| How much traffic can being featured on Google homepage give you ? Posted: 08 Nov 2009 11:40 AM PST
 The whole of internet. Easy guess right ? Lets try and find out. All of you might have noticed that last week starting November 4th, Google started featuring the Sesame Street characters on its homepage with special doodles celebrating its 40th Anniversary.
And clicking on the doodle would take you to a search page with the first page listing of Sesamestreet.org. I was wondering how much traffic the site might have received during these days ! its a seven day long process and its only half way through, but its good to check the numbers right ? Now, I know this is not the same as "being featured on the homepage" means but this is as close to it. Let's see what Alexa says.
It cannot give the exact numbers but the graph explains it all. There's a humungous spike in traffic and the real numbers would be amazing to see. If only the webmaster shared it with us. |

 Not sure if you've noted this already. Its been online for a while now, but I haven't mentioned it on the blog yet, so here it is.
Its a special box that appears with a flight icon, when searching for terms such as "Fly Cochin Dubai" or any two places in that format. Interestingly the links go to travel sites with a pre-populated date (which you can enter right from the serps) Seen anything interesting like this on Google ? |

 Submitting to search engines, technically means applying for an inclusion to the search index of a search engine. Some SEOs treat this as a service, offering different methods for new websites to get listed on the search engines, but in my opinion this is a very basic necessity every webmaster must go through. Submitting websites to search engines is an obsolete concept in my opinion, rather get them to index the sites, the other way round. Why its good ? - Gives you more value, as a website. So how to get indexed by search engines the easy way ?1. Get a good authority website to link to you. (Try Link Building Strategies 1, 2,3) And in my opinion, option 1 (in links) is the best way to get indexed, the right way. I've explained here why. What in your opinion is the best way to get indexed on search engines, may be share the experience on your blog ? |
