This week I have 2 short tips for you.
First, wondering how to change that “Just Another Today.com Weblog” text? This is the default tagline for newly created blogs. Depending on the theme you use it might even show up in your header. But no matter what theme you use you’ll want to have a more descriptive tagline. It helps bother readers and search engines understand what your blog is about.
Changing your tagline is very easy. When logged into your blog control panel go to “Blog options” and save your new, well thought out, and descriptive tagline. You can also edit your blog title there too.
Second tip, get your blog listed in Google’s search engine faster. Simply submit your blog to Google via their Add URL page. This takes the guesswork out of wondering if Google knows about your blog. You only need to submit once. Remember, if they don’t know your blog exists they can’t send you visitors!
Happy Blogging!

By submitting your blog URL manually to Google, you will be banned as will Today.com, eventually. Google will completely ignore your blog.
Learn to write keyword friendly material and Google will pick up your articles and blog by itself.

We are completely unaware of any such allegations, as suggested by meucci24. meucci24: can you please provide evidence to support your claim?

I was surprised at how easy it was to register with Google…. Thanks for the advice and I’m going to be sure to check back as I’m still a newborn blogger. Now to overcome the butterflies that were mostly erradicated by the “admin” reply post. Although I have a feeling that if that submitting manually to Google was banned many pages would be gone by now. If anyone has a more concrete answer it would be appreciated.
