It’s Day 7 and the final day of Module 2 for The Challenge in 2010. And we’ve come a long way.

By now you will have a WordPress blog up and live on the Internet and we have prepared it to be as optimized as it can be for your Theme keyword. Another way of saying this is that you are fully on-page optimized for your main target keyword.

In today’s lesson, we are going to take action to get the search engines and especially Google to recognize that your site exists. Some of you may already have been indexed by Google just because of the nature of WordPress as a site publishing solution but depending on the competitiveness of your micro-niche we may need to give Google (and the other search engines) a bit of a nudge…and that is what today is all about:

In todays video, Michael Roberts will introduce you to the concept of indexing and show how Traffic Bug can help considerably in getting your site indexed. On thing to remember though, while Traffic Bug may assist considerably in this indexing phase it is not a replacement for the link-building and off-page work you will need to do later on.

And that brings Module 2 to an end. After a weeks break, we will commence Module 3 and that will be all about off-page optimization which has the aim of engineering authority for your site so as to increase the probability that it will rank well in the search engines for the keyword/s you are targeting.
