Ever Wonder How to Get your Site Visible?

Curiously, as Mpayy has begun to prepare for its launch and begun to contact companies for everything from financing to promotional partnerships, and potential clients, the search engines began displaying an unknown virus as the natural search results for the term Mpayy. Perhaps we should have been flattered, and we were.

However, there was much excitement in the Mpayy offices as we finally got the top spot from Google search results "Under Construction"/"Coming Soon" page that are companies only option for really getting any public face before they launch without throwing advertising dollars completely down the toilet.

The page now has a spinning globe as part of the Mpayy logo. The homepage can be found at http://www.mpayy.com.

In order to get our site crawled by Google's bots, we took two steps.

First, we used Google Analytics which is a free tool from 0-1,000,000 monthly impressions. The reporting interface is phenomenal, and it integrates very well with any online advertising you do as well as tracking links from all over the Net.

Second, Google's Webmaster tools provide the ability to generate a Verification Meta tag that will tell the bots to come look for you. Within two days we went from not showing up at all to #1.

God bless Google and its user friendly technologies.
