OK I was right (I hate admitting when I'm wrong) It finally happened - we got indexed. Turns out I was being Impatient. Well I suppose when you are a multi billion pound empire, you can afford to take a bit longer then expected. Google - Ill let you off for now.
The purpose of this mission was to get google to our blog without spending any money and that has been accomplished. Thank god for that. Now all I need is some chilli sauce, a bean pole and a porsche for my next blog entry.
Keeping you posted.

Mission 1 - A little info on indexing.
Hope you enjoyed your cuppa. PG Tips is the best. Wanna fight about it?? Fine..get lost and read someone else's blog.....ha ha I win. Oh the joys.
For those of you who are serial PG Tips drinkers here's a bit on Search Engine Indexing.
Method for those that have a mental capacity of a knat
1) Go to http://www.google.com/addurl.html
2) Put in your URL
3) Get Sandboxed. (Don't know what getting sandboxed is? Try buying a cat or asking the oracle of all knowledge).
Before you ask - yes I have done this method. My brain capacity has increased since. Stop laughing at me. Everyone was a noob at some point.
Method for those who have increased from mental capacity of a knat
Ok Search Engines crawl the web using something called a webcrawler (funnily enough). These web crawlers find links on websites and then follow these links to other websites. The sites at the end of them usually get indexed. See simples (Now where did that come from?) Now what you need to know is these links are called backlinks.
So what have you learnt??....Nothing. I suggest you follow method 1.
Backlinks are links from other peoples sites to yours. The Idea is to get links from pages with a high pagerank to yours. I am not going to go into pagerank just yet. I will touch on it later but all you know pagerank measures the importance of a website from 0 to 10 (being the highest). Basically it works like this.
Search Engines crawl high pagerank sites 3 or 4 times a day. When your link is added to these sites, search engines follow this link and jump to your site. What happens then....your site gets indexed! Now when searching google you should always try to get a link from a site with a page rank of 6 or higher. The reason for this is links from high pagerank sites get your site indexed quicker
How do I get my link on these sites???
The Article Method
OK say you have got a website about pig farming which has not been indexed yet. Write an article about pig farming and include your link at the bottom of the article. For Example http://www.thepigfamer.com. What you do then is post it on an article site. For Example eZines.com
When the Search Engine crawls the article website, they will follow the link at the end of your article and go to your website. Once crawled, your website will usually be indexed in a few days. The tip is to duplicate on other article sites. As a rule of thumb its always better to change your article slightly. Google likes that.
The Begging Method
For those of you that like to eat humble pie. Google the broadest keyword you can think of that your website relates to. Look for websites with that high page rank and find their contact information. Next you should send them an email asking if they will link you yours if you link to theirs. If you act in a professional manner there is no reason why they should refuse you....well unless of course you are a weirdo and they dont like you. But no one is perfect.
From a serious note - think of a good reason, be professional and you should not have too many difficulties.
Just a quick note. This article includes my own interpretation of the advice I have followed from Grizzly's website - The god of internet marketing.
There are other ways to get your site/blog indexed. Some pretty rapidly. What was important was that you understood that it takes backlinks from a high pageranking site to get your blog indexed quickly. Search arround on google and see what you can come up with. Failing that - I recommend SEO Elite (See top right of my blog). It costs a bit but well worth the money if you are into professional blogging.

Mission 1 - Get Google to my site without spending a penny.
OK Getting Google to my site without spending a penny.
OK Brand new website, New content, Submit to google??.....erm No The only way you are going to get google to your site is by hardwork. What??? you say...Well I did say this was not a scam. If you want I can put up a crappy eBook so you feel special. I'll even charge you the astonomical amount of £76.00 if you want me to. When you contact me for a refund Ill say NO!!!
For those who like hardword, A bit of information on Search Engines....
Search Engines allow you to find the information you seek on the World Wide Web. When you search you will be presented with a list of results called hits. These hits will be ranked in the order that the search engine deems the most relevant. Every search engine has an index that it compares to the search term and then delivers the most relevant content.
By getting added to a search engines index you are enabling your website to be seen by the goliaths of the search industry. (Please no jokes about the davids of the search industry.) The day I see a david take down a goliath I will dance naked covered in mayonaise. Thats like saying Bing is going to take down Google. Its not going to happen.
Jokes aside our first port of call is getting google to our site. How are we going to do this. Simple... Get indexed.
By getting indexed (ie getting a search site to add you to their index)you must follow a few simple steps. Before you do that you have to do one thing. Go and make yourself a cuppa, wait for the next post and stop being impatient.

Introducing the Experiment.
If like me you have trawled through the internet looking for loads of ways to make money, you have probably realised that there are lots of scam artists out there. People that write crappy ebooks usually are the ones with their crappy programs which are designed to do one thing.....rob you of your hard earned cash.
What's the main one...put some adds on some blogs in a niche market and you will get traffic to it if you put in the right keywords. Well it's technically right but what they don't tell you about is that you have gotta do all the extra stuff. You have gotta learn about SEO and affilliate marketing.
Over the years I have wasted pound after pound on these crappy systems. You start with so much go and then after 6 months you give up. Well perhaps it's actually time to start making some serious money. I could be like all the other scam artists and put out a crappy eBook. I'm not as dishonest as them though. Do you know how much money the £1800 odd pound has got me??? About £3.54
So what have I learnt through all of this crappyness that I have spent my hard earn wages on? Absolutelly nothing....kinda. I have learnt what not to do.
This is my story....
There I am one Tuesday morning turfing through the net continuing my research when I stumble on a grizzly bear. I ask this grizzly bear how I make money online and he says look at my blog. A blog I reply...Wow! - You must be a really knowledgable bear. Where is it? I say. It is here - http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/ I'll follow It and then Ill see where it gets me. I said ..Ill do a web marketing experiment. All the information on this blog is my interpretation of Grizzly's advice. I hope it works.
