Link Indexing Thoughts

[OnlineAssetPartners]

We have have several promotional Articles put out for a few client sites, (posted on sites - not article directories)

That was in Sept, it looks like they have not yet been indexed - any ideas on best to get them indexed?

Not just these, but a lot of external links indexed quickly -Google seem to be slowing getting to them (big web after all....)

Hey Downunder SEO.

First, make sure the articles are posted on high-quality websites. The web is crawled in order of PR from highest to lowest. Low quality sites probably are _not _going to hep your link profile anyway.

Second, make sure the articles are all unique content. If you send the same article to multiple sites, Google may not index all of them. Matt Cutts has publicly said Google is against using article marketing to build links.

Third, make sure the websites you posted the articles on are accessible to search engines. Check their robots.txt to confirm that the pages are not blocked. (you can use the SEOmoz bar to easily check this or you can visit for http://domain.com/robots.txt)

Fourth, read this blog post (it's on our blog, so this is self-promotion.)

Thanks- Always original content - that's for sure. Maybe I will have to link to the articles from my PR 2 and go from there....

Thanks
