    Let's say I opened my profile page somewhere lets say
    www.somesocialnetwork.com/mypage/profile

    Now somesocialnetwork.com is indexed and listed by google.

    How can I expressly tell google to index and list just my page that is within indexed site?

    Thanks

    If you have a "Google Custom Search" box on your website (for example, on the home page), go into your "custom search" account > control panel > indexing. There you have an option to submit an individual page(s) for indexing.

    If you really wanted to prevent homepage from being indexed by Googlebots, robots.txt could help. You may consider reading these comprehensive guides

    Block or remove pages using a robots.txt file

    Robots exclusion standard

    Putting a backlink to that page in any place that gets crawled regularly will help get it indexed
    This is assuming that the profile page can be accessed without logging into the site.

    you got some great advice above.
    along with that you can do link building for that specific page, that should help.

    Goo0d advice. And a well placed backlink can also create immediate traffic. :)

    I'm not after immediate traffic. I'm after being immediately indexed.

    Let's say, twitter.com is indexed.
    I open up a profile like twitter.com/someprofile and it's not indexed.

    I'm looking for a way to index twitter.com/someprofile ASAP, that was my question. (Obviously, I can't submite sitemap, change robots.txt file and do other admin stuff on twitter)

    Good solution was that I should link that page from some other page that is indexed, but it also takes time I believe. Can I just submit it expressly somehow?

    All search engines have a 'submit your url' facility - but it's not a quicker option. Putting it in your DP sig is as good as anything - DP gets crawled frequently throughout the day

    Agree. I do that with every new page I add. I have a "Recent..." section on my home page, where I put a link to each new page I write. They seem to get indexed quickly.

    Read the first post. It is my personal page on a social network. I don't have an ability to FTP robots.txt
