Getting a New Site Indexed by Search Engines

I have just completed developing a new website for a Aesthetics Clinic – KW Chan Medical Clinic and Surgery. The domain name is brand new!

Now the important task of getting it indexed by Search Engines, and then getting a higher ranking in them.

To test how long it takes for a site to be indexed first, and then how long, how much effort does it take to get a higher ranking in search engines, I am going to test and document my results here, so that I can learn and suggest ways to improve my methods.

First of all, I added unique titles and meta tag information to each page on this aesthetics clinic website.

Next, I am NOT planning to submit this site to the Search Engines like Google and Yahoo via their standard “Submit a Site” links. This is because I have heard and read that the search engines have a huge backlog of URLs to spider, and this method takes weeks and months. Some sites explicitely suggest to completely “avoid” this method.

Instead, I am planning to get some links from other sites that I own to this new site. This is called Link Building. And I want to test if a site can be indexed faster if the search engines “FIND” a site link on another linked site, or by “SUBMITTING” it to their “To Be Spidered” list.

So today, I have planted a link to the site on my Medical Web design Company, from which I designed this website. I then planted another link from our Singapore based SEO Company Website, which does all the SEO and SEM for our clients.

My next strategy on getting this site indexed was to post about it on this blog, which your are reading now. I am not sure how a link from a blog site will help. So let’s see…

This is it so far… What am I doing correctly? What am I doing wrong? What suggestions do you have? Where else can I promote the website? Please advice.

Cheers,
