Getting Your Site Indexed

Not to be mistaken for new page indexing that Google now offers 24 hour on demand page indexing for existing sites that have deployed Google Site Search on their sites. However "On Demand Indexing" now offered by Google can be useful if you decide to get serious about your hot trends business and run a Word Press Blog on your own domain. More on that later.

Site indexing is just that. Getting your new web site or blog's domain name (URL), indexed into it's search engine database. There is no hope of attaining any search engine position, low or high, without Google first doing what is called spidering the Internet with "Bots" that go out and search for new sites and new information on existing sites. These bots are generated from the numerous data centers Google has around the world. When they spider for indexing is a closely held secret. It is not on any regular schedule.

I can remember before Google was even in existence and it taking weeks to sometimes months to get a site indexed in what was the hot search engines and directories of the day. Old systems like Netscapes search engine, Web Crawler, Magellan, Excite, and others have been folded into the biggies we know today. A Few like MSN and Yahoo are a couple that have stood the test of time and the onslaught of Google. One relatively new one "Ask.com" (Used to be "Ask Jeeves), is the only newcomer in years to grow and remain a semi major player. So when I hear people complain about it taking a week to get their new site indexed on Google, I have to laugh just a little. They don't know how good they have it.

Getting your site indexed quickly in the search engines is still not an exact science. At least not in the time frames we need to get them indexed in. so we're not going to rely on them being indexed and certainly not getting 1st page search engine results. Be proactive and getting our own traffic is the key.

However I have seen the methods listed below get a brand new blog indexed in less that 24 hours. That is livable in the fast paced world of hot trends marketing. I will occasionally not mess with the following processes if I found a hot trend that is pretty iffy. I won't take time spending time on something that is a long shot. Why do I take iffy long shots? Because I can afford the time or am between other projects when I do. And it's kind of a kick when I do go for a long shot and it pays off.

With that in mind, it is still worth employing a couple of tricks I've learned along the way. These action steps will only take you a few minutes once you have the process down.
