SEO Experiment : Day 1

It has been one week since I started thi blog. None of the 3 major earch engines have visited the site yet. A search for binaryday.com did not return any result. :(

I am going to follow a step by step approach to lure the search engines to this website. While I do that I intend to note down my findings on this post on a regular basis. There will be a time period of 3 days between any 2 steps. That will slow down my march to the top of the search engines. However I think exactly which step worked will be worth the delay.

Day 1: Submitting the Sitemap 

My blog uses wordpress. I used the following plugin to create the sitemap http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/#P18DL The advantage is that this will continue to update the sitemap as the content on my blog changes.

Next I go to the google webmaster central at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ and submitted the sitemap. Then I head to yahoo site explorer at https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ and submitted the sitemap.
