How to get a new blog indexed in Search

Creating profit niche blog is no good without content, and content is no good if your domain isn’t even indexed in the search engines.

Before you do anything write at least two quality posts, fill out your “about” page, setup a “contact” page(I used this plugin WP Contact Form v.2.0WP), delete the Wordpress default “blogroll” links and replace them with other relevant blogs in your niche. Setup your blog with an SEO plugin like WP-SEO or All in One SEO Pack, and then start the process of getting your blog indexed.

You want to have your blog as setup as possible before calling on the army of search crawlers.
