5 Ways to Get Your Blog Indexed by Google in 24 Hours
This is a guest-post from AdesBlog.com. Follow Ades on twitter @ades.
We all know that content is king and that if you keep blogging… if you keep doing what you love… the traffic and the money will follow suit. While that’s partially true, there is also things that you can do to:
- Index your newly launched blog fast by major Search Engines
- Increase traffic to your blog
- Improve your SERPs (Search Engine Result Positions)
Why wait right? Content can be king but waiting around for traffic to come by itself is not a good way to start blogging. So let’s start…
Getting Indexed
Let’s say you launched a blog today and want it on Google’s results tomorrow. Can this be done? Yes.
Easiest way to get indexed by major Search Engines is to get mentioned by established blogs. This usually will get your blog indexed within 24 hours. But since we are new (i.e the newly launched blog of ours) I don’t think any blogger want to mention it. So instead of begging other bloggers to notice your newly launched blog, you just have to figure out other ways of getting indexed by Google fast. Can it be done? Absolutely! (All it takes a little effort on your side).
1. Blog Communities
There are few blog related community portals that have a very good rankings in Google and other Major Search Engines Results, they are: MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog, Blogged and NetworkedBlogs, particularly MyBlogLog. This means that if you get your blog on these blog communities, Google will have no other choice but to index your blog. So, go ahead and register for an account on these communities and list your blog on it. Once you are done you will have a page like this, this and this.
What to pay attention: Your blog’s description (have a proper write-up), keywords & tags (add related keywords and tags to your listing, this will be used by other members to find your blog), branding (put your logo, avatars, screenshots etc. have a consistent branding everywhere), and list your blog in the correct category.
2. Site Valuation & Stats Sites
Some of those How Much Your Site Worth? sites have a good ranking in Search Engines. All you need to do is to go there and check how much your site worth. This would create a special page for your blog (like this) and consecutively it would be indexed by Google. Here is a list of worthy sites: WebsiteOutlook, StatBrain, CubeStat, WebTrafficAgents, BuiltWith, WhoIs, QuarkBase, URLfan and AboutTheDomain.
3. Feed Aggregators
List your blog’s feed in these feed aggregators Feed-Squirrel, OctoFinder, FeedAdage. Once you have submitted your feed to these sites, they will keep track of your newly published posts and index them in their site. Whenever someone clicks on the blog post title, he/she will be redirected to your original blog post sending you free traffic and getting your latest posts indexed by Google.
4. Social Sites
Registering account on Social Sites with the same username as your blog’s URL is very effective in getting your blog indexed by Search Engines. Especially for those targeted keywords.
For example, if your blog’s name is WhiteElephant, it’s a good practice to register the same username at twitter as @WhiteElephant, and to create a page in Facebook at www.facebook.com/WhiteElephant
So, get account on major Social Sites for your newly launched blog, namely: Twitter, Facebook (create a page for your blog), Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious etc. By the way, it’s a good pratice to create a separate Social Sites account for each of your projects. This way you can stay focused and post messages that are related to your project. In the long run, this will help build a community that are like-minded around your project.
Note from Darren: it’s worth nothing that many social media sites (like Twitter) use no follow tags on links which means the links don’t really help with SEO. Having said this – it’s still worth getting pages for your keywords/brand as these pages can rank in and of themselves in Google and can help you to have control over numerous search results for the same keyword.
5. Misc Sites
Squidoo is a community website that allows people to create pages (called “lenses”) on various topics. Creating a topic that is related to your blog and then including your feed in that page would help your blog get indexed by Search Engines. Squidoo used to have a really good ranking in Google results, but not so much today. But it’s still ranks well and it shouldn’t be neglected.
ChangeDetection is a website that monitors sites for changes. When you monitor a particular site using ChangeDetection, it will ask you whether you want the notices to be public or private. If you say public, it will be published in their news section. For example; AdesBlog.com got an update today, type of update: text additions etc. This of course will get picked up by Search Engines and Search Engines in return will index your blog.
Technorati is a search engine for searching blogs. According to Wikipedia, as of June 2008, Technorati was indexing 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media. It’s a dying breed, but not just dead yet. You have to definitely register for an account and get your blog listed on Technorati.
That’s it. Once you are done with creating accounts and submitting your newly launched blog in the above mentioned sites, you should see your blog in Google’s Search Results within 24 hours. Most of the time it will appear within the next few hours only.
Lastly, getting indexed is one thing but sustaining that traffic is another. And this is where the Content is King phrase should truly be emphasized. Because, without a good and valuable content, all your effort will be just wasted.
I hope you have found this post useful.

Well there are other ways to index your blog and website.
Pingler is one of them, and is a very good way to inform other search engines that you have a new blog post or even a new blog.

Wow, some really great tips here!
The only one that I really knew about was the one about social sites. I started using them about 45 days ago and I nearly doubled my traffic with it! (And it keeps growing)
It’s a great way to build up back links and get indexed.
And it’s a lot of fun!
I thought the “how much is my site worth” tips was cool. Because it’s super easy!
Great post, thanks a lot!

Great tips there! Getting listed in Google could sometimes take more than a week! I didn’t know that it could get indexed so fast!
I also didn’t know that MyBlogLog helps to get your blog indexed. LOL.
I’ve something to add too.
I’ve also came across a recent post (How to Make Your Blog Searchable in Google & Yahoo) on my friends blog, Simon Blog.
On his post, he tells that you should add your site to Google Webmaster Central and Yahoo Site Explorer and they will have you indexed pretty fast!

These are excellent tips!
In my experience, that is, this is what works for me: Posting daily content over a period of at least several months, on a WordPress blog, with a sitemap plugin, and no other promotion, will get your posts indexed in as little as 4 hours.
That’s a data point.
Nicole/MadlabPost
September 21st, 2009 1:37 am
While a few of the indexing tools you mentioned are known to me, I am not familiar with many of them so this is a useful post to consider when trying to promote a blog or individual blog posts.
If Mybloglog has good SE ranking like you wrote here, that is nice but the site does not always list all my current posts, which gives me the impression that Mybloglog is not updated as efficiently as it can be. It’s late listing my recent posts and this has been going on for a while. Blogcatalog has this problem every now and then as well but seems to be quicker on updates.

I’ve done a few of these steps, like registering with blogcatalog. It does help the search engines find you more quickly.

Again, another great article for blogging newbies like myself. In the quest be narrow or shorten the learning curve with my blog, I find myself reading lots, and lots, and lots of articles. Sometimes, I feel as though I might be getting overwhelmed with the content as some of what I read is not easily digestible. This is definitely not the case with posts on this site. Wow… I must definitely will be back to read many more posts.

Darren – Can your blog please keep all references to other sites up to date and accurate.
Those comments about Squidoo are TWO YEARS OLD!
Just in case anybody’s wondering whether Squidoo is doing OK in the Google index, Quantcast currently indicates that traffic is still growing and the site ranks at 157 in Google.
I don’t think that’s a ranking enjoyed by some of the other sites mentioned.
Granted it may have been a valid comment in 2007 but it’s no longer true so far as I am aware. Adult sites are banned from using Squidoo.
David Hopkins
September 21st, 2009 2:21 am
While commenting on someone else’s blog isn’t always god for SEo purposes, it is very good at getting your name and blog URL known and noticed by real people who live in the ‘real’ world (some of us do, any way!). the SEO might not be affected, but getting people to click through is, for some, more important .. these are the people who read!!
Thanks for continued great blogging.

Hi guys, thanks for all your comments. I am glad that you have found the post useful.
There are many ways to get listed on Google or if you keep blogging you will still get listed eventually. But the purpose of the post was – How to get listed within 24 hours after you launch your blog. And from my experience the above methods are the best way to achieve this.
Please send your comments in, I am sure there are many other ways and tactics to get listed by Google fast.

September 21st, 2009 4:03 am
This is a great list. We all want to get noticed as soon as possible it’s true. I had not know about some of the misc items.
As well – something I am discovering… if you want to get noticed by google. Google Reader is a very valuable tool.

Getting indexed fast has very little effect on it’s own, so of course it’s nice to see your blog and posts there quickly, so you can keep pushing. The key to getting indexed fast is setting up the blog the right way, putting the initial pages up and not blast all content out immediately.
It’s actually quite easy and doesn’t require so many things as covered here (although those help, as like said, getting indexed is not the only thing): Set your blog up with good SEO settings, add a good ping list, set the blog feed at feedburner (activate PingShot), have a XML sitemap and add that sitemap to Google Webmaster tools (+ verify your site there as well while at it). Do this and bookmark your first post at Digg/Delicious and you’re set. It takes 2-6 hours to get blog indexed this way.
As an additional step (not so much for indexing, but because it’ll help in the long run), adding your blog to directories like Ades suggested and registering the domain for max length (e.g. 3 years), help too.
I have tested this many times and it works, in case you’re interested in the topic as much as I am, I have written a 11 step guide about this in my blog, which covers not only getting indexed but getting a good start for your blog in general: http://zemalf.com/blogging/blogging-tips/how-to-get-indexed-by-google/

Wow. These are way too hard.
Install Google Desktop and/or the Google Toolbar. Browse around your site. Done.
Google desktop keeps an eye on where you go and indexes the sites that you visit. Whenever I am working on any of my sites and forums there are always two IPs. My local one and one from Google. It hits every page I hit in my browser.

I don’t have any connections to Seth Godin other than being a fan of his presentations, blog, and books. But the Squidoo mention (and accompanying link) is way outdated. Squidoo ranks just fine now. Pull up some PR on any “lens” or even the homepage and you will see that’s not really true anymore.
Spot on with the rest of the article. Good stuff!

Katherine and Don Mak… that particular link about Squidoo was given precisely for the reason to point out the event in the past (2007) about Squidoo being given less importance in Google results. Perhaps linking the words “not so much today” to the old link may have caused the confusion. I hope it’s clear now.
Nevertheless, sorry for the confusion and thanks for your feedbacks!

Oh wow, I have never thought of this, I can’t believe you could do that. Usually, it will take me a few days to index my new blogs. I think that is good enough, there is no need to get your blog indexed by Google in just 24 hours.
But in another way, I think this so cool, many people really want to do this. I think that if your pages could also get indexed so fast, that would be great!

Good list, a few new resources to check out (the feed aggregators).
I agree with Antti Kokkonen’s comment above – by creating an xml sitemap, submitting it to and verifying your site with Google webmaster tools, you can get all kids of cool stats about if/when and how many pages Google has indexed from your site.
There are lots of free sites that will create an xml sitemap for you, xml-sitemaps.com for example.

Although one thing I wanted to comment on was BlogCatalog – after reading your post I added myself to the site, and had my submission of my blog rejected for being too new and not having enough content to be of value.
It’s certainly not short on posts and has been active since March, so I am questioning its effectiveness for brand new blogs and getting indexed within 24 hours.

September 21st, 2009 6:47 pm
As soon as your site is available on the Internet, you can submit it to Google by completing the add URL form at: http://www.google.com/addurl.html
Another way to be listed, and to raise your page rank too, is by getting other websites to link to yours. After that, when Google’s robots or spiders, known as Googlebot, crawl the web, they should run across your site within a month or so. There are two types of crawls, fresh crawls and deep crawls. Your site most likely will first get a fresh crawl in which only pages Google deems most important are crawled. After Google runs a deep crawl of your site, most, if not all of the pages on your website that contain links from other pages will be crawled and subsequently listed on Google, except pages that are included in the file robots.txt, which lists pages that you don’t want Google to crawl and pages containing code that Google is unable to parse.Really a great post.Thanks a lot for sharing this post with us.

I’ve done most of these things, but I really noticed a difference in hits when I switched my blog from Typepad to Wordpress. My site isn’t huge, but it made a decided difference the first day. I know content played a role in some of it, but I cannot help but believe that Wordpress really helped.
Thanks again!

I think you can get indexed with just a tweet.
Google indexes all tweets and if Google really follows nofollow links, then you should be indexed in no time.
There is no reason why Google wouldn’t follow a nofollow link. Nofollow, as I understand, just states to Google “I am not so sure about this link”. The hungry Google would follow it anyway.

I do not agree with the authors views fully. I feel this can be achieved as followed:
1. Blog should be a good WordPress Blog – Clean one
2. Blog should have good content – as mentioned
3. Good commenting on other blogs
4. All in One SEO Plugin
The above should help.

Thank you for a solid article on getting indexed by Google. The ‘Change Detection’ tip was a great surprise as I hadn’t heard of it, and the site valuation & stats information was also very helpful.
I have owned and run a regional community site since way back in the woolly days of 1997 and I’ve found staying on top of industry changes to be invaluable for keeping my search engine dominance for bigpacific.com – which has cemented my market share here. The new Wordpress, with the ALLinONESEO is remarkably fast at getting stories into Google, sometimes even faster than I’d like! I look forward to using these additional tools.
I love Problogger.net because it really feels like a community that is there to help bloggers, rather than simply make money from them. I used to follow about 10 blogs or so daily, and Problogger is now the only one I read consistently and feel like I ‘can’t afford to miss it’.

I’ll definitely give it a chance.
In my opinion every link counts and it worth the 15 minutes I spent to process all the suggested above.

Use Ping.fm to outpost to multiple networks/social bookmarking sites, including Posterous.com (which i just got my client’s site listed in under 3 hours just by including at my site at manonthefly.com – check it out linked here to my name)
also – adding the domain to your google profile works too!

Vamsi, you ask how some people have their new blog posts indexed without doing anything? Well, I notice that my blog post are all indexed within hours from the moment of publishing. My husband has a blog, too, and he gets indexed withing an hour!
Could it be that it happens thanks to particular SEO plug-ins (I use WordPress)?

A good start for a blogger who wants to launched their new blog, this is oftenly mistaken by a blogger who already has a blog. Bring extra traffic will make this easier and faster. Also link building naturally will make Google spider visit your blog more faster.

Well I guess that you probably add this one http://www.pingomatic.com. This pings the search engine that some recent updates are made in the blog which will help you to rise your rankings in SERP as your post is fresh one.

I wouldn’t say that this post isn’t helpful, but I have managed to get to the top of Google search results within *1-2 hours* of posting. And I didn’t use any of the techniques mentioned. It really all boils down to keyword selection.

I believe that content is king. In addition, I also use Google Webmaster Tools to help me find out which post and keywords that readers use to get to my blog.
Ades
September 25th, 2009 4:16 am
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions!
The post was intended to be used for any website (not only blogs). As for blogs, using SEO Plugins, creating xml sitemap and using pinging services do help greatly in getting listed and improving search rankings.
As for adding your URL to Webmaster Tools of Google, Bing and Yahoo, it’s a must. However, it doesn’t guarantee a fast listing. Dealing with Search Engines directly has always been tricky. They do not behave the same to all websites, so it’s quite hard to tell when exactly your blog/website can be listed after you add your URL to them.
However if you follow the above methods, which are indirect methods… then it almost forces Search Engines to index your blog right away! :)

Thanks so much for this helpful resource – I have it bookmarked!
Late last month my site went down for three days during some unexpected failures with my hosting provider. I ended up getting dropped from the search engines and am having to start over… seems like it is taking longer this time then when my site was newly listed …
The good thing is that my research on the subject led me to this page with some very helpful new tricks!
Thanks again – Cheers,

Just a little hint. When you use Facebook, sign up for Networked blogs, which, once it is set up on your Facebook page will automatically generate the post on the Page. Link your Twitter page to your Facebook page and the Facebook page will automatically Tweet your Post. Saves some work.

I have to add to the list of appriciative comments, this really is a great little starting list of some of the best sites you can use to help get your blog noticed and boost SEO. As will all things there are literally hundreds of sites you can add your blog to. I am sure 90% of the traffic will come from 10% of the sites and resources – so it is good to have someones preference list based on personal experience to help point us in the right direction.
There is only one thing I think you missed here – using widgets and plugins. I have quite a few widgets but one I particular think has SEO potential is Twitoaster – this can be set to automatically post onto your twitter feed when you create a new post (you can set the format of the tweet it sends), it also then tracks replies to the tweet and pops them into your blog’s comments. I am sure there are other widgets like this one as well which can really help people get some extra traffic by automating simple actions (lets face it you cant fit more than the post title and link on a tweet anyway, so automating it doesn’t hurt!).
Would be interested to see your thoughts on how this and similar technologies might help.

Hubpages is another good site, where you can write articles and link out to your blog from them. Once your “hubs” get higher rankings on the site, they become decent PR links.

Hubpages is great specially when you are just starting out to learn how to earn online. Hubpages is spidered frequently so you know that the pages you create will get found by the search engines soon enough. When writing a hub, concentrate on finding a profitable topic and don’t worry about promotion when you’re just starting. Soon you’ll see a trickle of earnings. The trickles will turn into real income if you just keep at it.
