Get Your Blog Posts Indexed INSTANTLY

24 March 2008 22 Comments

Hey all, just a short post here to share how you can get your blog posts indexed instantly. I often read of bloggers having trouble with Google picking up their sites altogether, let alone their blog posts.

Here’s a simple trick.

I am using the last post I wrote which was the Blogging Experiment being up for sale post. I only published that a few minutes ago. Follow these steps.

  • Before you publish it, Go to Google and search on the first complete sentence of your post. You MUST use quotation marks around the words being searched on. You need to make it long enough so that there will not be another site out there with this exact sentence.
  • You should return zero results for your search. If you don’t then the sentence is too short. Try again.
  • Now go publish your post and wait about 10 minutes.
  • Do the same search again using quotes again. Voila. Your post should show up….just like the For Sale Post did. It took about 10 minutes for this to be indexed. Your results may vary but if you want your content out there as fast as possible, this is the way to do it.
  • For this example I typed the first line of the post into Google search…”I may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree but I have noticed a trend lately”
  • It returned no results at first, but 10 minutes later you can see I am indexed and in the Google search results.

You may find this a handy little trick or you may have no use for it at all. It’s an easy way to get a new site to meet the Google bot for the first time. Once the bot comes to crawl your new post then it should make its way around your site if your internal linking is very good.

Google is an information hungry monster and when it returned zero results for your 1st search, it records that and remembers it. Then as new posts or pings come in, it will compare these to the zero results list and prioritize accordingly.

It may not work every time, but I have not yet had a site or blog post where I couldn’t have it indexed in a very short period of time.

Enjoy.

    @Erica and Billso – It works great. My post is not as descriptive as it could be because I was trying to write fast to show you how quickly it can happen.

    The time stamp on the posts was about 50 minutes apart, so factoring in the wait time, and doing the pictures etc you can tell it indexed it very, very quickly.

    Just make sure you search on something from within the post and use quotes. It has to be a long enough phrase so that you will return zero results in Google.

    Publish your post and repeat this step 10 minutes later. Sometimes I have had it happen almost instantly.

    If you are starting a new site, it will get the Bot out to your site very quickly compared to sometimes waiting days and weeks to get a new site indexed.

    Interesting idea i decided to give it a try. I did a google search for the first line of my latest post before i posted it. To my surprise it did`nt take 10mins to get indexed it took just 2mins.

    So yes this does work and to prove it was 2 mins i took a screen shot of the search results here is the link to the screen shot

    @GMG – Hey looky there. Glad it worked for you….2 minutes is about the fastest I have ever seen it index a post. I usually average somewhere between 2 and 10 minutes.

    This is a great tip to get into Google.

    I would recommend looking for a number of venues to ping your work though. Although Google is still about 80% of my searches it is great to diversify referals.

    Indeed,it works,and I knew this trick.But this is not the point at all.The point is,especially when you have a business or affiliate blog,that people find it with simple search words,not with whole sentences.This is all about.

  • Bill (author) said:

    @Metodios – You are talking about ranking for key words….I am talking about getting a new site indexed. They are completely different subjects so you have totally missed the point of the post.

  • Vic said:

    Nice article. I already have this idea and actually using it. But I use it not to index my page instantly but to assure that it will be on the top spot of the Google search results. Also, I observed that a title should not be more than 8 words in general. To keep you full title show up in the Google page.

  • Donn said:

    I thought that this was an interesting idea, and was about to try it. I had written a post just ten minutes before reading this, so I thought that I’d try it for that post. But it seems that Google had itself already indexed it, and I didn’t have an opportunity to!

    It’s really quite difficult to tell how Google does its magic…
