticky me!)

An incomplete question , how many links do i need?

Somme examples please.

Google does not show links to my site in search.

I did link exchange with a site of PR 4 about 2 weeks ago but google does not detect that link.

I search for link as link:sitedotcom

Should i do link exchange with http preffix or www or [www?...]

[Thaparian]

Should i do link exchange with http preffix or www or ht tp:// www?

[Thaparian]

Nobody helping me :(

Go for one-way inbounds rather than link exchanges.

Ensure that your sites pages only resolve on one URL. Pick either http://www.example.com or http://example.com and then stick with it, 301 redirecting the one you don't want to the one that you do.

Uninstall the Toolbar or simply ignore toolbar PR. You need links from good quality high-ranking sites on your topic, irrespective of what the toolbar tells you, which is historic, not current, data.

Link out to high ranking authority sites that will be useful to your visitors.

How do i ensure to resolve only one url?
I need help.

[trillianjedi]

Have a search for "301 redirect".

You need to redirect the non-www to the www version, or vice-versa depending on your preference.
