A system to index your Catholic articles

Before real-time search and results became available online, it took some time before articles can be indexed in the search engines. When a system is employed for faster indexing, you can get your Catholic articles indexed more efficiently and in real-time. Provided below is a method where you can discover ideas on how to proceed in indexing and publishing your Catholic articles. This method employs online tools.

Suggested methods for faster indexing:

• Basic web development teaches that the more links there are that lead to your pages, the more the search engine spiders can easily crawl these pages, and get them indexed in their database. It is a good strategy to continuously work to have either one-way links to your web pages, or to engage in reciprocal linking. Other ways to index your web pages fast are:
• Another technique is to create an rss feed that summarizes all the updates you have in your site and its network. Once you have created your rss feed, you can submit this feed to rss feed listings and directories. Making a search at Google will provide you with many results rss feed directories to submit your rss feed. (Though at this time the popularity of rss feed technology has faded, it is still nevertheless a basic, traditional and legitimate form of having your site's pages well indexed on the Web.)
• You can also create a request to your site visitors to link to the articles of your web site if they benefitted from it. This way, there will be more inbound links to your Catholic articles. This is called one-way inbound linking.
• You can create a blog (or blogs) on a different domain that updates your readers on any new articles recently published in your web site. Often, with a pre-formatted blog, there is already a blog feed in which the reader can subscribe to the blog's content. You can make it a point to promote your blog feed in your Catholic blog. Once your blog is set up and you have began to maintain it regularly with updated content, you can then add them to blog directories in order to get more incoming visitor traffic to the blog (and also to your Catholic web site, through anchor text links). A good blog hosting service is Blogger.com. With Blogger.com, you can even get a custom domain that contains key words you have employed in your small Catholic web site.
• Create a Google sitemap and then submit it to Google Sitemaps. This ensures that your web pages are indexed in Google's search engine database.
• Optimize well your Catholic articles so that it will be able to land in the first few pages of results in the leading search engines.
• Finally, keep on writing and updating your subscribers with new Catholic articles and other multimedia Catholic content to keep them updated. Publish them conservatively so that you will be able to manage them well (since you have to re-edit them and update these pages from time to time.) With new content published in a Catholic web site, search engines will always return to the web site and let their search engine spiders index whatever is new in the web site. The more unique and quality Catholic articles and blog posts produced in the site, the more the search engines will index your pages.
• Another idea: Always follow propriety when writing Catholic articles; since this is a project of a Catholic individual or family, and not on the level of a parish or diocese, make your readers and subscribers understand that the Catholic articles are written as a to witness to Christ and His gospel in the context of a family setting, a lay vocation, and an initiative done only under the guidance of a Vatican teaching on the Net (Venerable John Paul II's 36th World Communications Day Message). It would also be proper to list down all the resources consulted in the production of the Catholic articles and blog posts in your Catholic and internet network.
• Current trends: Because of the many who use Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, you can also update your Catholic social network with links from your web site and blog, aside from others you may want to share with them. This is publishing in real-time. Publishing online now involves both indexing the regular way (through search engines) and in real-time (through social networks).
