Getting Your Site Indexed in Search Engines Before It’s Launched

Launching a new site is a lot of work and it can be very frustrating to have to wait several months before it’s indexed in google and the other major search engines.

Adam McFarland describes how to get your site indexed before it’s launched. The method he describes involves getting a web page up and then getting links from other sites pointing to your site. While he recommends getting a “coming soon” page with some information about your site and expected launch date, you can also get your actual home page copy up and then tweak it later when the rest of the content for your site is complete.

Adam recommends getting links from other blogs and websites. He also suggests writing articles for article directories as a method of getting links.  These are all excellent ideas. I have often noticed that once some of my clients get just one link from another site, their site starts showing up in the rankings.
