When you are trying to get any page ranked, you’ll need to have at least one link to it, or the Google bot won’t find it. That single link could be in your sitemap, or you could paste it into the Google Webmaster tools. I found that one of the most effective ways to get the Google bot racing across the web to my latest page is to send an email to one of my Gmail accounts with the link in it.

These are all places that the Google bot watches closely for new data, and a new link is new data. I call this jiggling the web. I relate it to a spider web where the struggles of a trapped insect attract the host spider’s attention. The slightest jiggle gets attention fast and a rapid reaction. But if you poke the spider with a stick, they’ll run away and hide. It appears to me that the Google bot pays more attention to jiggles than direct pokes. That single link won’t often rank your site very highly, but you will be on their list of places to visit. Then, when they find your link to the same page in multiple other places, you’ll begin to get some traction and ranking points. Reply if that does or doesn’t make sense. Regards, P.S.

The problem is that it can become difficult to think up new and different words or phrases for the anchor. Sure, you can use the href, as I do in my emails, but that’s not suitable for a blog post, mostly. You can use click here or just click, but that can look ugly as well. So I’m sharing a web page I stole years ago with a massive list of anchor text ideas. The website is now defunct, which means this may be the only copy in existence. Grab it and use it because it’ll help your ranking efforts. https://link.wm-tips.com/AnchorTextList. This is a no-cost bonus only for those smart enough to open my email or read . |
