Hi Title pretty much sums it up here! If I want to know if my article (with its link) has been found by google (and so become active in my page ranking score) will searching for it shed any light on it? If I fond it then google has crawled it..right? Thanks!
some times however your better off typing in site:URL HERE example site:www.explodetwitter.com If you get a result then your site has been indexed. If not it has yet to be indexed.
Sure, you can search for a longish (say 6-7 word) phrase from your article (in quotation marks) to see if it has been indexed. However, if the phrase contains punctuation, this may interfere with your finding it (bugs in Google). The better way is to see if it has been cached: just copy the url and do cache:URL (without spaces) in Google, like this: cache:http://www.example.com/article1.html If the search returns empty, it has not been cached yet. To speed up the caching, you can ping or simply tweet the URL. You can also access the cache via the dropdown from the Google toolbar. I hope this helps!
Of course... if you are able to get your article in the serp by searching for the exact unique title, it would mean your post has been suitably indexed! Regards, RightMan
The best way is to do it: Imagine you have submitted your article on an article directory. After approving your article, you can see your article on on that article directory. The best way is to search for the address of your article ( on that article directory ) in Google. If Google has been indexed it, you can see it and if not, you should wait for it to be indexed.
Man, there's tons and tons of repetitive 0-value spam all over this forum. Almost every thread I post in, I get notifications of further "contributions," a lot of which add absolutely nothing new or valuable to the discussion. I wonder if the mods are doing anything at all about this. The has the potential to be a great forum, but because of low control 95% of everything here is just noise with signature links in it.
Why don't you just search the URL at google for example search http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1850475 on google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...thread.php?t=1850475&btnG=Google+Search&meta= and it shows this thread was indexed
The best solution is to search a phrase from your article with the quote signs, something like: "put here something from within your article but make sure to be a bit longer to avoid common phrases" This way you can see if you posted duplicate content, if your content was crowled or if someone stoled your content (over time). Good luck buddy.
