| 1412961 | 2015-12-15 04:40:00 | Does anybody know or have experience working with Amazon CloudSearch? Is it similar or better than "Google Custom Search" apart from the cost factor. Google Custom Site Search is $99 per year. I am concerned it cant index Word documents. I have hundreds of Word documents that need to be indexed and presented in SERP's Any guidance is appreciated. Thx |

Or for a given site, try site:yoursite.com filetype:.docx. Or enter the exact url to the doc's. There is also inurl, intitle operators as well. I have had word docs appear in the serps for some of my niche blogs/web sites. But they only appear for specific queries, and these days sites have to be authoritative, content worthy, and with a strong diverse back link profile to appear on page 1 of the serps. Another way to improve SERP visibility - is to repurpose them - a lot of work though. In SEO and content marketing this method is used. If suitable, convert to blog posts, online sideshow, doc platforms, social media, etc. or create a whitepaper (goo.gl) to offer to download. However this sometimes involves creating a "lead magnet" (www.digitalmarketer.com) |
