My site is pretty much crawled a lot by Google, but lately the new pages I've added don't seem to be getting crawled. Any possible reasons for this?
Submit a sitemap and link the new pages from another strong link. I got a brand new site indexed in 4 hours yesterday using a strong link and a sitemap.
Google's indexing is unpredictable. I use the same procedure (outlined below) for every new page, yet the speed of Google's indexing varies dramatically from one time to the next. But one fast track to indexing simply by using your own website is: • Link to the new page from your home page. • Link to the new page from your sitemap. Then relax and watch Google index it today or tomorrow, or (as happened to me with one new page) in six weeks!
I agree you should add a sitemap. for some reason google wasnt indexing my site but then i added googles sitemap and the next day all the pages were indexed.
Make sure you update ur sitemap and submit it to google after you add the link ..it would hardly take a week to get indexed.
On my case i see that it's unpredictable, but the working proof to make it fast was getting high quality links.
as Jim said.. link the new page from index and update your xml sitemap and resubmit it to google and be patient till googlebot crawls and indexes it
I've noticed that speed of indexing of my blogs depends on frequency of updates on each particular blog, e.g. I have several blogs updating daily and two groups of blogs updating bi-weekly and weekly accordingly. And intensity of crawling obviously differs for these groups, despite of the fact that there are no "revisit after" or similar tags and no sitemap submitted to google. However, this phenomenon can be also explained with different PageRank - the higher it is, the more frequently a site is getting updated. What do you think?
