Must do search engine optimization tactics for your blog

Have you been wondering why google is not indexing your blog posts? Have you been posting search engine optimized keyword rich posts but still no results? It’s such a situation that almost every new blog faces. So did my blog. Right after a few posts on BareFly.com I have started to notice that no engine spider visits my blog. Well I was able to solve my problem and now google is indexing my pages on a regular basis.

So how did I do it? To learn more continue reading.

Banned domain?
It’s been a long time that I have been looking for a cute little domain for my blog. It was almost impossible to find a good little domain because all the good domains are already fetched. Then all of a sudden barefly.com caught my eyes. I almost immediately fetched the domain giving not a single second to think why is it still free to register. I figured the domain on a list of expired domain names by the way. So when I figured search engines aren’t listing my blog hosted on barefly.com, the fear of owning a banned domain was rising high. I did a quick search on all the major search engines and on archive.org for any pages listed. I figured all the major search engines had no match on barefly.com. It made me believe that barefly.com isn’t an already banned domain name. If barefly.com was banned by google, it must have some pages still listed on yahoo and vice versa. If it’s banned by all the search engines, it will have something about it on archive.org. Just as I wasn’t able to find anything about the domain, It made me believe that no one ever used it before. So the problem wasn’t about a banned domain but you guys must do a quick search on all the major search engines and on archive.org to make sure you aren’t going to buy a banned domain.

Just to give you some clue, If you aren’t sure whether your domain is a banned one, do a site:yourdomain.com search on all the major search engines. Do a search on archive.org to see if anything is listed their. If anything is listed on archive.org about the domain and other search engine’s doesn’t have any match, chances are your domain is banned.

My domain is not banned, what to do next?
