How to get indexed by Google in ONE hour

by Jamie Munro

If you’re not familiar with how some people accomplish getting their web sites submitted to Google quickly, you are going to absolutely love this article.

I’ve bet you’ve heard from many people that it can take days, weeks, even months to get indexed by Google. If you have heard that, you’re now thinking, “OK Jamie, you must have had a really stressful day at work today and you’re now hallucinating that this is possible!”.

If I read this blog title a while ago, I’m sure I would be thinking the same thing as you! Ok, let’s move on to how to get indexed by Google within one hour.

The secret is quite simple. Almost every site in today’s Internet world uses the social network sharing buttons. On my blog, http://www.endyourif.com I include it on every article page. I also include it on the main listing pages underneath my article summary.

If you don’t already have one of these on your sites, get one now, just search “Share This” or “Add This” and you will find a ton of web sites that tell you to put a few lines of Javascript code on your web site and it does the rest.

Ok, so now you have this button added to your web site? Perfect, I would suggest going to a page on your web site that you think will be the most valuable to other users and submit it to a couple of those sites listed in the button.

I have personally found excellent success with both Digg and Reddit. I launched a web site about 1 or 2 months ago, submitted two links to Digg. I waited about an hour or so and searched Google with keywords that I felt I targeted well and lo and behold there it was, my page was found and indexed with Google. Not only was it found, it was in the top 10!

Don’t just stop here though. Submitting to the above sites will provide you with some quick traffic. It won’t last long if people don’t like your site. Plus, it won’t cause your other pages to be indexed either. It really is just a start.

The next step is to create an XML sitemap of your content. Once you’ve done this, create an account on the Google Webmaster Tools . You will need to add your domain and verify your site before continuing.

Once you’ve completed this, add your sitemap that you previously created. Within a few minutes (some times longer), Google will validate your sitemap and queue all of your links to be indexed.

This of course is not a guaranteed solution to be indexed any faster. But Google certainly seems to crawl your sitemap on a regular basis and check the links. It also checks how often your site is updated, the more frequently it is updated, the more frequently Google will crawl your content!

If it’s possible, you should try to perform some kind of daily updates to your site. Ideally if you allow users to comment, hopefully there will be several new comments per day and this will cause your data to be considered new.

I hope you’ve found this article useful. Happy Googling! If you would like more tips and techniques, visit my blog at http://www.endyourif.com

Questions, Answers and Discussions From Our Members…

Redirects With or Without “www”

We’re trying to figure out how important are redirects from urls without www. to urls with www for SEO these days. The reason therefore is, if you´re using webmaster-tools to set the url-format which shows then up in the SERPS, where goes the linkjuice to? I´ll jump into the cold water and claim, if you choose webmaster-tools to set this configuration, there’s no need for redirects anymore. What do you think?

Question Marks and Query Strings

Long ago, it was said that search engines didn’t index URLs with query strings in them. Then, it became clear that SEs did index URLs with query strings. Then it was noted that SEs avoided URLs with session IDs in them, as these often get regenerated and a spider could get stuck in an infinite loop. Most stuff I read says not to use them, and although I could re-write using htaccess or similar, is there anything wrong (from an SEO point of view) with the following format: [http://example.com/?Category/Details/forProduct/
