Search engines starting to find CelebrityBlender
July 9th, 2007 by Robert
With less than a week of being live, Google and Yahoo have both sent organic search results to the site. This is wonderful news, as I’m banking on organic searches to really find the site and drive traffic as opposed to other marketing options. As I mentioned in a previous post my other blog has sent the vast majority of the 239 visitors and 359 page views, but with the search engines starting to give it some acceptance I’m looking forward to see what the next couple of weeks will bring.
While I am glad that Google has sent a couple visitors, I’m not as surprised as I am with Yahoo. For Google I used their webmaster tools to tell it about my sitemap file. I’m not sure how Yahoo found me so quickly though. One thing you can do however is tell all the search engines about your sitemap file by adding the URL to your robots.txt file like:
sitemap: http://www.celebrityblender.com/sitemap.xml
That way when a search engine (or any bot for that matter) finds your site, it will look at your robots.txt file and it will see that there is a sitemap file and use that for indexing your site.
Of course it doesn’t hurt to manually submit your site to search engines either
