A great quick way of getting crawled by search engines is to create a blog with wonderfully originally content.

If it seems like you have done everything you can yet you are still not getting crawled as often as you would like then you should add a blog to your website. Blog’s have a tendency to get crawled quickly especially if you submit a sitemap to the major search engines every time you post a new article. Often times your new articles and posts will get crawled that day.

I recommend WordPress because it is very SEO friendly straight out of the box as they say and it is absolutely free. We allow you to add WordPress automatically through our control panel. WordPress is extremely easy to use and you can add media such as images, videos, links to video etc. It has a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface option for those that do not know how to code in HTML.

Remember original content is always king. Since you can categorize your posts and links in a blog it is usually ok to post about ‘off topic’ subjects which really broaden your keywords and phrases. If you are trying to sell products on your site then you should stay away from controversial subjects. Don’t make it all off topic though. You do want to post articles that are relates to your Miva Merchant store and to your products and categories. The purpose of a blog is not only to get crawled but to create interaction with people that are browsing your site. If you post interesting material then you will get visitors and comments from your visitors.

The more frequently you post the better and put links to your products or categories whenever possible so that your Miva Merchant store is crawled when your blog is crawled.
Good luck, have fun and POST!
