Site Building-- a few issues

load_runner · 06-09-2009, 04:25 AM

Hi all,

I have just recently decided to make my own site. The site is currently running on Drupal and have also got a blog installed on a subdomain.

I have a few questions :

1. I have tried to submit my site to google and they have begun indexing it.. but whatever sitemaps i've tried to submit, there is some problem or the other with it.
i used xml-sitemaps.com for creating sitemaps but google has found some error in it. what should i do to get a proper google recognizable site map ?

2. what do you think is better for SEO purposes --

blog.mydomain.com or mydomain.com/blog ??

currently i have created a blog.mydomain.com but would like to know if it is the right way ahead.

3. what all can i do to get my site to be indexed faster on google, yahoo and bing ?

Please help me out.

PS: my site is ashwinz.com

I guess this has been discussed a lot, they are of the same significance for SEO purposes.

The only thing that will help you to get indexed quickly is quality content and enough links from serious resources.

^ ok but now I have a different kinda problem:

Google Indexed my site {or atleast thats what I feel ... cos I'm able to google search my domain name Ashwinz.com and it does get listed there.}
but now the problem is that whenever I search for my site by using my domain name I only get

Index of /
{blah blah litespeed server etc etc etc}

Shouldn't Google be displaying my site name alteast ? {Yahoo does that} or is it fine if it doesn't display the site name ?

for a indexing in google just care of your content and make some back links for your web page.

Sitemap is a good way to feed Google. The alternative is to make the links on your page crawlable by spiders. These links include navigation menu links, links to pages deep inside the website, etc. Search engine spiders are intelligent enough to follow links and as long as you give them good links, they can find out your entire site, no sitemap is needed.
