Your History and the Search Engines

Your History and the Search Engines
By Vickie J. Scanlon

You create a history with search engines, through your Domain and Website. What do I mean?


Website-Trust Me

If you are a new site, you are asking the search engines to trust you on blind faith. It’s like having a complete stranger come up to you with a plea that you give him/her $100 with the payback option of –“Trust Me, I’ll pay you back”; Would you believe him? I wouldn’t. Translated, you cannot develop trust within a moment’s time-and that is true with a website.

Your website, if it has been around for a while, will have a history. This is what you want. Why? Because with a history-the search engines gain a greater degree of trust, thus, helping with quicker indexing of your pages.


How To Build Trust

If you are a new site, you will need to gain trust. How?
You need a history for both your domain/web pages. And history is gained through time by:
1. Building Quality Web Pages
2. Your Back Links
3. Your Traffic


Sitemap and Trust

But there is another important factor that is needed to improve the indexing of your web pages. It’s called a sitemap. It’s not just the visual sitemap, but also the site map that is used specifically for and by the search engines.

The sitemap helps the search engine to identify you, your website, and the content on your site. If they understand your site, you will have better placement in the search engines.

To conclude, history is important to the search engines, your website’s future, and your bottom line. Work on your website history, and your website future will improve.
