Go to the Mountain!

There is no guess work necessary when trying to get your web site noticed. You must simply go to the mountain... that mountain being Google.

Google is not trying to hide the criteria they use for setting the rankings. There is no need to buy a book or seek out a psychic. Simply go to Google and setup your Webmaster tools account, it is even free of charge!

There are volumes of information available on Google about Best Practices and enough tools to help you implement them and test it.

Quick question, do you have a robot.txt file? If not then you have obviously not been to the mountain. Now, for extra credit, have you submitted a sitemap file to Google? These are my two favorite questions because they tell me very quickly how much attention is being paid to doing what is necessary to ascend.

All kidding aside, this is not rocket science folks. I know a rocket scientist and let me assure you he does not care about this stuff. I am an engineer but that is not a requirement. What is required is that you spend the time to read the material. If your not willing to do the homework then do not be upset with your page ranking later on.

Tell you what... if you read the material (and I mean really read it) and you still do not understand, just leave a comment here and I will help you right here on this blog.

Love you all!
