The major work for your site is done after design and publishing - or is it?

You have pin-pointed your niche, have done your keyword research and found your business edge. You optimized the text in your copy to reflect the preferred keywords and spent hours designing the most perfect template for your site. Your web site is published after many hours of absolute slave work. You have created great images, excellent colors and have inserted your auto-responder code for signing customers up. You desperately need this site indexed in Google so that customers can find you. So is the major work done - not yet my dear reader.

Step one: Create a blog on your site
Use the commercial script library inside your hosting panel to create a blog on your site. This installation can be in the root folder or in a directory named after one of your main keywords. Install a blog plug-in that will create an XML sitemap and continuously update it as new posts are added to the blog. Ensure that you configure your ping services under the Settings / Writing / Update Services. Create at least four unique, original keyword relevant posts on this blog.

Step two: Create a sitemap
Here is a unique twist. Although there are various extremely good sitemap creator software options on the web, you can use the XML sitemap plug-in to do this for you. It can be set to automatically create the sitemap and also automatically update the sitemap after posts to your blog. The plug-in can be configured to place the sitemap in the blog folder or in any other location within your site. It would be preferable to have the sitemap located in the root folder. You can also configure the plug-in to include other sub-folder pages of your site in the sitemap.

Step Three: Create another blog
Create another blog at one of the main free blogging sites using your main keyword as the name of this blog. Obviously this should not cost anything. Create another 2 unique, original keyword relevant posts on this additional blog. Use H1 and keyword bolded tags pointing to your blog or main site index page in these posts.

Step Four: Submit your site to the search engines
If you do not have a search engine webmaster tools account, create an account, using one of the free mail services, to access the webmaster tools. Use that mail address to create a master search engine webmaster tools account. Log into the search engines webmaster tools account, add your site and follow the prompts to tell the search engines where the sitemap is located on your web site.

That is it. I have seen results within 4 hours, but typically rather allow approximately 18 hours for the first result to appear.
