Google Indexing in 30 Minutes

Sometimes, it can take a few weeks to get a website or webpage indexed by Google. And, unless your pages are indexed, they won’t show up in a Google search. The following are a few tricks that we use when immediate indexing is important. With the following tips, you can get a web page indexed by Google in 30 minutes:

1. Sign up at the Digital Point Forums here: forums.digitalpoint.com. They have a “reviews” section where you can invite other people to give you comments on your site. Digitalpoint is so large that Google indexes it constantly. Google will follow the link you post there to your website.
2. Go to Cubestat.com and punch in the name of your website. Cubestat will create an information page (sort of like an alexa page) about your website that will be indexed by Google in about 20 minutes–and again, Google should follow the link to your website very quickly.  You can also use Statbrain for that. There are about 30 of these such sites, but you’ll have to hire us to get the complete list!
3. Post a Craigslist ad with a link to your website–Google crawls Craigslist constantly, so your link will be picked up quite quickly.
4. Set up an RSS feed on your site and submit it to Feedburner.
5. If your site is a blog, do the following: submit it to BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog, and submit it to Technorati.
6. If your site is a site set up on Wordpress, make sure it is set up to ping Google automatically. To learn how to do this, do a search on this phrase: “wordpress ping automatic google”.
7. Always verify your site with Google webmasters, which is free, here: google.com/webmasters
8. Get a buddy to submit a great post or page to Digg.com
9. Any high-volume forum (similar to Digitalpoint) is going to be crawled by Google quite frequently. Most forums let you have a “signature” where you can post a limited number of links to your site. Also, with signatures, you can return and change the links in your signature once Google has done the indexing.

How NOT to Ever Get Indexed (Stuff NOT to Do):

1. Don’t rely on duplicate content, especially for new sites. Google has filters that identify duplicate content and if it identifies your site as a repository for duplicated content, Google will treat your site as low-value and will not crawl or index quickly (or at all).
2. Directory submission services are generally not a quick strategy for getting indexed.
3. Don’t try hidden keywords or any keyword stuffing: it hasn’t worked since 2001, and Google is very good at detecting it.
4. Don’t try to hammer other blogs with comments–if those are your first few links, it’ll look bad to search engines.

Good luck!
