SEO for high speed indexation?
Is that fast or what ?
One thing that some web masters/web managers tend to forget is one of the basic rules of SEO (search engine optimisation). This rule, which should even be called this mantra, is “build content for your visitors FIRST”. Most of the people wishing to do SEO concentrate on SEO and search engines and not on this “mantra”. What they also forget is that if this content is really user-oriented, it IS essentially search engine oriented. Once this is done, there is but little SEO to be done.
The experiment.
I usually tend to follow my pages’ progression in search engine results pages and this time I had a real surprise. Yesterday I posted a review of Eservices‘ portfolio and I don’t remember why I had to do it but I searched for “Eservices Mauritius” on Google to check something out. This is where things went crazy. The post was published at 2 pm (shown 3 pm on the blog). I did the search about 30 minutes later and the post was already in Google’s first page.
Questions and assumptions!
- Was the Google bot already on my site indexing content when I published the review?
- I was thinking of a 1% keyword optimisation for this post. So is it the real deal, 1%?
- What about popularity? I feel like the Web Design Bureau has left the Google sandbox since late December 2008.
- 99% sure assumption: Google is giving more importance to fresh content! Does this mean that a niche blog gets more visibility?
Conclusion
All in all this shows that basic SEO rules and usage are still paying off. Content optimisation and content quality are still highly prized by the Googlebot. Keyword density still has its importance and fresh, updated content is getting more visibility by search engine indexation bots.

Thats good. Do you use google trends? At times I do look for some keywords there but am still a bit like alien to it…
Maybe there is something i dnt take into consideration.. keyword density. I should try using my selected keywords more in the specific post.
No I don’t use Google Trends for this. It might be a good idea though. The trouble is that Google Trends will give you only those keywords typed in the US. What you should do is to think of your keywords before starting your content. Look how it behaves in Google, number of results, easily found or not, content quality, who’s competing on the same keywords to see what type of work you have to do. Then use those keywords at around 1% to 3% of the whole content. It must be balanced otherwise you’ll fall into keyword spam.
