I’m happy to say that I am now getting organic hits from Google on my Calculus and Physics blog. They are all because of the series of posts I have started writing on the 2000 AP Calculus test.
Organic hits are hits that come from a search engine. So if someone does a search on a search engine, like Google or Yahoo!, your site comes up in the results, and the user clicks your site, that is an organic hit. Organic hits are great because they are highly targeted — they are from users that are looking for something specific on your site.
To get organic hits, your site must first be indexed by a search engine. One way to promote indexing of your site is to manually add your site to a search engine’s database. You can add your site to Google’s search engine using this add url tool. If other indexed sites already have links to your site, your site will automatically be indexed the next time the search engine crawls the page with your site’s link.
