This is a guest post by Shannon Lily from Infected by Bugs.
First off I wanted to thank Ahson once again for allowing me to guest post on his great BlueVerse blog! I love BlueVerse and I read it as if it was my second home. Today I am going to uncover one of the many SEO Myths that have been around the search engine optimization forums and blogs out their.
Does The Cache Date Actually Matter?
I have seen people of all shapes and sizes tell newer seos that one key factor they can use to up their serp rankings is to get indexed by the search engines more often. These seos either don’t know the truth themselves (not a big surprise) or they are purposely misleading the newer seos to put them on a wild goose chase and never achieve seo success. Whatever the reason is the seos that endorse that method really bug me to say the least.
In my opinion seo is an art form that should be shared with the world, if you’re a better artists then me then you deserve the fame you get from your art and vice versa. You may be asking yourself how little old me knows this little tidbit of information that seems to allude most seos.
It’s really quite simple, I have done testing on the subject and after a few months time have seen the negative and positives of getting my site indexed more often. I am sure Gnet has covered how to get indexed more by the search engines, but just incase he has not all it takes is a few social bookmarks and you will be set!
So anyways, about my testing! I have sites that are anywhere from 3 to 10 years old that I have owned the whole time and used for various things. I have seen the ins and outs of seo at work and all my sites rank for decent terms throughout the search engines. This info has given me the ability to dissect each test and see what works and what does not. After all this testing I can gladly and proudly say that being indexed in the search engines is not necessary for better rankings.
Instead of focusing in on that logic, take your new found wisdom and do the other steps to seo that really do matter like link building and connecting with our bloggers of your niche.
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on this subject, I will reply to all that I can so comment away below!

Thanks for telling us that getting ranked in search engine ain’t really necessary. But, you didn’t know what we are supposed to do. I would appreciate if in your next article you wrote something about doing things right (I mean SEO). Thanks!!
