Google Indexes Your Gmail and Keeps Deleted Emails

NOTE: First off, Let me say, Google is the ONLY company that REFUSED to hand over all of its email data to the Feds at Bush's Homeland Security. (Microsoft and Yahoo sheepishly turn away)... So the purpose of this email is NOT to be alarmist. I use gmail. I store personal information in Gmail. Gmail is probably the safest place to store your data.

Funny note about these pages... I couldn't find them in Google. I had to search YAHOO to find these pages! My Yahoo query: "spider gmail."

 

I know, I know... I've mentioned this tip once before in a compilation of techniques on how to get Google to love you. But this bears repeating because of how few web marketing professionals

A) knew about this

B) believe it even after being told!

"I think youve lost your mind"

"I think that your email comment is out to lunch"

"I seriously doubt google spiders the email..."

"never found anything so lame"

"May I have some of what you're smoking?

"Yeah - pass it around." - from: digitalpoint.com

Sure, nobody has all the answers. Google is constantly changing their algorithm. Facebook is constantly morphing. Youtube is constantly evolving. The web itself is a pubescent shape shifting living organism.

But one thing is for sure. If you think like the people who move and shake the internet, you too can move and shake the internet.

Oh, getting back to my original Google Tip. Get your URL and associated keywords in an email. Get that email to circulate into many many gmail inboxes. Your website WILL rise to Google stardom.

How to email blast a grip of legit opt-in addresses with google

Building an email list takes time. Buying a list is a waste of money. Using a list you've bought is public relations suicide. So, if you want to email thousands of people without a single email address, how do you do it?

Simple. It only takes 24 hours to be in thousands of inboxes WITHOUT A SINGLE EMAIL ADDRESS. HOW?

It's called news.google.com

Google allows people with ANY EMAIL ADDRESS to SUBSCRIBE to news items based on key words. So... If you select a keyword and google news finds a news item with that key word in it, you'll automatically get a real-time email with that news item in your inbox.



Bloggers use this feature all the time to keep new fresh news pumping into the blogosphere.

So there are two benefits to getting into Google News. You automatically get dropped into potentially thousands of email inboxes AND many of the inboxes will belong to bloggers who will post your news item with a link to your site if it's news worthy.

So then. How do you get into News.Google.com?

That was covered in my last blog post. Click on "NEWS" in the key word tags below to find it...

PRWEB - How to get blogs to feature you and link to you

As mentioned in my last post, many NOT ALL of the most popular places you can put online comments are kevlar coated with a NOFOLLOW tag. This makes link building for Google love impossible in the comments field. 

So, should you leave a comment and your url?

YES. If it is a relevant and valuable comment, YES. But since there is no link value ... do NOT make the link active. Active links in comments look spammy. Just say, "sparkah dot com." as if you really don't need anyone to visit your site. Ironically, more will come.

But that's not the topic here.  Getting bloggers to blog about your site IS the topic. So how do you do it?

Exactly the same way the old news agencies got their storys to print in the papers, rags, and mags. DO A PRESS RELEASE. 

Print and TV news outlets use Business Wire as their news source.

 But since the advent of the blog, the fastest source of new is now PRWEB.com

. Remember, bloggers are famished, starving, ravenous for new and exciting stories to post on their blog. Give them something worth salivating over and you will get your hundreds of inbound links and content features.

BONUS!: If you use PRWEB and just pay for ONE STAR, you WILL show up in google news too!

Top Blogs and Websites with NOFOLLOW in comments

3 Google Algorithm Secrets that nobody believes!

"I doubt massively that google spiders email - even googlemail."

"never found anything so lame!"

"May I have some of what you're smoking?

"Yeah - pass it around. LOL."

The above are the responses I've gotten from the SEO Experts around the world. For my first three Google contributions to the knowledge pool at digitalpoint forums. I just started there so in a show of good faith and value... I decided to hand over a few valuable factors in the GOOGLE HIVE.

For your benefit... here they are again...
1. Google spiders GMAIL for url links!
Why else would they give you unlimited storage. How else would they know what adsense ad to syndicate in your inbox?!?!

2. Google measures repeat click throughs on each IP session.
This means that if the same person googles the same keyword twice and clicks the same link twice... that gets you extra brownie points.

3. Google weighs each link from 1-10 on every page on a relative scale.
This means that if #10 gets as many Click Throughs as #1, then #10 moves to #1 slot. SO make your titles and descriptions tempting!
