There's a nice little thing called Google that has more to offer than most realize. They own Blogger.com as most people know, but what most don't know is how easy it is to get indexed and ranked using Blogger. You may not get ranked as well in Google, but MSN will get you where you want almost immediately.

First you need to set up a blogger account if you don't have one already. Now alot of you pro-seoers out there are going to feel that this is below you, don't let your pride keep you from the most effective marketing technique out there!

Next set up your blog using the SEO strategies you already know. Now go to MSN.com.

Type in your new blog address in the MSN search field. After pressing the search button you will see a message that tells you the site could not be found. You will also see a little link that says "Send the address to us". Click that!

You will now see a form with an image verification and a field for entering the URL. Just put your new blog address there and submit the form. Within 24 hours or less you will get indexed, and more importantly you'll be indexed according to the optimization you did in creating the blog. Pretty simple, but most people pass this step up.

We created a blog with our desired keywords and were indexed by MSN within 18 hours for "work at home reviews" and ranked in the #8 spot! That's from no website to 8 out of 8 million in 18 hours. Talk about a jaw dropper!

Obviously this technique can be used for regular sites as well, I've just found that blogs are generally "liked" more by the search engines. Furthermore there's a little secret to getting your blogs indexed well for specific keywords and phrases that I teach in my ebook. So that's it! Have fun.
