Have you ever put a great deal of time into writing the perfect article for your blog, only to check back a week later and see that it’s only been viewed and shared a few times? This may be a frustrating sight, but don’t get discouraged! Even if activity has been close to negligent, your blog is still getting publicity from Google indexing.
How Indexing Works
Just as the index in a box marks a page with information on a keyword, Google uses an index to mark certain pages on the Internet with keywords and store them for later user searches. Google does this by using a search program called a Web crawler to systematically comb through millions of website pages and pull out keywords. All of these are stored in an immense index that is connected to its search engine. When a Google user searches a keyword, the index summons all of its page results under that keyword, sorts and ranks them using personalized information, and presents them to the user, all in a fraction of a second. Your blog article could be listed under any number of keywords, and will show up to anyone who searches for one of them.
How To Improve Your Indexing
There are several steps you can take to ensure that Google indexes your page for the best SEO rankings. One of the easiest of this is to create and implant a sitemap to help the Web crawler find and search each page easier. Other methods of optimization include adding a picture of yourself with every blog post, writing page descriptions, and making sure that there are no grammatical errors in your page titles.
