    I've been thinking about what would be the best methods to get the google bot to visit your page early on. I'm working on alunching a new site and I would like for the bot to visit it as soon as possible ( I guess thats what everyone wants :)

    I've been working on obtaining links form various sites and I've linked from my related sites, but I'm jsut wondering if anyone knows a trick for getting the bot to go crazy that they would share.

    Good links and fresh content updated every day. There're no more tricks. Maybe you can try a Google's Sitemap

    Id recommend a blog, as long as you update it regularly, applying a blog to my most recent site got me listed in G in around 3-4 weeks.

    Too much time :rolleyes:

    Some good links and you'll get indexed in two-three days, that's the normal.

    A similar question was asket to Matt Cutts (Google) 3 days ago and he answered in his blog:
    My conclusion: get quality links and do not do things that make your site hard to crawl. Nothing very new.;)

    So work on my links. That's what I thought. I did notice both the google and yahoo bots came to visit last night. The did not crawl very deep, but they stopped by. Hopefully I'll get a few pages to show up in a few days.

    Thanks for the hints.
