In this industry every now and then you run into strange situations and strange client requests so often that it becomes the norm. Some of my favorites are the people who absolutely must get ranked for certain phrases but have a very limited budget. Other times there are people who have budget aplenty but have no ability to wait for Google to register the changes.
At times people feel like it is their right to be in the Google index almost as though Google were part of the global government - It’s my right to be indexed in Google! I’m a citizen of Earth!
Presently I have a company contacting me that does not rank for their own domain name in Google. If you search for their domain it shows that Google has indexed it as the hosting company place holder page. This is fun because we get to see if we can take some steps to get Google to reindex it in a hurry. (How do you rush Google?)
1) Examine Source for Errors
2) Customize Robots.txt
3) Add to Google Webmaster Tools
4) Add to Yahoo Site Explorer
5) Point a couple of hyperlinks to the site from a site that Google spiders regularly
These are the first steps I will take to lead the spiders to Arborview Capital Partners.
