That’s a great news for bloggers! At least for most of them.

Uh, I’ve just found out that Google Search ranks my blog on page 1 for certain phrases and paragraphs, but not some people’s names. Will need to work on those people’s names…

My blog was indexed by end of Dec, 2007, three days after it was registered with Google Addurl program. My blog appears to be ranked the first item on page 1 IF and Only If I google the Title of my blog. Same case for some of other blogs that I have tested.

It is not ranked at all if I Google words, phrases or paragraphs that exist in my posts. Why is that? How can I fix the problem? Thanks.

Regarding Jay Thompson Oct 24, 07 comments,
“A post this morning ranks on page 1 for “Phoenix real estate sales stats”…”, it seems that that blog’s title is “Phoenix Home Sale Stats”, which might be the reason that it was ranked on page 1.

“thompsonsrealty.com” is not found on page 1 if googling “Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service” which exist on its home page.

Google does not know that you have a blog or a web site. It crawls your pages all the same. The reason blogs are indexed more oftent and more effeciently is because blogs tend to be properly structured using CSS and lots of easy to index HTML. If you want ot speed up your indexing more, there is a tool that actually goes out and proactively announces each post you do in real time, telling the spiders that your blog has new content. It also automatically sends snipits to some of their vertical directories and give you an automatic inbound link. Its pretty cool but check it out at http://www.moguling.com

Some very interesting comments. From what I can tell… Google will keep your quickly indexed new blog post if it contain popular content that is being searched for… otherwise it is dropped after 48 hours.

Wow, this post has a lost of comments. I'm using a Wordpress blog and the all in one SEO plugin; I launched a new site for a friend that took 3 days to get indexed by Google. I also am using the Google sitemaps plugin for WordPress. It seams like Google is very responsive to their sitemaps. Check out my audio post on this subject at pixelhandler.com.

I see the same thing happening.

I have a PR of 0.
I post infrequently.

But two of my post (literally I did 2 posts in this month) were #1-2 in Google 30 minutes after I hit the Publish button. Just goes to show that way too many websites in my niche, have no idea how to SEO.

My blog entry just made it to number 2 on Google (out of 5,080) within 12 minutes.

While I’m certain that Google loves blog, I don’t think speedy indexing is limited to blogs alone. A site’s update frequency and PageRank may play some rules.

This is cool. I made a google search for “bash giveaway ebenta” and i got it indexed by Google quick pointing me to problogger’s post where I commented on. But I beleive Google only did this to the well-published blog.

I just did a search for my new blog with my post for today plus my domain name and the same results do not seem to be the case with me. In the big G’s defense, I think I need to go back and look at my tags a little closer.

With a PR of 0 I got crawled in less than 8hrs and ranking in 8th for target keyword of my latest post. I probably got crawled faster but I didn’t really check to see until I read this post.

I have some observations from my multiple blogs that may (or may not) contribute to the analysis of this phenomenon.

First, I have a comment for “Jay” the Phoenix real estate broker. A PR5 is not a “lowly” blog as you have suggested … ProBlogger is only at a PR6!

Now on to the analysis. I have multiple blogs that I post on each day: PR0 w/o Feedburner, PR3 w/feedburner, and another PR3 w/feedburner.

Only one of these blogs gets indexed “daily”. I haven’t narrowed it down any closer than that, but I do know that it is within 24 hrs. It is the PR3 blog w/ feedburner.

However, this is NOT the blog that gets the most posts. That would be the other PR3 blog w/feedburner. Both blogs are configured exactly the same with feedburner.

There are a few differences on the blog that is indexed the fastest, and these may yield the key to this phenomenon. This particular blog has these optimization plugins in place (I installed them after reading an SEO article):

Dagon Design Sitemap Generator
Head META Description
Permalink Redirect
Ultimate Tag Warrior

These are all related to optimization, and one of them (or a combination of them) could be the culprit to quick placement. Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon want to confirm if you have these in your Wordpress blog?

I notice that a post I published that day start earning visitors from Google that same day. Google definitely loves blogs.

I think the high posting frequency makes a high crawling frequency for ProBlogger.

Also the ‘Query Deserves Freshness’ Algorithm does a nice job in showing fresh content, as the Inside-look-at-Google-article of the New York Times explains:

Over the time I observed that Google gives more credit to blogs than to any other types of websites. That is why I recommend to my clients to have a blog type website. It is also easier for them to administer. Most of the clients want a simple, few pages sites.

Yes, i realized that on the 19th Sep. when I published a post and just one hour later the first reader came via Google with the relevant keywords

Yah, I noticed that also on my site yesterday. When I had published a post in several minutes I got results in Google. It seems promising :)…
