Exploiting Google Backdoors
Though search engine optimization (SEO) techniques have increased in numbers with the advent of more scrutinizing technology, it would still take some considerable time before their effects can be realized. Try to employ an SEO tactic today, and you’ll experience the results only after a couple of months or so. That means a couple of months or so of lost business for you. Surely, there must be a faster way of getting your pages indexed at higher page positions in search engine results.
Well, there are two known backdoors to Google, which is undoubtedly the world’s most used search engine. Whether or not these backdoors are intentional on the part of the search engine giant, or are merely slight oversights, is unknown to us common Internet users. But the fact remains that they’re there, and it would be unwise not to use them for our benefit.
Blogs
The first of these backdoors are web logs, or blogs as they are more fondly called. For some strange reason, Google seem to love blogs. Blogs, in fact, dominate most search engine results. Try to run a query of any subject and study the top results. Chances are you’ll find a blog or two on the first page alone.
There are many theories as to why blogs figure so prominently in search engine results. Some say that it’s because Google loves itself, an observation that has been circulating for many years now. The free blogging service, www.blogger.com , you see, is a subsidiary of Google, and common deductive reasoning would tell us that Google would somehow incorporate in its algorithm some sort of favorable inclination towards Blogger accounts.
Others claim that it’s because of the nature of blogs, and how search engine friendly their features are. Blogs are very easy to update. All you have to do is to type in your thoughts and press a single button to publish the same. And voila! You have new content just like that. It is common knowledge that search engines love regularly update content.
There are some sectors who believe that it’s because of the pinging method that have been discovered recently. Once a blog is updated, the owner can use pinging services like www.pingomatic.com to inform the search engines that new content has been uploaded into the blog. The search engine spiders would thereafter crawl through the blog site come the next relevant query, resulting in a higher page rank for the said web page.
Google Answers
The other backdoor involves Google Answers. Google Answers is a service of the search engine giant where any registered member can ask a question. A group of hired researchers would then provide some answers for a fee. The pages where these answers are located would be prominently displayed in the search results after a few days.
Now, how could you exploit this? Well, with Google Answers, any registered member can post a comment on the page where he question is asked. You won’t get paid, of course, but you are free to include links to your website. Imagine, then, when the said web page is fetched and displayed at the top of the very first page of the search engine results, with your links included therein? Anyone who would get to view it would also get to see your links, and hopefully, they’d follow it to your official page in cyberspace!
This strategy, of course, requires that you constantly monitor Google Answers for questions whose subjects are related to your business. Once one is found, reply immediately so that you could take advantage of the benefits you could derive from this.

There is only so much we know about these backdoors, but the fact remains that they would help our online ventures immensely. So don’t get left behind. Apply these strategies today and reap whatever rewards are forthcoming. They are still backdoors, and there is no guarantee how long they would last.
