Please help, I'm about to launch a new blog

"Tech News" blog means you grow as you go..

Better to concentrate on design / domain / installation / plugins as to make it look good and interactive useful for readers..

As for content, you will increase as you go, keep on posting news..

If you talk about launching from better platform for SEO, then buy a "premium" domain with already having better PR and backlinks

then buy a "premium" domain with already having better PR and backlinks

And then the PR and backlinks wll be nulled by Google in a few days or months as it can recognise that the domain now hosts a completely new website!

by that time user will create more of its own

But Google may penalise the blog for trying to cheat it. Who knows what Google has in its mind! 

I hope that I get some valuable advice from this thread on how to gain backlinks without posting comments / guest posting! 

And then the PR and backlinks wll be nulled by Google in a few days or months

Google does not remove or nulled any backlinks or PR....It does not matter what domain host now...All it matters You Already Have Backlinks....

I have a domain which is around 9 years Old and dropped two or three times but still carries backlinks from 2004....

Actually I wanna lnow how to index it within 24 hours.....So do I need to launch the blog 5-6 posts...?? and then Submit it to GWT and BWT...???

Why do you want to be so fast? Slow and steady wins the race. 

To see if an answer exists for your question, I have googled it and all the pages talked of things most of us already know: adding it to Google Webmaster Tools, submission to blog directories, social bookmarking, guest blogging, commenting and so on.

But remember that if you do all these things at once, Google may consider it as unnatural linking - too many links in too little time.

i guess 1 or 100 google will come to a new domain at same pace.. But if you be regular with your posting frequency and that matches your site maps decleration like which page shoul;d be checked by the crawler how often, then it indexes fast and indexes good 

So what will be the ideal time to include the new blog to Google Webmaster Tools and other directorties?? After a week...??? having around 10 posts.....???

Unfortunately, no one can specify a concrete number. I think it doesn't really matter as to when you include your site on Google Webmaster Tools. 

About adding to directories - Post a few news articles - may be 5-10, and add your blog only to good directories like IndiBlogger, BlogAdda, Technorati - not on the same day but gradually - may be to 3 or 4 directories per week. Balance that with commenting and guest posts. The real backlinks are those that come without your interference when people mention about you/ your blog in their posts or link to your posts in forum discussions. 

The reason to add your blog to directories only after having a few quality posts is that some people keep track of new blogs. If they stubmle across your blog and find hardly any articles, they would be disappointed.

i would say, keep posting and and always keep google a step behind in indexing you, that always keeps the bots interested in you 

Wonderful Statement @ Hunky 

Yaa...I will keep posting.....I think I should add the sitemap to the webmaster tools around a week later......I think that will be the right time to get it indexed....

Nice observation.....Actually I love to use the dots at the end of a sentence......there's no special reason for that I just love it, and you know na love has no particular reasons :-P ...Now days it has became a habit too....

Even I had that doubt but never bothered to ask! 

Designing site map is also a very important thing, for example, of the feature of site map is to tell bots if it needs to come back to an already indexed page at a certain time interval..

For example, if you expect a post to have updates, then edit site map as per expected update schedule and do make sure post get changes so that bots remember and dont return empty, most of us dont do it, even I dont (lack of time and interest) but thinking pro, you should take care of that too..

If expecting posts to get no update design as per that and keep return schedule at an higher interval 

No need to wait for 10 or more post..You can submit your blog or website url with a single post or no post....

Google will index your site even without any post.....

There is only one secret to Quick Indexing in Google

"Twitter"   It is proved that more than 5 retweets can increase the Indexing speed upto 80%.. Rest depends on your Blog Vital metrices...

Google Indexes some of my post under half an hour...

You can see a live example by searching wpindiblog in google..

I have submitted this domain to WMT when i bought this domain...

Its now indexed.....by bing,google and other Search engine...

I will launch this blog just after the Pagerank Update....   I know that time it will have Pagerank 2...

I think one should concentrate more with content as without good content, no matter how much SEO you do, result would not be beneficial..

Create a great blog. Write great and unique articles. Use keywords carefully and within limits. Do not spam other blogs with your comments and links - Google will take time to understand your blog but will respect your blog and eventually rank great. There is no need to get your pages indexed within 24 hours. Be prepared to wait about a year to get the recognition you deserve in Google. Any shortcuts to get fast results could put your blog in trouble in the long run.

not everyone is ready to wait for that due time and thus "SEO" shows us a dream of shortcut to the success 

That shortcut leads to short term success if something goes wrong! 

May be, but when the whole world around is trying the same, you never know when that malpractice has become good practice 

malpractice has become good practice

Let's hope that they don't. 

Just post the stuff from the hands of your imagination and touch of self.

Content is king but SEO is Queen

If you don't have SEO optimized Website then you are losing 50% traffic....

Google has incorporated WebPage Loading Speed in its Ranking Algorithm few years back....

So Starting a blog with SEO optimized can increasing your overall ranking in SERPs...

There are many methods to get backlinks "more than 50"

Some of proven strategy are

Blog interlinking, directory submission, Press release, Theme with footer links, Forum Signature links and Social Network. There are some tricks which you can follow to get do follow Backlinks from Social Networks like Facebook, Twitter.

There should be some option to put Signature link in Indiblogger Forum.....

I have succesfully launched my blog, and Google has altready indexed it... :-) (I haven't forced the big G to index first, it indexes my blog automatically).....Now I'm waiting for the IB approval for it.....However, I would appreciate your visit on my new Tech News blog.....Just Google "TechStake" (Plesae search With Quotes).....

Glad to see that your site is already indexed and showing up in Google. 

I too had launched a site and Google indexed it even before it was launched - The Coming Soon page with no baclinks from anywhere and now, Google still shows a preview of that same old Coming Soon page. 

Waht's the name?? I wanna have a look at it, and please look at my one too.....

Just now, I've realized one stupid thing I've done. For testing or some other thing, I've posted one of the articles on a temporary blog I've created some weeks back. And I've posted the same article on my actual website too!  May be Google thought something bad about my new website! 

Waht's the name??

The name is JavaWithUs. I doubt if it would be of any use to you.  You can find the link in my IB profile.

I would love to be a loyal reader of ur blog 

You will definitely be the first person on my 'to mail' list when I look for guest bloggers. 

@Aditya / Ranjit..

lol.. So much for SEO and all that.. even no yet launched stuff is also indexed... lol.. 

even no yet launched stuff is also indexed

I will give a chocolate to that person who would be able to explain me as to why that 'Launching Soon' page was indexed even with no backlinks! 

• Some one visitied your page from a browser which has Google Tool bar and google got to know about the new URL
• Some one visited your page using Google Chrome which logged into Google account hence google logged the url which they do for so called better search result and got to know about your website.
• your hosting provider autometically submitted the website to google as many does as free service.
• your domain seller autometically notified google that new website, many does.

so many ways Google takes to find better content as because Google knowns, unless they can serve content required by users, they will be dumped as their page will be flooded by SEO expert with no content but all SEO stuff 

So many theories! You definitely deserve a chocolate! 

The only problem is that Google indexed what it shouldn't and is refusing to index what it should. 

ranjit.. they only way to stop, use robot file 

Why would I be thinking of using robots.txt file even before launching my site to block the 'Coming Soon' page from being indexed? 

Actually, the problem is that when I google 'site:mysitename',  my website is being diplayed but the text snippet shows

'JAVA WITH us. Coming Soon...'

which means that my site isn't yet indexed after launching it.

It's not that I still have that 'Coming soon' page and I can prevent it from being indexed.
