OK,

 

As I understand things when a spider hits your site it assigns a LEVEL to pages in the site - i.e. those in the root of the site are level one and those in a sub directory would be level 2 etc...

 

My questions concern the addition of new pages to an established website. Currently I am waiting for Google to re-index my site (I expect this around 17th December based on the last few month history) and since the last visit I have added a great deal of content and stuck these pages in the root of the site with links from my index page.

 

How quickly do these pages gain some search engine position (I mean good position)??

well it depends on how effective your keywords and the techniques you used to got a good position in search engines, search engine based on a lot of aspect to get high rank position on serps.

If you want your site got the position you ever want I can help you with this, my team is specialized in web design, web developing and most of all web marketing. We can put your site on the top of every search engine in less than 5 weeks or get your money back...

The speed and depth at which Google will index your site is based upon the PR of the site (not the PR the toolbar displays as this is obviously stale information).

 

If possible, obtain backlinks to the page from other relevant sites to increase the speed that pages are indexed.

 

Good position is based on a lot of factors as you're probably aware... good anchor text, good use of headings and the title tag and keyword in the URL.

 

(Erica, can you provide any examples of sites that you've helped and what keywords these rank well for?)

Make sure that you have a good site navigation and linking structure in place.

Try not to build your site too deep (home>section>category>sub-category>page).

 

Keep it to around 2 levels max. Also develop plenty of links to the deeper pages from your outer ones.

If all on-page optimization is in order, you will get good postion based on how well your doing with off-page optimization - quality and targeted link building. These efforts should be done continuously even if you already rank well.

It is not easy to gain search engine position because you need a lot of hardwork and patience before you got the result for the site. The best things you do is to follow the SEO techniques on how to rank on the search engine like link building, on-page for keywords, titles and keyword density and update contents.
