Advanced Google Operator – site: – and Blog Post Tags
Hey guys,
I was playing around on Google & Yahoo, using some advanced operators, when I suddenly realized something important.
Using the ‘site’ operator lets you see how many pages your website has. For example, let’s say I wanted to see how many pages there are on this site, yourwebprosperity.com. I’d type in, “site:yourwebprosperity.com” in Google search and hit enter.
Now, when I first did this, I had 86 pages listed on Google. I was thinking, “damn I’m good.”
Then, as I scrolled through the posts, I noticed that WordPress was showing me the same page over and over sometimes – under different TAG directories.
So, if i had a post that used the tags “make money online” and “affiliate commissions,” Google showed the same post twice, once under a directory called /tags/affiliatecommissions/, and again under /tags/makemoneyonline.
So I thought I’d give something a try. I went into my admin panel for my blog, and added tags for the newest post I’d added. Then, I repeated the Google search using the ‘site’ operator.
Lo and behold, my pages went from 86 to 145.
Why does that matter? Good SEO.
Plus it’s super-cool to have lots of pages on your site.
So if you have a blog, make sure you add related tags to each of your posts. And of course, be reasonable – if you’re blogging about fish, don’t add a link about cats
