For most of us, search engine traffic is a synonym for Google Traffic. The faster you are indexed, the better, especially when you blog about hot trending topics.
But Google has to crawl a zillion pages every day. And submitting your link to Google manually wont do any good, you know that, right?
So how do we get indexed fast? Here is the secret.
Be Regular
Google loves regularity. This doesn’t mean you have to post every day. What every you do, do it in equal intervals.
Say if you post 15 posts a week, do it once in 48 hours. Too slow a pace wouldn’t do any good either. Keep your blog updated at least once in 3 days.
If you try it, initially you wont see any results. Keep doing it for a month or two, the results will come.
How fast can you get indexed?
When I was blogging once every two days, I used to get indexed in about an hour. Now that I am blogging daily, I get indexed in about 5 minutes or lesser. That’s what has been happening for the last 2 weeks.
Even though I had been blogging daily for 2 months now, it took about 40 days for the results to come.
How do you know when you get indexed?
Use Google Alerts. Set-up a Google alert for your own blog and when Google indexes you, you get notified with an email. Remember to choose, ‘as-it-happens‘, when you make the alert.
Remember, The key is to be regular.
P.S: There was a Google Page Rank Update Today, Did you check your page rank?
Update: I had started a timer after posting this one, it took 13.55 minutes to get indexed, thats a bit slower than I expected, still not bad. Murphy’s Laws in action 😉
